🧠 Use Case Example
Scenario: You have a hydraulic trencher with a complex set of operating steps and safety warnings.
You upload:
- The PDF operating manual
- A safety checklist
- A manufacturer warranty document
Field technicians can then scan the equipment QR code, open the profile on their mobile app, and instantly view these documents—even on-site.
