Digital safety briefings by avatar at the factory gate
A digital safety briefing by avatar is a guided instruction at the factory gate, in which an interactive avatar shows the driver or visitor the briefing as a video in their native language, checks comprehension through control questions, and documents completion with a timestamp, comprehension score and signature. Instead of a paper form or a silent video, the result is a traceable, archivable record — without an employee having to stand alongside.
This solves a typical factory-gate problem: safety rules such as mandatory helmets, hi-vis vests or photography bans can only be conveyed in a legally sound way if the person actually understands the briefing — and with drivers who don't speak German, that is hard to demonstrate without a multilingual solution. The digital safety briefing with the Check-In avatar Lucas delivers the instruction in more than 100 languages, actively checks comprehension and records compliance without gaps. This reduces your liability risk while at the same time relieving the gatehouse.
How does the digital safety briefing work?
The digital safety briefing follows a clear, guided sequence: the avatar detects the driver's language, plays the briefing video in their native language, then asks control questions to check comprehension and documents completion with a timestamp, comprehension score and digital signature. Only once comprehension is confirmed is the briefing considered complete.
Unlike a silent explainer video, comprehension is actively checked, not just assumed. Anyone who does not answer a control question correctly has the relevant section explained again — this ensures that the key safety rules have genuinely been understood before the person enters the site.
The entire process works without reception staff. Particularly with evening or night deliveries, when the gatehouse is unstaffed, the avatar carries out the briefing in full and with documentation.
- Language detection and briefing video in the native language
- Active comprehension check via control questions
- Repetition of individual sections on an incorrect answer
- Completion with timestamp, comprehension score and signature
How is the briefing documented in a legally sound way?
Every briefing is logged automatically — with a timestamp, the comprehension score achieved from the control questions, and the digital signature of the briefed person. This makes it possible to demonstrate at any time who completed which briefing, when, and with what level of comprehension.
The record is archivable and can be handed over to your internal audit system. Instead of loose paper lists or incomplete notices, the result is a continuous, retrievable chain of evidence — the decisive difference when it comes to liability and compliance.
This shifts the burden of proof in your favour: in case of doubt, you can document that the instruction was carried out properly and was understood, rather than having to rely on verbal assurances or a signature without proof of comprehension.
- Timestamp for every completed briefing
- Comprehension score from the control questions
- Digital signature of the briefed person
- Archivable record, transferable to internal audit systems
How does the native language help with comprehension?
A safety briefing only works if it is understood. That is why the avatar delivers the instruction in more than 100 languages and addresses the driver in their native language — from Polish, Romanian and Turkish through Bulgarian and Russian to Ukrainian.
This reflects the reality at German factory gates, where drivers and gatekeepers often share no common language. A briefing delivered in German that the driver does not understand is worthless in an emergency — and hard to defend legally. Explained in the native language and checked with control questions, the key rules have demonstrably been understood.
We configure the language selection to your driver and visitor demographics. German and English are included by default; further languages are added via the Multilingual module.
How long is the briefing valid and how is it refreshed?
After completing it for the first time, the digital safety briefing is typically valid for six months. During this period a returning driver does not have to go through the briefing again — they are forwarded directly after registering.
When the validity expires, the avatar automatically refreshes the briefing on the next visit. You don't have to monitor any deadlines manually or send out reminders — the system detects the expiry itself and triggers the instruction again.
This keeps compliance permanently up to date without additional organisational effort: routine visitors with a valid briefing pass through quickly, while expired briefings are renewed automatically.
- Validity after first completion: typically 6 months
- No manual deadline monitoring needed
- Automatic refresher on the next visit after expiry
- Valid briefing is checked automatically at registration
What is the benefit at the gatehouse?
The digital safety briefing noticeably relieves the gatehouse: instead of manually guiding every driver through a language loop and an instruction, the avatar takes over this routine part in full and with documentation. Staff can focus on exceptions and special cases.
At the same time, the liability risk drops because every briefing is understood, signed and archived. One use case makes this clear: the night delivery with no staffed reception — the avatar briefs the driver in full even then, without anyone needing to be on site, and the record is complete by morning.
Beyond the factory gate, the same briefing flow can be used wherever external people enter safety-relevant areas — for example with external contractors, maintenance services or visitors. One pattern, many briefing situations.
- Routine briefings run automatically via the avatar
- Staff focus on exceptions instead of standard procedures
- Lower liability risk through gap-free documentation
- Briefing also possible outside staffed hours

In more than 100 languages. The avatar delivers the briefing in the native language of the driver or visitor — from Polish, Romanian and Turkish through Bulgarian and Russian to Ukrainian. German and English are included by default; further languages are added via the Multilingual module, configured to your demographics.
After the briefing video, the avatar asks control questions. If a question is not answered correctly, the relevant section is explained again. Only once comprehension is confirmed is the briefing considered complete — the result feeds into the documentation as a comprehension score.
After first completion, typically six months. During this period a returning driver does not have to go through the briefing again. When the validity expires, the avatar automatically refreshes the briefing on the next visit — with no manual deadline monitoring.
The avatar takes over the multilingual routine briefing in full and with documentation, so that staff can focus on exceptions. The briefing also works outside staffed hours, for example with night deliveries. At the same time, the liability risk drops because every briefing is understood, signed and archived.
