Optimization of human-machine collaboration through intelligent worker assistance systems
DE software & control GmbH is revolutionizing industrial production with its innovative worker assistance system workstAItion 5.0. In the era of Industry 5.0, intelligent collaboration between humans and machines is at the forefront. “Knowledge and information become the central factor,” emphasizes Friedrich Steininger, Managing Director of the company.
With the shortage of skilled workers and demographic changes, valuable knowledge that has been built up over years on the shop floor is being lost. Employees often work with outdated or faulty work instructions, which affects efficiency and productivity. It is time to become independent of previous types of employee induction, to archive the existing knowledge and automatically provide it at the right time and place, explains Andreas Tobisch, COO of DE software & control GmbH.
The worker assistance system workstAItion 5.0 combines voice and image recognition with artificial intelligence to prepare work instructions individually for each employee. An AI-supported chatbot enables bidirectional communication, allowing employees to retrieve relevant information and report problems at any time. This leads to improved knowledge documentation and more efficient onboarding of new employees.
By integrating devices such as lasers, screwdrivers, and pick-by-light modules into the worker assistance system, production errors are almost completely prevented. This increases productivity and significantly reduces cycle and lead times. With workstAItion 5.0, manufacturing defects and resulting costs can be avoided from the outset.
The intelligent worker assistance system workstAItion 5.0 offers a solution for optimizing human-machine collaboration across industries, particularly in the automotive industry, furniture manufacturing, electromechanical production, and special machine construction. It provides employees with individually tailored information and guides them through their tasks in real-time, reducing error rates and increasing productivity.
