Struggling to have the right people with the right skills? Difficulty engaging & retaining your workforce? Turning away business due to workforce or capacity challenges? Idle equipment and missed deadlines are frustrating situations in this environment. Generational, market & cultural changes are disrupting our fabrication floors in completely different ways than ever before. In the US alone, there is projected to be 336,000 open welder positions by 2026. How do you avoid being swept up in the chaos all of this is causing?
With real world case studies, we will discuss how people-centric technologies for material handling, press tending, maintenance & welding are improving outcomes for business leaders & frontline workers alike. We will talk about how people-centric technologies are: augmenting the existing workforce, raising productivity, creating product consistency, and helping employers retain happier & healthier workers. We will also share how others are overcoming technology biases in the workforce, how to get your frontline workers to buying and we will close with a straight-forward action plan to get started.
