Enhancing workforce capabilities, from streamlining operations to driving innovation
Securing the workforce’s trust, support, and engagement is essential to drive successful digital transformation in manufacturing. True innovation occurs when technology and people seamlessly work together; at the heart of any successful digital transformation project is the impact it has on people – and how it can empower them to embrace and champion change on a daily basis.
The role of AI in manufacturing and mobility is to complement the roles of workers. Think about a service engineer repairing a critical piece of equipment in the plant. AI simplifies their job by making prompt decisions, quickly analysing complex datasets, and delivering a solution that can ultimately get the production line up and running quicker. Wasting time interpreting data only stifles productivity and efficiency.
Ultimately, whether it’s making data-driven decisions, solving complex problems, automating processes, or delivering personalised customer experiences, AI enables manufacturing decision-makers to do more, albeit better, and faster. It allows teams to concentrate on what matters most, enhancing human touchpoints instead of replacing them.
At Panasonic Connect, we adopt Gemba Process Innovation principles, that enables us to reimagine operations and unlock creativity using cutting-edge technology. Whilst similar to the ‘Kaizen’ philosophy, Gemba takes it a step further by prioritising significant breakthroughs.
Although its roots are in manufacturing, Gemba’s applications stretch far beyond. In production environments, it serves as a catalyst for automation, seamlessly integrating technologies like robotics to revolutionise workflows. This approach has the power to drive meaningful innovation across industries, enabling businesses to operate smarter, faster, and with greater agility. By challenging traditional processes and embracing the possibilities of technology, Gemba Process Innovation isn’t just about keeping up, it’s about redefining what’s possible.
AI delivering performance at the edge
In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, delivering exceptional AI capabilities at the edge demands high performance devices. Panasonic is committed to empowering mobile workers with purpose-built TOUGHBOOK tablets and notebooks on Windows 11 Pro, which surpasses expectations in performance, battery life, toughness and connectivity – comfortably handling AI-enabled tasks with seamless efficiency. But power and performance is just the beginning.
At Panasonic, user experience is everything. For example, ultra-responsive, glove-friendly touchscreen technology displays crisp AI-enabled visuals, whilst allowing for precise inputs to be made, whether the user is in the pouring rain or the blinding sun.
In the dynamic world of manufacturing, reliable, rugged technology isn’t a luxury; it’s necessity. Rugged devices have become essential for mobile teams operating in demanding environments, offering the durability and performance needed to stay connected, efficient and productive.
One example that suits the manufacturing sector perfectly is the latest version of Panasonic’s TOUGHBOOK G2, which sets a new benchmark in rugged tablet technology, The G2mk3 boasts military-grade durability and is IP65-rated for water and dust resistance. With an impressive 15-hour battery life, the TOUGHBOOK G2 minimises downtime for users in manufacturing, ensuring uninterrupted productivity throughout the day.
Connecting people and technology
Digital transformation in manufacturing is as much about people as it is about technology. By adopting a human-centric approach, organisations can ensure their workforce is enabled, supported, and empowered to achieve more.
AI capabilities combined with the rugged devices that Panasonic TOUGHBOOK offers to its customers are creating the groundwork for more efficient, sustainable, and productive environments—proving that technology is at its best when it works with people.
Therefore, field workers must have robust tools, making their operational tasks easier, safer, and more efficient while out doing their jobs. Panasonic TOUGHBOOK rugged devices reflect a deep understanding of these needs, proving that performance and durability go hand-in-hand.
