Prime Influencers

Why is now the time for training?

Deglobalization – Manufacturing is critical to our economy. In order to be competitive vs. low labor cost countries, US manufacturers must automate more and more processes. To achieve this, upskilling of existing workforce is needed. Industry 4.0 – The Fourth Industrial Revolution is here and bringing with it new technologies which requires continuous training Covid-19 – The way humans work together could be forever changed. Work from home, ability to work in close proximity, and now the need to be prepared for Covid-XX. Further, deglobalization will accelerate as a result of the pandemic. The implementation of collaborative robots will increase to further distance employees. Availability of skilled workforce – There is a gap between existing education output capacity and industry needs/demand. This coupled with the above factors will only widen the supply vs. demand gap.

Industry 4.0 Impacts

Central control Established value chains Production system operation is planned in advance Products are passive objects in the processing operation Decentralized self-organization through ad-hoc networking Virtual ad-hoc organizations Autonomous, self-organizing production units Active production process supported by intelligent products

Third industrial revolution The use of computers and robots leads to greater production automation.

4.0

Fourth industrial revolution Industry 4.0 describes the networking of people, machines, and products – in real time via the Internet.

Core elements of Industry 4.0

Condition Monitoring

Permanent or periodical measurements of physical variables. CM is considered as a building block of Smart Maintenance.

Communication standard

Standard in the communication of machines (M2M) Securely exchanging structured data.

Cyber-physical-systems

Merging of physical and virtual systems. They have their own intelligence in the form of microcontrollers and software, which allows them to connect to the outside world via sensors and actuator.

Big Data

Unspecific search for correlations and patterns in available but unstructured data. The goal is to detect unexpected connections  Basis for optimization

ERP/MES

ERP takes over the task of planning, controlling and coordinating all resources in a company. MES performs the detailed planning of production processes and resources.

Machine-to-Machine Communication

M2M communication denotes the automated data exchange between machines. Machines must be networked and ready for data exchange.

Augmented Reality

• Extended reality / computer-assisted

expansion of reality perception

• Currently mainly realized by smart glasses

RFID

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology for the identification of products as well as a medium to store data. It is possible to read and write data from/on the RFID tag. “...who am I ...” “...what can do I ...” “...what am doing I ...”

Certification

Training should be a primary part of annual budgets. Remember, would you rather train and employee and have them leave or not train them and have them stay? Further, employees value training and new opportunities leading to longer tenures.

• According to Training Industry Report (see reference below) – during and after the recession, training investments dropped. Then in

2011, we saw a surge in spending for training and development. So you are only delaying the investment when you cut training budgets – yet you lose the productivity gains in the mean time.

• There are many grants and incentive programs from State and federal Governments that will reimburse training expenses.
• Training must be part of a company’s competitive strategy to ensure. This ensures the ability to meet the demands of today and the

ability to quickly adapt to rapid changes in technology and disruptions like covid-19. Great resource: https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/organization/our-insights/to-emerge-stronger-from-the-covid-19-crisis- companies-should-start-reskilling-their-workforces-now#

Training is an investment – not an expense
