Human Centric Industry 4.0: how to achieve a technology enabled workforce

Complete the form below to watch this webinar

For many, Industry 4.0 and digital transformation is about technology and operations. However, at the beginning, middle and end of each of these lines is a real person doing real work to get product into the hands of end users.

Digital transformation impacts those shop floor workers often in a profound way by providing tools, data and instructions to be more effective and efficient. Yet, according to the World Economic Forum, 75% of digital transformation projects don’t go as planned.

Ensuring technology deployments proceed as expected ultimately comes down to the level of engagement of the workforce.

Watch to hear how front-line workers at the world’s best companies, such as Brembo (Brakes) and Lacroix Electronics, have been the backbone for digital transformation in this unprecedented COVID era.

This discussion focused on two main topics:

  1. How workers from the shop floor to the top floor have adapted with agility and flexibility using remote work opportunities facilitated by digital transformation.
  2. How digital transformation helped workers to improve efficiency up and down the manufacturing process with insight from real case studies
