THE IMPORTANCE OF A DIGITALLY CONNECTED WORKFORCE (USING AR) IN 2023

THE IMPORTANCE OF A DIGITALLY CONNECTED WORKFORCE IN 2023

Digital connectivity in workforce

The world is highly driven by collaboration and connectivity. Therefore, companies need to act faster to adapt to their changing business environment in the digital era. Otherwise, there is a high chance it will cost you that top spot in your industry.

The constant emergence of technologies and devices is changing the work environment at an unprecedented rate, leading organizations to leverage these technologies to maximize digital connectivity and business agility.  

On the other hand, the outbreak of COVID-19 followed restrictions on domestic and international mobility, which means geographically-dispersed teams could not coordinate except via digital platforms. It gave rise to the need to strengthen digital connectivity in organizations on a global scale.

While it may seem the need of the hour, developing digital connectivity and building connected workforce platforms are a long-term transition every organization requires. 

Assisted Reality is Changing the Game 

Assisted reality is changing the game in the workplace environment and the Industrial Metaverse. It seems like assisted reality (aR) technology has just emerged.

However, the reality is that aR has been around for a decade but came into the limelight during the pandemic when companies adopted it to streamline communication between a field worker and remote export, maximizing operational efficiency to recover from the loss. Assisted reality wearables that allow technicians to share real-time information with geographically dispersed or work-from-home teams have become commonplace in several industries.

On top of that, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is taking digital connectivity a step further; AI-based software can guide field workers through routine tasks with minimal human intervention.

 

Elevated Safety Levels With aR 

Many field jobs are dangerous since field workers must perform tasks in a dangerous and highly critical environment. In these cases, carrying a smart device is highly risky because concentration and focus are required. aR has truly transformed task performance and completion in such risky environments.

With features such as hands-free voice control technology, drop-proofing, noise cancellation, and more, these devices give workers the ability to communicate with remote experts hands-free and without any need for a handheld device. Stats prove that organizations can increase safety for workers by up to 70 percent using an intrinsically safe head-worn device. 

Remote Guidance Using aR Devices 

Forward-thinking organizations are increasingly focusing on increasing digital connectivity between teams considering its scope and potential in the future. Expert assistance is highly valuable in field tasks to reduce downtime, prevent delays and increase operational efficiency.

However, the pandemic changed the dynamics of the working environment and enabled organizations to realize the importance of digital connectivity.

aR devices allow remote experts to seamlessly connect with technicians to tackle unplanned downtime, assist in task completion, and perform remote audits. Devices like Cimō or the Navigator 500 enable experts to share information in real-time using a live video collaboration feature, zoom meeting, or even just a voice call. 

Overall, the importance of a digitally connected workforce has increased, and assisted reality is facilitating the transformation in several industries. Modern-day organizations must integrate technology to become digitally advanced and streamline communication.
