Agenda

Description

There is growing concern that new technologies such as AI and ML could cause an avalanche of job losses across industries and replace the worker completely - but is this entirely accurate? Let us show you how you can adapt your business to work alongside new technology by transforming media panic into sensible preparations for AR in the workforce. Our experience shows that AR will undoubtedly change the workplace, but rather than a rise of the machines, our customers are experiencing significant job growth rather than job losses.

This talk will shine the light on how AR enriches, rather than replaces, the workforce to enhance and create jobs. It is common fact that, AR empowers people to perform tasks more efficiently, quicker and with less errors. In times where skilled workers for offshore or repeatable tasks are rare, AR also enables enterprises to reskill and upskill new and existing employees, enabling them to perform tasks outside their area of expertise in an enjoyable and user-friendly way.

Description

Over the next decade, 10 million manufacturing jobs will likely be needed, yet millions are expected to go unfilled, according to a report from Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute. An exodus of retiring workers, combined with increasing product complexity and customer demand, requires manufactures to take new approaches for delivering relevant information to front-line workers.

Augmented reality delivers transformative value by facilitating and improving training, knowledge transfer and the communication of critical information from retiring experts to the new and existing workforce.

Please join JJ Lechleiter, VP of Product Management at PTC to discover how you can accelerate time-to-value for augmented reality in your business, alleviate the skills gap crisis and empower your workforce with the critical information they need to:

· Increase productivity

· Reduce scrap & rework

· Elevate service quality

· Improve safety & compliance.

The future of factory floor and field service workforce communication will increasingly rely on augmented reality as an efficient, flexible workforce multiplier.

Description

While there are numerous case studies covering the quantitative benefits of enterprise augmented reality (AR), an important qualitative benefit has emerged. Businesses spanning multiple industries across the globe have seen a fundamental behavioral change in how people train, work, collaborate, and plan. These changes go beyond the simple productivity, quality, and safety gains traditionally touted with AR, and can have an even more transformative effect in the long term. Attend this session and learn how businesses are capitalizing on this to drive re-invention of conventional business models, operational management, and resource utilization, as well as unlocking higher-value jobs for the hands-on workforce through an AR-led digital workforce transformation.

Deskless workers have been receiving quite some attention as of late, and rightly so. 80% of the workforce is deskless, but until now they’ve been largely missing from the digital transformation strategy. Desk workers use CRM packages and ERP systems. Deskless workers have pen and paper. Technology is bringing the deskless workforce on the verge of a new era: connected workers, empowered by mobile and wearable technology.
•The needs of the deskless workforce in industry?
•Smart eyewear for smart workers?
•Software to inform, to guide, to assist?
•The business value? Augmented or Fake Reality?

Description

The launch of a new XR platform often creates a great deal of excitement among institutional users and developers alike. After all, products such as Oculus, HoloLens and Magic Leap help us significantly improve the way we tell stories, train employees and address persistent maintenance challenges.

However, for developers, each product launch presents its own unique challenges. The team has to familiarize itself with a new SDK, a new device and often a completely different way of structuring content. In this session, Rodrick Lekey and
Hans Wernke, of Inhance Digital, an LA-based interactive marketing agency with 21+ years of experience, will share the first-hand perspective of such a team of developers. What did we learn? What challenges did we experience? What would we do differently the next time around?
