Take it to the next level
  • First and foremost, CS2 focuses on the workers to ensure great, easy user experiences when developing the daily digital tasks and workflows for operator and maintenance rounds and equipment inspections. The goal is to have much success with the implementation of new technology such that the workers prefer to use because it makes their jobs easier and safer.
  • It is estimated that 40% of the industrial workforce will be retiring in the next 10 years.  With retirements, much expertise and institutional knowledge will walk out the door.  CS2 enables solutions to capture that institutional knowledge through photos, videos and workflows, which can then be used to train the next generation of plant workers using modern formats for learning with which they learn best.
  • Companies are being forced to do more with less labor and enhanced safety. CS2’s solutions include hands-free, voice-controlled head mounted tablets that provide real-time access to digital workflows, SOPs, drawings, photos, videos, thermal camera, and connectivity with team members and managers for workers in the plants and field. The work can be completed faster, safer, and more accurately to lower headcount, risks, and insurance premiums to yield a significant ROI.
  • Another typical use case is video collaboration, where a worker new to a task or procedure can be coached in real-time by an expert without requiring the expert to be on-site.  The travel and time savings associated with extending the reach of your experts for the workers in the plants and field provide a solid ROI
  • Finally, CS2 offers free demo loaner devices and complimentary trials that include CS2’s expert assistance for testing and the capture of the workers’ input, suggestions, and likes/dislikes to ensure successful implementations.
CS2 Inc - Connected Worker

What is a CONNECTED WORKER?

The connected worker is a worker who is “connected” to workflows, drawings, and manuals needed to do their jobs via hand-held tablets or head-mounted, voice-enabled mobile tablets. The connected worker has user-friendly, easy workflows without the old paperwork to capture more and new types of data for improved HSE, production, operations, and maintenance.

The connected worker is connected to teams, supervisors, and experts through mission critical mobile devices. For field workers, mobile connectivity provides necessary communication to mitigate issues and improve worker safety. In addition, the connected worker allows managers and executives access to plant and field data in real-time.

Through connected collaboration, a remote expert can see what the connected worker sees in real-time and guide the connected worker through tasks and decisions. Similarly, a worker can remotely connect to troubleshoot issues promptly and more cost effectively than site visits.

Connected worker solutions are instrumental in training new employees and training experienced workers to do new jobs. These solutions can serve as an institutional memory for a company, capturing and maintaining experienced worker knowledge.
