Training in Industry 4.0
There is a new Augmented & Connected reality changing training efficiency and safety.
Augmented reality capabilities allow our field technicians to perform inspections and maintenance processes faster, with fewer errors, and at the exact location, while managers have immediate feedback and ensure that tasks are done correctly

OVERVIEW
Training in Industry 4.0: A Core activity for business competitiveness
Training helps companies grow the quality of their human capital. In manufacturing, training leads to improved efficiency in the workflow but also works as an investment to ensure the long-term success of the organization.
Industry 4.0 and the technology associated with it have given training an entirely new dimension.
Challenges of Training in the Industry
These days, manufacturers face a series of mounting challenges. On the one hand, they must compete with overseas producers who manufacture at lower costs. However, at the same time, the aging workforce requires that young, bright but inexperienced replacements are quickly “trained up”. But this is where companies find the real obstacle: historically it has typically taken 20-30 years to train a new hire to fill high-level manufacturing jobs.
Faced with the challenges mentioned above, manufacturers need to provide more effective training to reduce this training cycle. That’s why it’s increasingly important to turn to the proven, researched, and scientifically valid techniques of industrial industry and instructional design when creating training materials.
How to measure the return on Training?

The digital Era of Training
Advances in Augmented & Connected worker technology, as well as Visual Remote Assistance, prove that workers now need less training, and join other workers in on-site work earlier without any additional risk or danger. Supported by the right digital capabilities, and remote expert assistance, workers’ skills are now endless.
