Empowerment use case: Enhancing worker capabilities through technology

⚡The challenge

In today’s manufacturing landscape, while technology adoption is displacing some traditional roles, it’s also creating new opportunities. The key challenge is ensuring this transition benefits all workers – including those with disabilities, older workers, and those with limited qualifications – while maintaining safety and human-centric values.

🎯What we’re addressing

o Machinery repair and equipment installation sectors.
o Assembly, maintenance, warehouse, logistics and ICT operations.

Implementation of:

→ AR/VR, AI sensors

→ AI sensors

→ Predictive maintenance

→ Automated processes

⚠️Current Gaps

o Limited access to technical training programs
o Insufficient technological solutions
o Lack of proven collaborative workplace designs
o Missing policy frameworks for inclusivity

💡The Solution

1️⃣ Creating accessible, specialized training programs that focus on emerging qualifications
2️⃣ Building technical competency awareness in education
3️⃣ Developing policy recommendations at national and EU levels to support inclusive learning environments

By bridging these gaps, we’re working to create an empowered workforce where technology augments human capabilities rather than replacing them.
