Framework of Future Industrial Worker Characteristics

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference article in proceedingsScientificpeer-review

Abstract

The ways of working are changing in the manufacturing industry due to new technologies and the merging of physical and virtual environments (e.g., Industry 4.0, Metaverse). The goal of this study was to increase understanding of the transformation of industrial work and to identify what kind of capabilities and skills industrial workers will need in the future. Based on a literature review and the results of expert interviews, a framework of Future Industrial Worker Characteristics (FIW) was created. To conduct the first experiment to apply the FIW framework, 19 novel technology solutions that are being developed in a European research project to support modern industrial work were mapped using the characteristics of the framework. The FIW framework can be used by designers and industrial companies to guide the design of novel technology solutions to support the characteristics of future industrial work.
