Webalo recognized in three Gartner Hype Cycle reports

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2024 / Webalo, the connected worker platform for the frontline workforce, proudly announces its recognition in the Connected Factory Worker category in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Manufacturing Operations Strategy, Gartner Hype Cycle for Frontline Worker Technologies, and Gartner Hype Cycle for Private Mobile Network Services, 2024 reports.

According to Gartner user recommendations, “Focus on creating a data-driven culture in manufacturing operations by fostering creativity and ingenuity.” And, according to Gartner’s Connected Factory Worker barriers, “Initial benefits are seen as transformational but incomplete. Not addressing the ‘what’s in it for me?’ question and change management, and not involving workers in the solution design and implementation process helps drive demand and adoption.”

Additionally, Gartner also recommends “focusing on architecture over applications. This will limit point solutions and the complexity of managing multiple vendors. Focus on extracting data from other transactional systems such as MES as a way to connect production data to employee-led improvement opportunities.”

The Webalo platform addresses all of these critical points:

• Employee engagement and rapid deployment:Webalo platform delivers simple, AI-driven application generation for connected workers, directly involving the workforce in the solution design and implementation process, and driving demand and adoption

• Integrated platform:Webalo integrates seamlessly with enterprise and industry systems, providing a “one-stop shop” for the workforce and eliminating the complexity of managing point solutions from multiple vendors

• Workforce Information Center:Webalo creates a new high-value data asset by combining operational process data and workforce utilization data, with real-time integration to IT and OT systems

As Gartner notes, “Connected workers leverage digital tools and data management techniques to enhance and integrate their interactions with physical and virtual environments. This improves decision accuracy, multiplies insights and reduces variability.”

“Webalo is committed to executing on the core value propositions for a successful connected work strategy,” said Peter Price, CEO of Webalo. “Our AI-powered platform brings together people, processes and systems in real time and revolutionizes the adoption, deployment and operation of connected work applications to reduce downtime, increase operational excellence and improve outcomes, while driving engagement to increase employee motivation and retention.”
