As experienced workers retire and fewer young individuals join the manufacturing industry’s workforce, companies in Europe and North America are grappling with major personnel shortages. Amid this challenge, the augmented connected workforce (ACW) is emerging as a vital solution. By integrating industrial automation technology, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), AI, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning (ML), ACW is enabling fewer workers to manage complex tasks efficiently, optimizing workflows, and reducing the dependency on larger workforces.
Best Practices: How Industry Leaders Are Succeeding with Smart Connected Workers
- Providing comprehensive tools like return on investment (ROI) calculators and AI-powered features to demonstrate fast time to value.
- Streamlining implementation by leveraging digital workflows with numerical control (NC) and logic control (LC) technologies.
- Accelerating implementation timelines and ensuring rapid value realization by using pre-built templates.
Enhancing accessibility by making apps available across multiple devices on the shop floor, reducing interaction burdens for connected workers.
