Implement standard work to assist your operators

In production processes with high variance or high personnel fluctuation, digital worker assistance ensures planable work results.

Even the most experienced workers may find it hard to remember every aspect of every variant of product and need to look up the respective details. In many cases the required knowledge is hidden in paper folders and workers spend long times searching for the right information. Bringing this knowledge directly to where it is needed not only saves time, but also ensures that it's really used in the process. The WORKERBASE system can display a wide range of content from text and pictures, videos, PDF documents to interactive documents and 3D files. It can also connect to existing workplace hardware such as pushbuttons, pick-to-light systems or connected screwdrivers.

When process knowledge is digital and easily accessible, you can alert your employees of any out of the ordinary circumstances and surface the relevant information directly as part of the work process. With clear digital workinstructions, people make less mistakes and do not need to remember all details of all process variants. It is important for such a system to adapt to the skill level of the user in order to not bother them with unnecessary details or too many confirmation steps. The ideal workinstructions will understand a user’s knowledge level and seamlessly adapt to it. Excactly this does the WORKERBASE system. It records the number of tasks performed as well as most recent usage and can automatically calculate the employee’s current skill level.

Even within the same assembly line there can be a great variety of manual tasks that need to be performed and not all devices will suit all tasks equally well. WORKERBASE supports any iOS or Android device such as Smartglasses, Smartwatches, Smartphones, Scanners and Tablets, but also static workstations based on Android, Linux or Windows. Paired with other IOT devices such as barcode scanners, pushbuttons or connected screwdrivers you are able to create a hands-free environment that fits the ergonomic requirements of any job.

Frontline workers are using the WORKERBASE system to report defects or missing material during their work processes and you will be able to easily identify the most common problems. Individual stations may be dealing with more incidents than others and identifying the root causes only takes a few minutes with the WORKERBASE analytics functions. 

A high quality in shift handovers ensures an efficient work process and reduces errors as well as loss of information. The WORKERBASE digital shift book enables employees to collect relevant information and supports a structured information transfer. A real-time overview visualizes all data in a dashboard to review relevant KPIs.
