Connected Workforce
What is a Connected Workforce?
A Connected Workforce creates an environment designed to empower employees with instant access to critical manufacturing information, tools, and resources. The connection includes instant access to quality results, training materials, work instructions, safety requirements, and collaboration tools that can be accessed “at the point of use”. The goal of a Connected Workforce is to improve operational efficiency, enable data-driven decisions, increase employee engagement, and both vertical and horizontal collaboration (with other departments and to management levels).
At A&E, Apex, and SkyIO, we begin by evaluating your digital maturity and then create a digital transformation roadmap that is tailored to your culture, operations, and strategic goals. Many companies are still running their businesses with excel, manual SQDCIME dry erase boards, and spending most of their problem-solving time reacting to the same manufacturing issues. We solve these issues through the implementation of a Connected Worker Platform. By evolving and maturing your digital posture, operational efficiency will follow naturally.

Connected Workforce Goals
- Augmented Learning – Using video, 3D, an automated tools to instruct operators in complex or repetitive tasks.
- Digital Lean – The marriage of lean concepts such as standard work and visual management with digital instructions, digital gemba, and prescriptive feedback to accelerate operational efficiency.
- Predictive Analytics – Normally used for maintenance to detect equipment failure, predictive analytics can be applied to process variables to detect process variability, vision defects or anticipate process failure.
- Prescriptive Feedback – Using Generative AI responsibly, manufacturing issue resolution can be accelerated. Providing automated suggestions or feedback to operators to prevent or minimize downtime.
