The Future of Industrial Work – How the Augmented, Connected Worker is Transforming Manufacturing:

The manufacturing sector is facing an increasingly unstable, unpredictable, and diverse workforce. The sector that was already stressed by a tight labor market, a rapidly retiring baby-boomer generation, and a 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.

Generative AI Copilots in Manufacturing – Empowering Frontline Workers:

The explosion of AI and Generative AI has had a huge impact on today’s workforce, including improving talent acquisition, content creation, and transforming learning ecosystems. However, despite the hype and early buzz, Generative AI technologies have failed to create an impact on employees at times when they need support the most – in the flow of work.

In manufacturing’s stressed labor market, where workforce challenges and skilled labor shortages are widespread, the application of AI and GenAI technologies to help guide and support employees is critical. Perhaps the greatest example of this is today’s frontline workers – the ones who must be physically present to do their jobs, and are critical to an organization’s success. They make up most of the workforce today yet are woefully underserved by learning technology.

LEAP HR Manufacturing 2024 – Join Augmentir at Leap HR’s ninth annual manufacturing summit and learn about connected human capital management, learning in the flow of work, and AI-driven professional development. This is the best opportunity to gather with other manufacturing HR professionals and leaders to delve into how different organizations are fostering labor relations, mitigating the impact of crippling talent shortages, revamping engagement strategies, future-proofing against skill gaps, and attracting the next-gen manufacturing workforce.

Augmentir at LEAP HR 2024

AI and connected worker solutions are redefining the manufacturing learning and development processes, empowering frontline workers with access to tools, data, and insights to bridge skills gaps and revolutionize training. The AI and Generative AI explosion has had a huge impact on HR & learning; improving talent acquisition, content creation, and transforming learning ecosystems.

However, despite the hype and early buzz, Generative AI technologies have failed to create an impact on employees at times when they need support the most – in the flow of work. In a stressed labor market, where workforce challenges and skilled labor shortages are widespread, the application of AI and GenAI technologies to help guide and support employees is critical allowing faster problem-solving, proactive insights, and enhanced decision-making.

Visit us at our booth or join us for our speaking session (more details to come) to learn how AI-powered connected worker technology and generative AI manufacturing assistants transform learning for frontline workers, improving onboarding, enabling learning in the flow of work, and driving more efficient upskilling and reskilling.

Augmentir recently participated in the 2020 ARIA Leadership Summit at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA. The AR in Action (ARIA) Leadership Summit featured live presentations from inventors, innovators, integrators, investors, and other executives that are experts in the industry. The summit focused on the latest advancements in augmented reality, and how AR and other technologies will shape the industry in 2020 and beyond.

Augmentir’s Chris Kuntz presented on “The Rise of the Augmented Worker: How AI and AR are Shaping the Future of Work.” This presentation showcased a unique use of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) in the manufacturing sector, and how AI is being used to intelligently close the skills gap and transform the frontline workforce of the future. The combination of AI and AR will allow us to provide the next generation of connected workers with AI-driven, visual guidance that will continuously improve work outputs and ultimately lead to the exponential productivity gains industrial companies are looking for.

Here is a recording of the presentation.

Supported by an increased level of connected-ness of today’s frontline workers, AI systems are capable of taking in large amounts of data and finding correlations and patterns that can be used to help improve productivity, enhance skills, and provide more cost-effective, targeted training. With an ecosystem of content authors, frontline workers, subject matter experts, operations managers, continuous improvement engineers, and quality specialists, there are dozens of opportunities to address the skills gap, improve quality, and improve performance.

The level of personalization that an AI-based system can deliver to work procedures and instructions allows companies to not only address initial skill gaps but also deliver continual improvements over time.
