Best Connected Worker Platforms

MM
Researched and written by Matthew Miller

Connected worker platforms help industrial companies plan, schedule, and monitor complex manufacturing and supply chain operations across multiple locations and teams. This type of software enables companies to correctly plan and assign work orders and fosters collaboration and information sharing between employees. Connected worker platforms are used by production supervisors and inventory managers to schedule and assign work orders and by employees to execute the work assigned to them.

Connected worker platforms are delivered as standalone platforms and require integration with software for manufacturing and supply chain, such as ERP systems, manufacturing execution systems, supply chain suites, and advanced planning and scheduling (APS) software. To ensure the safety of the employees, this type of software also integrates with environmental health and safety (EHS) software.

To qualify for inclusion in the Connected Worker Platforms category, a product must:

Provide customizable templates for production and supply chain procedures
Help supervisors create and manage work procedures and schedules
Include workflows to assign work orders based on standard or custom criteria
Allow employees to access work procedures and collaborate on any device
Monitor work order execution and employee productivity across multiple locations

Learn More About Connected Worker Platforms

What are Connected Worker Platforms?

Smart technology, or physical assets connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), has helped to usher in what many consider the fourth Industrial Revolution—along with robotic systems, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Warehouses, factory floors, and field operations are transforming in real time, integrating these advanced systems wherever possible. In addition to the equipment being used across industrial operations, field workers themselves are becoming connected assets, thanks to wearables and other mobile devices around the work environment. Connected worker platforms harness the power of this technology to bring unprecedented insights, communication, safety, and process optimization to these field operations and shop floors. Used properly and with the right hardware, these solutions can turn any industrial team into a fully connected workforce, helping them reap the benefits of Industry 4.0.

As smart cameras and tracking technology grow more prevalent across these and other industries, there are an increasing number of ethical questions related to worker surveillance and monitoring. It’s important to keep this in mind when researching the platforms in this emerging category. Though the benefits of connected worker platforms are many and varied, you should consult with your HR and/or legal team about the privacy implications of these solutions before investing in or implementing them across your operation. You should also clearly communicate the extent of this workforce monitoring to your employees and anyone being hired in the future. This may entail creating documentation and agreements related to how employees are being tracked and how this information will be used. In the end, these solutions can greatly improve safety, efficiency, and outcomes for everyone on your team, but this should not be at the expense of employee privacy and trust.

Key Benefits of Connected Worker Platforms

  • Allow for real-time tracking of frontline workers and their assets across a distributed operation
  • Enable virtual support and guided process execution to achieve operational excellence
  • Generate analytics about workforce efficiency and safety without the need for in-person monitoring
  • Improve regulatory compliance across worker processes, equipment, and environments

Why Use Connected Worker Platforms?

As smart devices and wearable technology become more readily accessible for industrial companies, it can make sense to connect a workforce for a variety of reasons. Firstly, connecting workers to the cloud can provide supervisors and executives with a more accurate view of worker location and activity at any given moment. This can eliminate guesswork as to if factory staff and field employees are where they are supposed to be and performing the work that is needed of them. Along with this, though, connected worker platforms can set up the workers themselves for success in ways not previously possible, improving productivity, safety, and employee satisfaction across the operation.

A number of the solutions in this category share features of or integrate with work instructions software and standard operating procedures software, giving workers convenient access to explanations of processes and/or checklists for completing routine duties and complex job tasks. Thanks to wearables such as smart glasses, users of connected worker platforms may be able to access and engage with this timely information without needing to use their hands, ensuring optimal productivity and worker safety.

With some connected worker systems, supervisors and team leads can offer remote assistance during certain jobs or tasks, in addition to general on-the-job training, even if the workers are in isolated or high-risk environments. Finally, these solutions can help make critical observations about worker and team performance through a variety of data metrics. Using this data, management teams can ensure the continuous improvement of operations by shaping strategic decisions (e.g. worker placements, task structuring) based on the findings. These intelligent capabilities can free up workers and supervisors to focus more on their most important responsibilities, while helping them optimize their approaches and stay protected every step of the way.


Who Uses Connected Worker Platforms?

The solutions in this category are custom-tailored for industrial and labor-based scenarios, where frontline workers are immersed in high-stress environments such as factories and field operations. Some common roles that can benefit from the user experience and real-time data of connected worker apps are floor supervisors, factory workers, and field operators. The solutions in this category each offer a unique set of tools for utilizing smart devices in these settings and transforming an industrial workforce with various tech-based enhancements. These tools can also help supervisors and their respective field teams feel more united than ever, even when miles apart. If you are considering a modern solution for your industrial team, consider what your team’s particular needs are and which roles are likely to benefit from the investment before researching the diverse offerings on the market.

Connected Worker Platform Features

As smart technology evolves, and also becomes more affordable for independent companies, solution vendors are finding new and different applications in connected worker scenarios. With that being said, the solutions featured in this category are each unique in their capabilities, offering some combination of features for use across a connected team. In some cases, vendors offer proprietary hardware such as smart glasses or sensors as part of their solution offering, while others allow for integration with an existing IoT infrastructure. Vendors may offer customized solutions to fit your company’s specific needs, so it may be helpful to speak with a representative and discuss these possibilities before selecting a tool. The following are some general capabilities you may come across when researching the diverse solutions in this category.

Guided Tasks — A significant benefit of connected worker technology is the ability to assist factory and field workers on the job in ways not previously possible. This may be accomplished through live support directly from supervisors or automated support through smart devices. An example might include intelligent recommendations during order picking or assembly using augmented reality on smart glasses. In some cases, it may be as simple as seeing job checklists on the screens of smart glasses, allowing workers to keep their hands free and focused on the task at hand. Factory or field employees may handle dozens of high-stress tasks in their daily routines, with little room for error. Guided support through connected worker platforms can help ensure a complete success with each task, without workers having to interrupt their progress to ask for help or reference their physical manuals.

Worker Health and Safety — By nature, manufacturing environments and field operations can involve a variety of hazards, and many of the high-stress activities these workers handle can pose serious risks in the event of accidents, equipment failures, or a sudden change in conditions. Management teams should do anything in their power to oversee worker activities and conditions to prevent mishaps from occurring. Connected worker platforms will often include features that assist with worker safety, from intelligent audits of regulatory compliance to automated alerts during irregular activity. If workers are wearing smart devices, integrated connected worker platforms may enable them to monitor vitals and identify an immediate health risk so it can be instantly reported to supervisory teams. In other cases, these platforms may continuously monitor environmental conditions and trigger alerts when certain conditions (e.g. toxic gas levels, temperature) approach their respective thresholds. Platforms may generate regular data about work environments and worker health, so managers can proactively address any possible issues before they pose a threat to frontline workers.
