Micro-Learning for Maintenance: 10-Minute Lessons

Maintenance engineers often can’t leave the floor for hours of training. Micro-learning delivers practical knowledge in small, mobile-friendly doses that fit into real shifts.

1. What Works

• Short video or animation per topic (≤10 minutes).
• QR codes at assets linking to repair tutorials.
• Offline availability — no dependency on Wi-Fi.

2. Example Topics

• Changing a servo drive safely.
• Resetting a vision system calibration.
• Updating firmware without losing recipes.

3. How to Measure Success

Track usage and feedback via LMS analytics. Plants adopting micro-learning report 30–50% faster onboarding and fewer repeat errors.
