⏳ In the Morning, (shortly after) half past nine in Germany
While many people are happily biting into their pastries, a quiet #turningpoint is approaching in many production facilities:
Experienced #skilledworkers are retiring—and with them, decades of often undocumented knowledge.
🔍 Example:
The soon-to-be retiree knows: “A targeted, careful tap with a rubber mallet on the upper right corner always helps when the snapper mechanism gets stuck.”
What is routine for him becomes a challenge for his successor—because solutions like this are not found in any manual.
📉 The consequences:
Manual processes come to a standstill, error rates rise, and training becomes detective work...
📈 #Automation can be used here in a targeted manner:
--> Secure and standardize knowledge
--> Replace error-prone manual tasks with technology
--> Make processes more robust and traceable
--> Automate the design of products
💡 An unavoidable item on your to-do list:
Ask yourself: Which processes still depend on the experience and knowledge of individuals?
The answer is often sobering—but it also presents an opportunity:
Those who automate today will secure their competitiveness tomorrow.
