Industrial organizations are facing a workforce crisis: an aging workforce that is retiring faster than they can be replaced, a skills shortage for building advanced products, and growing customer demand for sophisticated products. Fortunately, technology advancement has provided lots of tools to assist the production line worker, but choosing between simple visualization dashboards, digitally-enhanced physical tools, IoT monitored operations, and analytics-driven applications can be difficult. The challenge is blending the right mix of new technologies and software to serve the assembly worker whose productivity ultimately determines operations costs, product quality and total output.
