COALA Webinar 3 - Textile Production Use Case: Welcome & Agenda

The COALA 3rd Webinar presents some examples of the application of Digital Intelligent Assistants in the textile industry use case. COALA partner, Dr. Massimo Angelo Curti, Lecturer of Città Studi Biella based in Italy, shared with us their hands-on experiences during the implementation and first testing of the COALA Digital Intelligent Assistant for the on-the-job training of warping and weaving operators. Citta Studi is an educational organization in Biella, that supports textile industries, e.g. Piacenza , one of COALA use case partners, in the training of their new workers. Here students can learn how to work on a specific machine, to understand how the machine works and what are the possible problems that can occur during work.

Besides that, our partner from TUD, Chaofan Wang, also presents a demo on application of the COALA Digital Intelligent Assistant functions connect with the cognitive advisor service. The on-the-job training assistant helps operators by providing suggestions on relevant learning nuggets and answering frequently asked questions. For example, if a loom operator needs specific instructions, they can ask COALA assistant directly.
