Knowledge transfer

Why is experienced workers' knowledge key?

Interesting statistics

Gathered from our talks with more than 60 factories in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany

35%30%25%20%15%10%40%

40% fewer graduates

Every 3-5 years there are 40% fewer engineering graduates and fewer new employees working in maintenance positions.

60%

Increasing company costs

60% increase in company costs associated with experienced maintenance workers retiring and subsequent machine servicing.

25%

25% lower productivity

New generations and graduates are not as motivated to work with older machines or unintentionally damage them.

Why knowledge of experienced workers is important in factories

Legacy machines and their modifications

Many factories have older machines, for example from 1970, that have historical manuals only in paper form or have been variously modified.

Problem-solving experience

A person who works daily with a given machine/process already knows from experience why some things need to be changed from the manual.

Training the younger generation

It is necessary to pass knowledge to new colleagues and educate them in an appropriate way, which is best done in practice.

Digitalization of knowledge

To transfer company knowledge from experienced workers into digital form, we created a solution that integrates AI with manually specified assets into a unified form that can be shared across the company.

People knowledge

Using a voice assistant, it is possible to record work/maintenance/service procedures into text form.

  • Voice-to-text in noisy factory environments
  • Capture tribal knowledge before retirement
  • Multi-language support for diverse teams

  • Automatic version control and updates

Paper documentation

Converting information from paper/scanned documents into a unified format.

  • OCR scanning of legacy paper manuals
  • Handwritten notes digitization
  • Preserve historical machine documentation

Videos

Converting information from videos/recordings into text form and creating guides according to use case.

  • Automatic transcription and timestamping
  • Extract step-by-step procedures from recordings
  • Create searchable video knowledge base
