In today's fast-paced business landscape, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face a growing challenge: harnessing the power of cutting-edge software tools while ensuring their workforce can navigate them effectively.
WASABI focuses on digital intelligent assistance solutions, based on human-AI collaboration, and applied to the manufacturing domain. The WASABI solution increases the cognitive abilities of workers and accelerates the acquisition and transfer of knowledge, through Natural Language Processing (NLP) system, for the upskilling of the existing workforce, meantime securing job positions
WASABI challenge is related to SMEs and mid-caps manufacturers in Europe that need to meet sustainability goals. Producing components for complex products, or often operating in emerging specialty equipment markets, they must be quite careful about spending their resources on activities with uncertain costs or outcomes.
WASABI provides SMEs with the tools and knowledge to improve workers capacities and performance, with advanced user interfaces for continuous augmented hybrid-decision-making. Such interfaces assist employees in interacting with complex software, effectively reducing its skill floor. In consequence, humans will find using software easier and be more open to applying it effectively at work. WASABI’s advanced interfaces covers, for instance, situation analysis, intervention identification, action planning and execution, and impact monitoring and mitigation.
The project makes digital intelligence assistance and conversational artificial intelligence solutions become standard practices, accessible, affordable, and manageable even for small companies. WASABI allows European SMEs to achieve sustainability principles and technological and operational innovation capacity, such as to become renewed and cutting-edge, and reach leadership goals and market competitiveness.
