In smart manufacturing, effective data collection and analysis are crucial. But to truly succeed, it's essential to integrate the coordination of personnel, equipment, and materials into the process.​For the factory worker, this would typically be through a series of digital nudges that guide their decision-making throughout the day, enabling them to work in harmony with smart machines for optimal results.​To discuss more the value and implementation of human-machine collaborative systems for smart manufacturing, I talked with Rafael Amaral.​Rafael is the CTO and Co-Founder of TilliT, a cloud-based digital operations platform that provides alternative approaches to traditional supply-chain management systems, MES platforms, and OEE software.​Below is the outline of our conversation.​✅ Opportunities for human-to-machine collaboration in manufacturing✅ Benefits of effective orchestration of human-machine collaboration✅ Assessing and redesigning processes to facilitate seamless human-machine collaboration.✅ Connectivity Guideline for Real-Time updates✅ Understanding human efficiency in influencing the operational value✅ Identifying and resolving value-destroying behaviors on the shop-floor✅ Impact of knowledge retention for digital transformation✅ Selecting technology platforms for frontline workers✅ Role of Unified Namespace in driving human-machine collaboration systems.✅ Performance metrics and monitoring strategies for human-machine collaboration✅ Deliver effective training programs to prepare frontline workers✅ Case studies on implementing human-machine collaborative systems.​
