A complete ACW Solution
Frost & Sullivan identifies nine essential functionalities that an ACW platform must possess to be considered complete. Webalo's Platform checks all the boxes, offering an all-encompassing solution that transforms how workers execute their daily work, are provided with on-the-job training & assistance and are guided with optimized tasks and processes.
A "Single-Pane-of-Glass" for Enterprise Systems
Frost & Sullivan notes that an ACW must function as front-end software for all different vertical systems on the shop floor, allowing frontline workers to easily access the documentation and data they need to perform their daily tasks.
Webalo sets itself apart by providing "single-pane-of-glass" access for frontline workers, integrating access to all the critical data they need into one app on their device. Whether it’s ERP, MES, CMMS, or any other IT or OT system, Webalo ensures that workers can read and write data with all of them to collaborate and complete tasks efficiently without needing to switch between multiple systems.
The Platform eliminates the silos often created by these disparate systems, reducing operational complexity and enabling real-time visibility across the shop floor. Frost & Sullivan note that an ACW solution like Webalo simplifies the complex industrial company IT landscape, empowers workers with real-time data, and streamlines processes to increase productivity.
Webalo also acts as a centralized repository for the Connected Worker, consolidating access to all essential information through a single platform that workers can access from any device. This centralization ensures that everyone in the organization has consistent access to the data and tools they need, reducing the friction of switching between different systems and enabling a more cohesive digital experience, while empowering organizations with a connected ecosystem that drives efficiency, adaptability, and strategic insights, and drives continuous improvement throughout the organization.

Webalo's ADO framework helps enterprises overcome the challenges of digital transformation by streamlining the deployment of ACW solutions across multiple plants and teams. The ADO framework ensures fast onboarding, reducing the time it takes for new hires to become productive, and facilitates enterprise-wide standardization, offering immense value in multi-plant operations.
