On February 6, 2020 we issued a press release highlighting our progress on Frontline Workforce enablement. We started this initiative in January 2019--so it's been a full year of recognizing the needs of those task workers that require a paperless workday to complete their jobs, whether it's executing a quality test, checking the status of equipment on the line, or conducting necessary procedures such as shift changeovers, schedule changes or clean in place processes.
Perhaps it's not that these outdated IT systems are killing your business, as much as they are hampering your ability to take advantage of new technologies, new ways of doing business, and new methods of collaboration between your employees.
On day one, Lew Roth and I, along with Chris Carlins from AutomaTech, hosted a three-hour Webalo training session with GE customers and partners. The room was full and everyone was very enthusiastic to learn more about Webalo, with hands-on exercises including configurations and the deployment of apps to their devices!
On day two we announced our partnership with GE at the European Minds + Machines conference in Berlin and, in parallel, at ThinkBIG Lew joined Gytis Barzdukas on stage during his keynote. Gytis featured Webalo during the presentation, talked about us as a leader in the GE ecosystem and then invited Lew to discuss how we are integrating Webalo with Predix and other GE products. As the User Experience Platform for the Industrial Internet, we automatically generate mobile and desktop apps directly from Predix service endpoints, other GE Digital products and from enterprise software such as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce.com, ServiceNow and even in-house custom applications.
Over the course of the event, we held many discussions with GE customers and partners, demonstrating our variety of different data connectors which enable us to easily provide actionable, dynamic, persona-based user experiences, that adapt to user requirements in real-time.
We left the conference very contented – new, exciting relationships, salt air in our lungs and sand on our toes!
