What are digital assistance systems?

Digital assistance systems support employees in perception, decision-making or the execution of activities.

According to the Federal Ministry of Education and Research ("TransWork" project), digital assistance systems are computer-based systems that help people with their actions.

If a digital assistance system supports the perception (recording of information) or decision-making (processing of information), this is referred to as cognitive assistance. If it supports the execution of activities, it is called physical assistance.

Why Company digital assistance systems need

Companies have to meet the challenges of high flexibility, speed and growing cost pressure in order to remain competitive both nationally and internationally. Digital assistance systems can help with the following problems:
Increasing complexity due to diversity of variants and technology
Constantly changing work requirements
High quality requirements
Employee turnover
Skills shortage
This is how it works

Technologies to support of the People

There is a wide range of technologies from robotic assistance systems that physically relieve employees to smart devices that provide employees with relevant information. These solutions can be integrated by the way information is transferred between people and technology:

Type Of Information output:

Visual
Text content, image, video and animations
Acoustic
Voice output, information and warning tones
Haptic
Vibration

Type Of Information output:

Manual
Operating elements, force influence
Gesticular
Optical, metrological gesture recognition
Positional
Tracking systems
This is how it works

What focuses on Leanbyte?

Leanbyte focuses on cognitive assistance and is designed to support people's ability to absorb and process information. Leanbyte is a mobile, digital assistance system and works with visual, acoustic and haptic elements when outputting information. For input, it uses standardised, automatically recognising and manual elements.
