Tanya Wade, Textile Resource Lab and THREAD-X Project Manager, Manufacturing Solutions Center (MSC)

Across the US, industries are navigating a massive knowledge transfer gap, where institutional expertise is leaving faster than it can be passed on or replaced. And attracting younger generations to the textile industry remains difficult. The Manufacturing Solutions Center, in partnership with Analog, has developed an AI Cloud and Augmented Reality (AR) training platform known as THREAD-X, which can help with both of these issues. THREAD-X leverages technology to accelerate workforce training in the onboarding and skill development stages, as well as rapid troubleshooting on equipment. And it engages younger recruits with tech-driven, exciting workflows that keeps them interested. Join Tanya Wade during this session to learn more about how you can utilize technology like THREAD-X to retain, expand and transfer knowledge in workforce training.
