Enhancing Workplace Safety Through Collaborative Technologies: A Case Study in the Manufacturing Industry

This research investigates the use of collaborative technology in the manufacturing industry to improve worker safety. It looks into how these technologies affect incident prevention, safety communication, and employee engagement. The research used a case study technique to examine the integration of AR headsets and wearable devices with sensors in a manufacturing organization. The findings show that greater situational awareness and real-time visual signals lead to considerable increases in incident prevention. With consolidated platforms, safety communication has been improved, allowing for faster incident reporting and coordination. Employee involvement and empowerment have increased as a result of the implementation of collaborative technology. The report finishes with practical consequences, such as advice for industry practitioners and implementation instructions for collaborative technology. It also identifies future study objectives, such as investigating long-term effects and incorporating new technology.
