Why augmented workers? Why now?
By augmenting workers, companies are solving the challenges that have plagued operations for decades. Using technology to simplify workflows helps with:
-
Manual data entry
Paper and spreadsheets can slow down frontline operators, leading them to skip data entry and leaving engineers with incomplete data.
-
Error-prone steps
Any error in an industrial setting can be critical and error-proofing measures are needed to prevent issues like quality defects and equipment failure.
-
Knowledge loss
With employee turnover and retiring experts, those who hold all of the knowledge are leaving with it and new operators don't have the training they need.
What does a connected workflow look like?
Integrate digital work instructions with devices and sensors that are connected at the edge to make data collection an intuitive step in your process.
