Particularly with variant-rich production, companies are increasingly faced with the task of how to quickly train their employees in the respective assembly activities and support them during their work. This is where digital worker assistance systems can provide valuable help.

Due to the great demand from customers, we have developed our own solution for this: MiniTec SmartAssist. In line with the MiniTec motto "The Art of Simplicity", the focus was on making handling and operation as simple as possible. We benefited from our many years of experience in workplace design, but also from the expertise of MiniTec Smart Solutions in the field of Industry 4.0.

MiniTec SmartAssist guides the worker step by step through the assembly process by displaying the required activities on the screen with the help of texts, graphics, photos or videos. There are various options for process support and interaction, because the system is modular and allows the control of a wide variety of hardware components - for example Pick To Light light strips, touch monitors, intervention sensors, scales and much more.

The central component of the MiniTec assistance system is the intuitive MiniTec SmartEdi editor, which allows customers to easily design and store the processes for assembling new products themselves. This means more flexibility and independence. The system requires no programming knowledge and is virtually self-explanatory.
