Abstract

New technologies and the emphasis on digitalization in industrial companies lead to major changes in production environments. A significant reorganization of production processes is one of the results. This takes place in different production areas and transforms companies into so-called Smart Factories. One of the most important questions in this context is how this transformation affects the involved employees in production and how they have to adapt to their new working environment. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the consequences for human workers and to raise awareness within the involved companies so that they can manage these changes successfully. To measure and evaluate the consequences, a way to describe human work and capabilities in different scenarios has to be developed. Such capability-based descriptions have yet only been used for elements of production systems, for example assembly systems. In this paper, we propose a new model to characterize the capabilities of a human worker based on these approaches.
