Why people & technology should work together...
Smart factories aren’t just about technology, they’re about people and tech working hand in hand. Success depends on adoption and trust. Even the most advanced tools underperform when people don't use them. Low trust leads to resistance, underuse, and ultimately impacts ROI, quality, and safety.
This free whitepaper, created by Vlerick and delaware, dives into trust in technology across three key stakeholder groups: operators, liaisons, and managers. Based on interviews with 26 stakeholders from three manufacturing companies, it uncovers what drives trust – and what happens when it’s lacking.
...and how you can boost it in your company
Our operator enablement scan gives you a clear and actionable view of how empowered operators drive safer, smarter, and more efficient production. Our experts analyze survey results from operators, team leads, and production managers, and enrich them with insights from floor walk observations and informal conversations during lunches and breaks to capture real-world context. This results in your personal opportunity heatmap and guide.
This thorough scan is offered to attendees of The Future Lab at a discount of 50% or EUR7,500 instead of EUR15,000.
What you'll learn in the free whitepaper:
- Why trust matters and how it’s shaped by factors like system performance, data quality, social ownership, and perceived value
- The impact of trust gaps – for example, managers averaging 91% trust versus operators at just 68%, and what that means for adoption and ROI
- Five actionable strategies for leadership to build trust and accelerate technology adoption
What you'll learn from the operator enablement scan:
- Personal opportunity heatmap showing where capability gaps and improvement potential lie for your company
- Personal opportunity guide with actionable recommendations to strengthen daily work and learning
- Clear action points to boost engagement, safety, and efficiency on your shopfloor
