Name: Augmenting Workers to Adapt to quick changes in production
Advanced Analytics and artificial intelligence (AI)
Abstract: Even in automated factories, workers perform essential tasks such as handling components, changing tools, quality procedures, and solving unexpected problems. Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) require skilled workers, necessitating complex training. The AWAke project aims to augment workers using a NLU-enabled intelligent mobile tool, Ancora Worker Connect (AWC), which features an intuitive visual interface. By leveraging AI, NLU, multimodal interfaces, and advanced analytics, AWAke reduces cognitive load, organizes actions, and ensures consistency, enhancing productivity and quality. The system provides step-by-step instructions through voice and visual interfaces, allowing workers to efficiently complete dynamic quality controls. Integrated with MES/MOM/ERP systems, AWAke dynamically adapts to the shop floor environment. Demonstrated at INDAERO’s aerospace component factory, AWAke has advanced AWC to TRL7, showing significant improvements in worker productivity and reliability while facilitating the onboarding of new workers.
