AVEVA announced that it has partnered with Axonify, a B2B SaaS company in the microlearning space, to offer adaptive AI- microlearning powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) as part of AVEVA Unified Learning.
This partnership with Axonify helps to enable AVEVA to deliver microlearning solutions for industrial operations staff. This is part of a framework designed to help companies build competence, improve worker performance and drive behavioral change. The training program is designed to help drive measurable outcomes for organizational competency needs, all enabled by three key aspects:
- A single integrated platform from one vendor encompassing simulation for training with extended reality capabilities, and tools for designing learning and development programs.
- Flexible deployment enabling customers to choose cloud, hybrid, or on-premises implementation.
- Harnessing of AI to fill knowledge gaps with personalized training.
Through industry analysis and at the ARC Advisory Group Industry Forum in February 2020, AVEVA conducted research with clients, competitors and analysts. This research further highlighted that its partnership with Axonify is novel and a key differentiator for AVEVA Unified Learning in industrial operations and manufacturing space, enabling digital transformation and organizational change by helping to improve retention by an estimated 90 percent, engagement by an estimated 80 percent, while measuring the business impact of training compared against KPIs.
AVEVA Unified Learning combines some of the technologies that enable digital transformation with instructional design to deliver competency-based experiential learning so that operators can increase their performance in less time. This can be deployed on premise, on the AVEVA Cloud, or as a hybrid cloud solution for an enterprise-wide, multi-site training solution. This partnership delivers microlearning in concert with simulation, XR, and other tools as part of one integrated framework.
Craig Resnick, ARC Advisory Group, commented, “The whole process of learning in the industrial environment is going through disruptive change, with tools, such as AI, AR, and VR, playing a key role for a workforce that is both going through a generational transition as well as becoming location independent. The partnership between Axonify and AVEVA will not only help to bring these critical training technologies to AVEVA customers, it will also help customers adapt to the new normal caused by disruptions to businesses, like the COVID-19 pandemic, where remote training goes hand in hand with the remote workforce, who may not have had the benefit of legacy experience of the factory floor and needs being able to remotely monitor, operate and control industrial processes.”
