Both enablers have been integrated and recently tested in the textile production use case.<br><br>A short introduction of each of these enablers is presented with an explanatory video to give you a quick overview on their potential implementation in an industrial use case.&nbsp; Our end-users, who lead the textile use case, share their feedbacks on the recent first testing of the on-the-job training assistant and their experiences using the developed learning nuggets.&nbsp;<br><br>Related to activities involving COALA community, our partners have been actively participating and organising different events from webinar series, podcasts, joint online workshops with the ICT-38 sister projects, to a live demonstration of the COALA solution at the IoT conference 2022.<br><br>Last but not least, some new scientific publications have been presented at different conferences.

For this, we have developed a <strong>process-oriented<\/strong> <strong>didactic concept <\/strong>for training and further education for factory workers through using a voice-based COALA Digital Intelligent Assistant.<br><br>The didactic concept aims to help workers building their competencies in human-AI collaboration and to strengthen their control and responsibility during the use of the COALA solution. Media materials, exercises, and competencies tests are offered in a form of micro learning units, so called learning nuggets, to train factory workers and evaluate their learning progress.<br><br>Besides that, multi-dimensional learning paths are designed to help workers finding the correct learning content they need while searching for the answers to their current questions.

The goal is to reduce the time it takes to train a new operator by 50% and support the transfer of (tacit) knowledge.&nbsp;A custom dialog model and the cognitive advisor service allows identification of the worker\u2019s current skill level, and advice how to prepare and operate a machine. Moreover, the on-the-job training assistant can adapt the advising behaviour with progressing skill increases and under consideration of human feedback about the learning experience, for instance it will be more instructional in the early phase and more supervising in later phases.<br><br>The on-the-job training assistant can help operators, for example by suggesting relevant learning nuggets and answering frequently asked questions. If a loom operator needs specific instructions, they can ask COALA directly. The assistant can suggest them a learning nugget on a specific topic.<br><br>It can also teach operators to troubleshoot the machine in an efficient way and guide them step-by-step through the troubleshooting process, while offering learning materials from the learning nuggets. The following video shows a short demo on how the COALA Assistant helps operators during on-the-job training by suggesting relevant learning nuggets.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"col-gma10f65\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m4-col col-gma10f65 gutentor-single-column  grid-lg-2 grid-md-12 grid-12\"><div id=\"section-gma10f65\" class=\"section-gma10f65 gutentor-col-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p_VFb4349Lg\" title=\"COALA On-the-job Training Assistant for Textile Workers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p_VFb4349Lg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Together with COALA Partner from ITB, Citt\u00e0 Studi has implemented a new training plan for warping and weaving operators integrating the didactic concept developed in the COALA Project.<br><br>The main targets of this use case are to improve performance in the following activities: <br><br>&#8211; Faster training for students, as future workers, and for existing workers<br>&#8211; Reduction of errors or defects<br>&#8211; Faster restart after a defect<br>&#8211; Faster change-over from one product to a new one for a skilled operator<br>&#8211; Increase safety<br><br>Up to this point, the following features of COALA on-the-job training assistant have been implemented and tested with students and lecturers from Citt\u00e0 Studi as well as supervisors and technicians in the weaving department of Piacenza:<br><br>&#8211; Frequently Asked Questions<br>&#8211; Loom troubleshooting support<br>&#8211; Recommend learning nuggets<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"col-gm45e3af\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m4-col col-gm45e3af gutentor-single-column  grid-lg-7 grid-md-12 grid-12\"><div id=\"section-gm45e3af\" class=\"section-gm45e3af gutentor-col-wrap\">\n<div id=\"section-g33b28e\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g33b28e gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\"><em><strong>What are the lessons learned we may take from the first evaluation?<\/strong><\/em><br><br>The didactic concept including the first learning nuggets have been evaluated with some students and technicians in the weaving department. The feedbacks on the structure of the initial learning nuggets are positive and well appreciated. A further learning nuggets dedicated to specific production processes will be developed and tested in the next year.<br><br>Besides that, user experience with the first prototype of the COALA on-the-job training assistant was also evaluated. Some received feedbacks include improvements and considerations on the following aspects such as single user log-in, speech to text function in local language and recording of the tests, as well as a provision of a user guidelines. These features and procedures will be integrated in the next evaluation planned in the beginning of next year. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><em><strong>What are the next steps in the textile use case?<\/strong><\/em><br><br>Besides the planned further evaluation on the first pilot use case mentioned above, our focus for next year is to finalise integration of&nbsp; Piacenza production interface with COALA system to allow production of recommendations based on live machine and production data of Piacenza.<br><br>We expects that the COALA solution will allow machine operators to request advices, explanations, and other information via the digital assistant running on a mobile device and that this training support will reduce defects created during the manufacturing process due to human errors.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">COMMUNITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Join our community!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"gm879bc6e\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m4 section-gm879bc6e gutentor-module gutentor-advanced-columns\"><div class=\"grid-container\"><div class=\"grid-row\">\n<div id=\"col-gmf8106a\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m4-col col-gmf8106a gutentor-single-column  grid-lg-1 grid-md-12 grid-12\"><div id=\"section-gmf8106a\" class=\"section-gmf8106a gutentor-col-wrap\">\n<div id=\"section-g7613a2\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g7613a2 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">COALA aims to actively contribute to the EU AI communities and help build a connected AI community across Europe.
