Why Workforce Data Must Be Part of Industrial Data Management for Smart Manufacturing

In the race toward smart manufacturing, IT and OT data convergence has become a cornerstone for digital transformation. As industry leaders strive to contextualize industrial data to unlock predictive and prescriptive insights, the foundational work of data management frameworks, such as those detailed by Gartner**, cannot be overstated. These frameworks offer a structured approach to gathering, tagging, and contextualizing machine and process data, creating a data backbone for advanced analytics.

Industrial organizations have invested heavily in automation, analytics, and digital transformation. Yet one of the most critical data streams—the actions and decisions of frontline workers—has remained largely invisible. That changes today.

Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) leaders face the ongoing challenge of balancing compliance, workforce engagement, and operational efficiency. Webalo, the Connected Worker Platform for the Frontline Workforce, empowers organizations to proactively enhance safety, streamline environmental compliance, and drive a culture of continuous improvement.
