How Enterprise Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and the Consumerization of Software will Revolutionize Manufacturingtoday
Discover a new approach to leveraging AR and AI that will allow you to continually improve the productivity of your front line workforce
A White Paper by Augmentier.com
With a global footprint of 350 million workers in manufacturing, today’s front line workforce is being asked to perform increasingly complex jobs using technology that has remained relatively unchanged for 20 years. Whether this was due to neglect, other priorities, or the misplaced belief that robots and automation would replace all of these jobs, these users and processes have been
under-served.
Front line Workers 20 Years Ago
The tools that have been used 20 years ago to help manufacturing workers be more productive include a mix of tribal knowledge, that’s been shared informally with co-workers, and formal classroom training sessions with instructors. The problem with those is that the acquired knowledge typically fades within a
short amount of time unless you’re actively putting it to use right away. Finally, in the past, workers received their work instructions for a particular job in paper form which often became outdated and any data capture was done in an error- prone manual way.
Front line Worker of Today
Today, unfortunately, that picture doesn’t look all that different. Workers still rely heavily on knowledge passed down by their peers, as well as traditional classroom training. What has changed is that in some cases, companies have started to “digitize” their work instructions, and display some of the information previously provided on paper, now on a tablet, smartphone, laptop or other mobile device. Basically, we have taken the previous paper- based information and made a static electronic version of it possible to view on a device.
In this white paper, you will learn:
- How to leverage Enterprise Augmented Reality to guide frontline workers with augmented work instructions
- How Artificial Intelligence can be used to extend that value and drive continuous improvement throughout your organization
- How the “consumerization of enterprise software” is paving the way for companies to easily try, buy, and own solutions based on these technologies
