Smart Industrial Assistant: Transforming Blue Collar Workforce | HCLTech
Overview

Delivering actionable intelligence to the last tactical mile

As the workplaces have been witnessing upgradation through technology disruptions, and digital transformation, there is a clear need for re-skilling, upskilling, and cross-skilling of industrial workforces to help them prepare for the future of work. The industrial workforce has been confronted with an impending digital skill gap that can impede the best workplace technologies from realizing the business benefits, whether it is task-based insights, equipment assessment, or performance evaluation.

A digital workplace transformation for the industries cannot be complete without augmenting the digital dexterity of the industrial workforce.

Our Smart Industrial Assistant (SIA) is transforming the future of work for the frontline industrial workforce by delivering actionable intelligence to the last tactical mile. This empowers technicians to have conversations with machines on error codes, maintenance procedures, service bulletins, and past performance.
