SmartLogger Voice for work analysis and technical knowledge transfer
AGC reduced work-analysis time to 1/10 or less using recorded explanations and generative AI
Problem
Work analysis relied on stopwatches and video recordings. Experienced workers' explanations and judgment were often left undocumented.
Approach
AGC and CEC jointly developed SmartLogger Voice to collect spoken work records. AGC combined transcription with generative AI to organize and analyze those records. It also used recorded expert explanations to prepare knowledge-transfer materials.
Results
Takeaway
Recording explanations during work provided material for both process analysis and technical training.
