Digital Augmentation: The Missing Element to Your Frontline Operations

December 07, 2022 |

Instead of bringing in the latest technology and hoping for improvements, machine shops and manufacturing plants should consider how such technology can augment their human resources and empower them to solve daily challenges.

Presented By:

The hype around "digital transformation" is at an all-time high, but many manufacturers aren't buying it. Some organizations tried to replicate digital use case from other industries; others got stuck deciding whether they were ready for digital transformation at all.

When sustainable change fails to materialize, it's time to stop chasing buzzwords and return to the fundamental strength of all manufacturing businesses: frontline workers.

Frontline workers are irreplaceable in manufacturing. Instead of bringing in the latest technology and hoping for improvements, machine shops and manufacturing plants should consider how such technology can augment their human resources and empower them to solve daily challenges.

With digital augmentation, you'll gain a clear view of production by capturing data from your shop floor operations—transforming your production environment and driving continuous, sustainable improvements which will allow you to be resilient in the face of disruption and change.

By the end of this webinar, you'll have a clear framework for achieving digital augmentation and continuous improvement across your shop-floor operations.

Agenda:

  • Why digital transformation initiatives fail for many manufacturers
  • What a human-centric approach to digital transformation looks like and why you should adopt it
  • How you can leverage digital solutions to augment your frontline workers and drive truly sustainable transformation
