One of the biggest challenges in this process is managing regulatory or manufacturing documentation, which has traditionally relied on paper. \n\nThis is where JSON Schema emerges as a powerful tool, helping to organize, validate, and visualize information in an agile and efficient manner. Below, we will explore how we use this standard to transform document management in industrial processes. \n

What is JSON Schema and why do we use it?<\/h3>\nJSON Schema is an open standard<\/a> for structuring and validating data in JSON format. In the context of industrial digitization, its use allows us to accurately describe the structure and business rules associated with regulatory or manufacturing documents. \n\nKey Benefits:<\/b>\n
    \n \t
  1. Standardization and consistency.<\/b> By defining a schema, we ensure that all documents adhere to a uniform format and are error-free. This is crucial for data integration between systems and collaboration between departments or even companies. <\/li>\n \t
  2. Flexibility and scalability.<\/b> JSON Schema easily adapts to different types of documents, from assembly instructions to quality procedures. Additionally, it allows for incorporating changes without the need to rebuild the entire system. <\/li>\n \t
  3. Eliminating paper.<\/b> By working with structured digital data, we not only reduce paper usage but also improve access to information, making it available from anywhere and on any device.<\/li>\n \t
  4. Automation.<\/b> Thanks to the automatic data validation based on JSON Schema, we prevent manual errors and speed up processes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    From JSON Schema to dynamic forms with Formly<\/h3>\nFor digitalization to be truly effective, structured data must be easily accessible and editable. This is where Formly comes in<\/a>, a library that allows you to generate dynamic forms from a JSON schema. \n\nHow does the integration work?<\/b>\n
      \n \t
    1. Schema definition.<\/b> We create a JSON Schema that describes the structure of a document, including fields, data types, and validation rules.<\/li>\n \t
    2. Automatic generation of forms.<\/b> With Formly, we transform that schema into an interactive form, without the need to manually code each field. For example, a mandatory field for the batch number or a date picker for the task start is automatically generated based on the schema definition. <\/li>\n \t
    3. Centralized document management.<\/b> The generated forms allow users to interact with data in real-time, update relevant information, and ensure that everything complies with predefined regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
