Human augmentation technologies are becoming key enablers to connecting people and machines in a Manufacturing Environment. They provide immersive and real time experiences to support, train and optimise tasks and training. The deployment of technologies such as Wearables, Data Visualisation and Cobotics can therefore bring major benefits on the shop floor. This may seem like a daunting task, however embracing change, and communicating the benefits, will allow a manufacturing community to overcome the cultural barriers associated with deployment and lead to successful deployment which is a hugely exciting challenge.
