Abstract

In today's industrial landscape, production challenges arise from increasing demand for personalized products and demographic changes. Production facilities and employees must be agile and adaptable to changing requirements, while limited automation in multi-variant production elevates the importance of human workers. Cognitive assistance systems, such as digital instructions and pick-by-light systems, can enhance efficiency and reduce errors but should be customized to worker competence levels. This article presents a method for assessing worker competence and individual support using cognitive assistance systems in manual assembly, with an example from Fraunhofer IGCV's "Learning factory for cyber-physical production systems" in Augsburg.
