In industrial production,
demographic change has long become a reality – and the resulting
loss of knowledge is turning into
a ticking time bomb. Particularly critical are processes such as data acquisition, maintenance, or quality assurance, which often still rely on manual work and the experience of individual employees. But what happens when this knowledge suddenly disappears?
The challenge is clear:
- Experienced employees are retiring – and taking decades of know-how with them.
- New colleagues often receive insufficient onboarding because there’s simply not enough time.
- Critical processes still take place “in employees’ heads” – instead of being standardized and documented.
The question is: How can it be ensured that
processes such as
data acquisition,
maintenance, quality assurance, or the production process itself operate reliably, efficiently, and independently of individual experience?
Digital support instead of loss of experience
This is where
Cosmino Panteo comes in:
The acquisition dialogs guide production employees step by step through all relevant tasks – from assembly instructions and quality inspections to maintenance activities and data acquisition.
The modern,
task-based acquisition dialog functions like a digital assistant. It automatically notifies users when a
task needs to be done and provides precise guidance on
how to perform it correctly.
- Standardized processes: All instructions are based on master data (inspection plans, data acquisition specifications, maintenance intervals) and are therefore consistent and scalable.
- Knowledge retention: Experienced employees can embed their expertise directly into digital workflows – preserving it permanently for the company.
- Context-sensitive guidance: Instructions, warnings, or documents are displayed exactly when needed – directly within the data acquisition dialog.
Your benefits with Cosmino Panteo
- Greater efficiency: Tasks are completed on time and in full.
- Higher quality: Quality and process standards are automatically monitored.
- Faster onboarding: New employees become productive immediately with clear guidance.
- Audit compliance: All inspections and records are fully documented.
