Revolutionary worker assistance systems increase efficiency and secure company knowledge
Modern worker assistance systems are revolutionizing industrial manufacturing by providing information individually at each workstation. In addition to classic functions, AI chatbots enable employees to retrieve knowledge and contribute to improving existing work instructions through voice input. This is particularly important in light of demographic changes and the associated shortage of skilled workers, which leads to the loss of valuable knowledge.
Digital worker assistance systems like workstAItion 5.0 from DE software & control combine voice and image recognition with artificial intelligence. They offer step-by-step instructions in text, image, and video, tailored individually to the employee. An AI-supported chatbot enables bidirectional communication, allowing employees to directly report problems or errors in work instructions. This leads to iterative improvements in work processes and increases efficiency.
The systems also simplify knowledge documentation and training. Videos from training sessions can be converted into textual and illustrated instructions, and speech-to-text technology reduces editorial effort. This shortens onboarding time and reduces dependence on specialized personnel.
By integrating devices such as lasers, screwdrivers and pick-by-light modules, specific problems like incorrect components or faulty installations can be avoided. This increases the safety and efficiency of production processes and prevents costly errors and recalls.
Worker assistance systems can be used in various industries, such as the automotive industry, furniture manufacturing, electromechanical production, or special machine construction. They provide real-time information and enable continuous improvement of work instructions through employee feedback. This secures company knowledge and simplifies onboarding and training at the workplace.
