The manufacturing sector is facing an increasingly unstable, unpredictable, and diverse workforce. The sector that was already stressed with a tight labor market, rapidly retiring baby-boomer generation, and the growing skills gap is now facing employee absenteeism, turnover, and quality issues that are strongly impacting manufacturers’ bottom lines. To maintain business continuity, manufacturers are now leveraging emerging technology to enhance their manufacturing operations.

The future of industrial work in manufacturing will incorporate strategies that include the Augmented Connected Workforce, a new approach that leverages smart connected worker platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), and other innovative solutions to augment and support frontline workers and create a seamlessly connected and dynamic work environment. This solution will enhance human capabilities and productivity by providing real-time access to information, enabling seamless collaboration, and facilitating immersive training experiences.

Learning Objectives:

Learn what Connected Worker technology is, and how it is being used in manufacturing to connect, augment, and empower frontline workers.
Hear real-world case studies from 4 manufacturing companies that are using Connected Worker technology to digitally transform their frontline operations across safety, quality, maintenance, and equipment operation.
Learn best practices and key considerations for implementing connected worker technology.
