There is a shortage of operators with the required craftsmanship:
Operators need to be trained correctly with minimal effort of experienced colleagues.
Flexibility in demand results in lower experience and skill:
Operators need sufficient insights in their craftsmanship to gain flexibility.
Output quality and speed is limited due to inexperience of operators:
Operators need to be trained faster with an acceleration of the learning curve.
Project goal
Efficient training in certain skills for novice operators can be time consuming. This project aims to (further) develop and implement an interactive training tool to achieve faster learning curves and provide insight in skills for novice operators.
By implementing models of specific skills of experts, procedural and conceptual knowledge can be embedded in an interactive craftsmanship training tool. This information can originate from various sources within a company such as articles, instruction manuals, videos, etc. A new operator can use this tool to interactively learn skills by asking questions to the model and get feedback based on the trained data provided. This allows a new operator to have a custom learning experience.
An extension to this is envisioned so that self assessment and self evaluation of the task can be embedded in the training tool. The goal is to bring this technology to the companies so that they can train new operators faster while guaranteeing that they can quickly obtain insight in the process which can be (but is not limited to) skills needed for production, (dis)assembly and maintenance. This approach allows the novice to be trained at his/her own pace with limited need of a trainer or experienced colleague to oversee the learning process, making the training process more efficient.
