Manufacturing employees are at odds with automation right now. There’s a shortage of skills, a sizable gap in learning & development, and machines are slowly absorbing jobs across the industry.

Or so we thought—as it turns out, studies show that there’s an abundance of jobs in the industry right now, but a severe talent shortage is leaving them vacant. 

The end-all solution is not to replace employees with automation—instead, manufacturers can maximize output with cohesive collaboration between humans and machines.

Before introducing a human-machine hybrid model, manufacturers need to expand employee skill sets, and fast. How? With immersive education—enter, XR.

XR is changing the way the industry approaches education across the board. Coupled with 5G, this technology allows for immersive learning, increased accessibility, and rapid expansion of employee skill sets.

In this discussion, we’ll hear how XR will shape modern manufacturing, and how this technology will enhance education across the industry.
