Augmented Workforce: Empowering People, Transforming Manufacturing

Abstract

Augmentation technology, which includes diverse technologies such as virtual reality, computer vision and exoskeletons (see Table 1), provides opportunities to develop a human-centric vision of manufacturing – to the benefit of both businesses and their employees. This white paper on the implementation of augmentation technology – which presents the findings of 35 high-impact use cases and interviews with more than 100 senior executives – illuminates the opportunities for effective application of this technology in manufacturing and the benefits that accrue.
