Webalo, The Connected Worker Platform for the Frontline Workforce™, proudly announces its recognition for the Connected Factory Worker category in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Manufacturing Operations Strategy, Gartner Hype Cycle for Frontline Worker Technologies, and Gartner Hype Cycle for Private Mobile Network Services, 2024 reports.
According to Gartner’s user recommendations, “Focus on creating a data-driven culture in manufacturing operations by promoting creativity and ingenuity”. And, as per obstacles stated by Gartner under the Connected Factory Worker category, “Initial benefits are deemed transformational but incomplete. Failing to address the “What’s in it for me?” and change management and not involving workers in the solution design and implementation process helps drive demand and adoption.”
Additionally, Gartner also recommends to “Consider architecture over applications. This will limit point solutions and the complexity of managing multiple vendors. Focus on pulling in data from other transactional systems such as MES as means to link production data with employee-led improvement opportunities. ”
Webalo’s Platform addresses all these critical points:
As stated by Gartner, “Connected factory workers leverage digital tools and data management techniques to improve and integrate their interactions with both physical and virtual surroundings. This improves decision accuracy, proliferates knowledge, and reduces variability.”
“Webalo is dedicated to enabling the core value propositions, for a successful Connected Worker strategy.” said Peter Price, Webalo’s CEO. “Our AI enabled Platform unites people, processes, and systems in real-time and revolutionizes the adoption, deployment, and operation of connected worker applications, to reduce downtime, increase operational excellence, and improve the bottom line, while driving engagement to increase workforce motivation and retention.”
