Look for NewForge, leaders in AR and smartglass solutions in the manufacturing space, at Fabtech in Chicago this September. NewForge is seeking users for their new platform, NewForge Knowledge Place. The platform is an online marketplace where technical and equipment experts offer remote support, on-demand through the power of AI and AR.
Your Business Can Now Access Equipment Experts and Technical Assistance Anytime, Anywhere
Currently, there’s a lack of resources in the manufacturing and logistics industries, specifically a lack of skilled workers with valuable equipment knowledge. The Wall Street Journal reported 69% of manufacturing firms report being short-staffed in skilled positions. Adding to this shortage, 3.5 million skilled manufacturing workers are expected to retire over the next decade increasing the gap in skilled labor.
With this lack of workers and equipment knowledge, many manufacturers deal with an increased amount of equipment and production downtime and a decreased ROI. According to the World Economic Forum and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd, manufacturing firms experience an average of 800 hours of downtime a year, and on average, each minute of downtime costs manufacturers $22,000.
Knowledge Place bridges the gap between industries in need of this specialized knowledge and experts with that knowledge using the power of AI, AR, and smartglasses.
How It Works:
Simply put, if equipment breaks, connect with one of our experts and get your equipment fixed. No more waiting hours or days for a technician to be on site at your business.
Users of Knowledge Place search through a database of technical experts and schedule a call for remote help, anywhere in the world, in real time. Through Knowledge Place, users can also query expert-powered AI to receive instant troubleshooting answers, and quickly create work instructions.
Knowledge Place also provides the Expert AI, a generative AI that is fed information from qualified experts and then uses that knowledge to quickly generate troubleshooting answers, AR work instructions, and much more.
