Training animation for Knauf - Simple Frame project

Training animations are an effective way to improve safety in companies that need to ensure compliance with health and safety rules in their daily operations. For Knauf, a global leader in building materials, we developed an animation in our Simple Frame studio to ensure proper driver behaviour when loading building materials. Available in three languages, our animation is a key training element to promote safety in the workplace.

Introduction to training animations

Training animations are a modern tool that allows companies to communicate important information in an attractive and understandable way. Through the use of visual techniques, complex processes and principles can be presented in a way that is clear and accessible to audiences at different levels.

Why are training animations important for companies?

These days, companies are looking for effective methods to educate their employees without the need for costly classroom training. Animations are an ideal solution, as they allow content to be played over and over again, helping to consolidate knowledge and minimise the risk of mistakes by employees.

Knauf Company - Our valued customer

Knauf is a global company that has been providing innovative building material solutions for years. Their products are widely used in a variety of construction sectors, making it essential for the company to ensure safety at all stages of its operations - from production to transport to installation.

Knauf history

Knauf was founded in 1932 and has since become one of the world's most recognisable brands in the construction industry. Their commitment to the development of new technologies and their concern for the environment make them a leader in their field.

Knauf Core Values

Values such as quality, innovation and social responsibility are the foundations on which Knauf bases its operations. The same principles also guide their approach to occupational safety, which inspired us to create the animation.

Animation objective for Knauf

The aim of our collaboration was to create an animation that presents the principles of safe loading of building materials in an accessible way. We wanted Knauf drivers and employees to understand the risks that can occur during loading and how they can be prevented.

Health and safety on the factory floor

At Knauf, employee safety is a priority. There are strict health and safety regulations in place at the factory, and our animation was designed to help all employees comply with them.

Loading of construction materials - risks and challenges

Loading construction materials is a process that carries numerous risks. Proper work organisation and the observance of appropriate procedures are key to avoiding accidents and damage to products.

Preparation of animation by Simple Frame studio

Working on the animation for Knauf was an extremely interesting challenge for us. We knew that we had to create a product that was not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing and in line with high health and safety standards.

Step-by-step process for creating an animation

Our first step was to thoroughly understand Knauf's needs. Based on detailed consultation, we developed a script that took into account all aspects of loading building materials. We then proceeded to create a storyboard, which became the basis for further production.

What techniques we used in the animation

In the animation, we used advanced 3D techniques to replicate as accurately as possible the real working conditions on the Knauf factory site. This makes the animation not only educational, but also engaging for the audience.

Why we chose three language versions

Due to the international nature of Knauf, we decided to produce the animation in three languages. We wanted all employees, regardless of the country in which they work, to be able to understand and implement the safety rules.

The impact of animation on health and safety processes at Knauf

The animation we created has become an integral part of health and safety training at Knauf. It gives employees a clear picture of what behaviour is expected when loading building materials.

Benefits of animation

The main benefit of using animation is to increase employees' awareness of the Security. Because the animation is available online, any employee can revisit the training material at any time.
