About the webinar

This webinar is hosted by Munich Consulting Group. Workerbase is participating as a guest co-presenter.

Downtime, unclear causes, fragmented knowledge, and patchy documentation are still everyday realities in many production settings. At the same time, pressure is rising to respond faster, document issues properly, and support people on the shop floor effectively.

Our approach

In this webinar we use a typical shop floor scenario to show how AI can be applied concretely in production. The focus is not on technology for its own sake, but on how relevant data, documentation, and workflows can be brought together so that faster, better day-to-day decisions become possible.

Following a concrete path from a machine alarm through AI-assisted root-cause analysis to structured documentation, you will see where the practical value lies and what needs to be in place to achieve it.

We look not only at the technical solution, but also at two critical success factors: data quality and acceptance on the shop floor. Effective AI is not just a model— it comes from sensible use in real production operations.

What to expect

You will get:

  • Context for typical shop floor challenges, from breakdowns to lack of transparency
  • A concrete use case around machine alarms, troubleshooting, and documentation
  • Insight into how AI, system data, and existing documentation work together
  • Why data quality is essential for reliable results
  • Orientation on what is possible for response time, knowledge retention, and reducing downtime
  • A practical view of how to involve your people in rolling out new solutions

This webinar is especially relevant for:

  • Production leads and plant management
  • Industrial engineering
  • Operational excellence and lean
  • Digital manufacturing and smart factory
