The worker assistance system for manual production tasks – ifm mate

Real-time instructions due to intelligent image processing

High assembly variance, fluctuation and complex process sequences lead to a permanently high need for training in manual production - combined with an equally high commitment of resources when the experienced colleagues support the new ones with advice and assistance. That is commendable but - hand on heart - also not very economical.

How about giving the new colleagues a full-time teacher who knows everything that's important? A colleague who is always available and points out deviations in good time and thus easily minimises errors. A buddy you can rely on in any production situation. A real mate.

Applications

Experience how easy and efficient it is to train the production process even for very small batches, effectively ensuring 100% quality from the very first step. Without any additional manpower. No frills at all. Very uncomplicated.
