Products and processes have been transformed by technology. The people actually building and servicing your products? Still working from static PDFs and tribal knowledge. Canvas Envision is the visual execution layer of the digital thread. Our platform bridges the first mile and the last mile of knowledge delivery in manufacturing: capturing expertise from engineers and experienced workers, and delivering it as interactive visual instructions at the point of work. AI operates as a co-pilot for your experts, ingesting CAD data, existing documents, and video to draft structured instructions. Workers execute with clarity on any device, capturing inspection results, feedback, and compliance data back into the digital thread. Not one-way content delivery. A bidirectional knowledge exchange between your workforce and your systems of record. Canvas Envision integrates with PLM and MES systems, keeping instructions current as designs evolve. Start with standalone authoring, grow into connected workflows, scale to enterprise-wide deployment. The platform delivers value wherever you are on your digital journey. Founded in 1986. 40 years of experience serving manufacturing and industrial organizations. From graphics editing and technical illustration to AI-powered visual execution, we've evolved alongside the industries we serve. Smart factories need connected knowledge, not just connected machines.
