The traditional “one size fits all” approach to learning, guidance, and performance support in manufacturing no longer enables today’s workers to function at their individual peak of safety, quality and productivity, however, AI-driven training solutions offer a new path forward.

In an attempt to solve knowledge gap issues, an entire generation of companies set out to build “Connected Worker” software applications, however, they all relied on the existing training, guidance, and support processes. While digitizing work instructions is a great start, it won’t help completely solve the problem.

Enter the next generation: data-driven, AI-supported that trains, guides, and supports today’s dynamic workers by combining digital work instructions, remote collaboration, and advanced on-the-job training capabilities.

In this webinar, learn how Artificial Intelligence lays a data-driven foundation for continuous improvement in the areas of performance support, learning, and workforce development in manufacturing, setting the stage to address the needs of today’s constantly changing workforce.

Join us on February 3rd for this exclusive webinar and discover:

• Why static digital work instructions and the traditional “one size fits all” approach to training, guidance, and performance support doesn’t work
• Why industrial companies must go a step further with AI to overcome the lack of a skilled and qualified manufacturing workforce
• How AI lays a data-driven foundation for continuous improvement in the areas of performance support, learning, and workforce development in manufacturing operations
• Real use cases on how industrial companies are reducing onboarding times for new employees by up to 80%, while simultaneously achieving a 21% improvement in job productivity across their manufacturing operation

Accelerating Digital Transformation of the Frontline Workforce with an AI-based Connected Worker Platform

Organizations everywhere are facing 10x the rate of change versus prior decades. Those that see this as an opportunity in disguise and commit to innovate will separate themselves from the pack and reap competitive advantage of a kind that comes only once in many centuries. The top challenges leaders face include safety of every stakeholder, continuity in delivery to customers and staying ahead of competitors. AI Automation and AR enabled Remote collaboration are central now to the corporate innovation portfolio of any business leader and crucial to boosting productivity at a time when enterprises most need it.

As fewer people report to work on site, leaders need to do more with less by embracing AI powered automation and connected worker technology. Moreover, with experts retiring in large numbers, efficient knowledge transfer must be enabled with AR powered digital work instructions and visual-content-rich standard operating procedures. Augmentir, the world’s first connected worker platform which integrates AI and AR capabilities, meets the needs as a front runner in Industry4.0 applications which require convergence of physical and digital systems.

Join us for this webinar to hear from industry leaders Dr. DP Prakash and Lisa Sibilia, Co-CEOs of Youtopian, and Russ Fadel, CEO & Co-Founder of Augmentir as they share insights and best practices on how to help companies innovate to create a competitive advantage in today’s new normal. We will cover:

• Key findings from Youtopian’s work in partnership with Augmentir
• how connected worker technology is key to innovation with the frontline workforce in today’s COVID era
• AI Automation and AR enabled Remote collaboration are central now to the corporate innovation portfolio of any business leader and crucial to boosting productivity at a time when enterprises most need it

Dr. DP Prakash, Co-CEO of Youtopian, was the former Global Head of Innovation at Global Foundries and has held numerous technology leadership roles spanning Research, Development and Manufacturing over two decades at IBM. Lisa Sibilia, Co-CEO of Youtopian, is an expert in Education Management and a graduate of the LEAD Corporate Innovation Program from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Also hear from Russ Fadel, CEO and Co-Founder of Augmentir as he shares insights into how connected worker technology is key to innovation with the frontline workforce in today’s COVID era, where companies are experiencing disruptions to the workforce and new constraints around social distancing and travel. Augmentir is the world’s only AI-Powered Connected Worker platform for industrial companies and the first of its kind to combine enterprise augmented reality (AR) with artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to intelligently close skills gaps so that frontline workers can perform their jobs with higher quality and increased productivity while driving continuous improvement across the organization.
