Connect your assembly line workers to increase throughput

From utilizing PCs or Tablets mounted at a workstation to equipping your workers with mobile devices like Smartphones, Smartwatches or Smartglasses – WORKERBASE supports any device. Existing hardware such as connected screwdrivers, pick-to-light systems, RFID and light gates, SPS/PLCs or any kind of other connected device can easily be added to the WORKERBASE platform allowing you to build fully seamless workflows. Keep your workers hands-free and use the best device for the job from 65” touchscreens to simple click buttons.

Using the WORKERBASE AppBuilder and dynamic workflow management, changes to your production flow can be rolled out in an instant. Instead of complex end-to-end planning, every step in the WORKERBASE system is independently organized. This allows you to safely make changes and because of the unique design how WORKERBASE schedules jobs for the frontline workers, the resulting workflows become self optimizing. When adding in dedicated AI modules, your production flow can be optimized based on all available real-time data available achieving results that go far beyond what you can achieve with traditional static planning.

Keep your workforce perfectly prepared for their jobs from on-the-job training for new starters to organizing your operations based on micro-level skills. WORKERBASE uses a system of skills that describe the requirements of all assembly stations. By having each worker maintain their skill profile and constructing training programs which allow workers to extend their skills, your whole workforce becomes more versatile and reacting to changing market conditions is no longer a challenge. Every employee has their unique set of training opportunities that are typically constructed as a combination of digital trainings and offline sessions with more experienced colleagues. Training sessions can be automatically scheduled by the system based on employee and trainer availability.

Pairing the WORKERBASE Assembly module with other modules enables more advanced functions such as material management and line balancing. Once you add in the Changeover module, you will be able to automatically balance your lines and optimize for the most efficient configuration. This can be done on all or just parts of your available lines and takes into account changeover times, tools required and previous yield rates of your lines. With the logistics module added on top, your line configuration and material supply will be able to run on auto-pilot, by e.g. automatically assigning tasks to forklift drivers.
