IDEAL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NETWORKED HUMAN
Digital solutions for information, collaboration and integration
Advancing digitalization is giving rise to increasing complexity, with software and hardware playing a crucial role and offering a wide range of possibilities. At EDAG, we see networked people as a central factor for success in this transformation. Digital tools create tangible added value for your employees, improving collaboration and efficiency in their daily work. For example, smart glasses can be used to directly display digital content during maintenance processes, and show employees the next steps in real time. Our focus is on making networked people the center of attention, and using innovative technologies to create the optimal connection between humans and technology.
Our experts develop customized applications for use in digital tools (e.g. VR/AR glasses, tablet) to provide systematic support where people need it most. An important element of our concept is flexibility, which allows us to respond to the individual requirements of our customers. With over 50 years' experience in the industry, we offer practical, future-proof concepts. The advantages range from reduced costs, e.g. as a result of minimizing time spent searching, data transfers and archiving tasks.
Topic overview
Increased efficiency as a result of the connected worker concept
With the help of the connected worker concept and the aim of integrating people into company processes more effectively with the help of digital tools, companies can make their workflows more efficient and at the same time reduce costs. EDAG combines advanced technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality in production to identify bottlenecks as early as possible and simulate processes in real time. These digital solutions are aimed at various target groups: Virtual product presentations can be used to inspire investors by allowing them to experience future production scenarios in advance.
Workers benefit from the support of manual production processes, with digital tools such as AR glasses guiding them through their tasks step by step. Quality assurance officers also receive support in the QA process, with digital process optimization minimizing sources of error and increasing process quality. Our process optimization consulting services are aimed at developing customized solutions to not only increase productivity, but also use resources more efficiently and create sustainable improvements.
From the analysis to the implementation of connected worker solutions
- Analysis
We examine existing processes and identify optimization potential. - Concept
We design customized process optimization concepts. - System development
Using advanced technologies, we model your optimized processes and implement the software-based solutions. - Valid validation
We carry out tests and real-life validations to verify the optimized processes. - System integration
We integrate the optimized processes into your existing workflows and improve overall efficiency. - Rollout
After implementation, we provide you with ongoing support and help you to adapt your processes.
Application to support and document quality assurance in production
- Requirement
- A central solution for the interactive and intuitive documentation and organization of the quality management process in product audits
- Three-dimensional localization of complaints
- Solutions
- Central database-assisted application for carrying out a product audit
- Use of 3D models to localize complaints more effectively
- Augmented reality (AR)-supported fault localization on the geometric digital twin
- Your benefits
- Process reliability and increased efficiency through centralized documentation and forwarding of product audit results
- Usability of data for analysis (predictive maintenance) and follow-up processes
- Elimination of non-value-adding activities by integrating the application into the IT infrastructure
Virtual battery assembly
- Requirement
- Qualification of employees in an early phase, e.g. in battery assembly for a southern German automotive manufacturer, in which no hardware is as yet available
- Solutions
- Creation of digital training applications for tablets, HoloLens 2 and desktop PCs following a standardized didactic approach
- Creation of learning units for the assembly and disassembly of components (e.g. motor, electric drive and battery cell)
- Your benefits
- Increased efficiency (time, cost, quality) in the way in which qualification courses are held
- Reduction of the carbon footprint
- Self-study-based, proactive and instructor-independent acquisition of knowledge by learners
- Spatial and temporal independence when holding training courses
- Increase in technical learning success, reduced qualification time for employees and shorter time to market
How you benefit
- Reduction of non-value-adding work as a result of having integrated, networked and empowered employees.
- Increased productivity as a result of minimizing time spent searching, data transfers and archiving.
- Time savings as a result of shorter development times, a quicker start of production and shorter time to market.
- Greater process reliability as a result of intuitive process control, reducing rectification work, scrap and complaints.
- Integration, retention and enhancement of the company for employees
