Customer case
Everyone’s talking about Industry 4.0 today. Let’s talk about People 4.0.
Everything is becoming more digital, changing faster and becoming more complex. Companies that operate worldwide face additional challenges: how do you exchange this knowledge across country and language borders? These are also the challenges BekaertDeslee faced. Along with the technology, the operator training had to evolve: more digital, flexible and accessible. They accomplished this with Manual.to.
