Smarter shop floor: practical digital tools for operators
Practical digital solutions for everyday production challenges
How can you help operators work more efficiently, overcome language barriers, and learn new tasks faster?
Through the Interreg project SKILLS4.0, Sirris is joining forces with the Interreg project TechBridge. Both projects combine their expertise in innovation, digitalisation, and assistive technology to introduce companies to practical digital solutions for the shop floor.
From clear, accessible work instructions to multilingual communication and interactive training, digital tools can make a real difference in supporting employees in their daily work.
During this hands-on workshop at Sirris in Kortrijk, you will discover these technologies through live demonstrations and interactive sessions featuring the mobile Sirris demonstrator.
See how digital solutions work, try out different applications yourself, and discover how they can support your employees and improve your production processes.
