Implementation of Professional Development Training for Industrial Employees on Artificial Intelligence of Things

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is the most emerging era of a combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), which is exponentially gaining researchers' attention with every passing day because of its broad applicability in various sectors. Technology 4.0 in the industry focuses on effective object sorting of conveyors and energy saving. There is an increase in the need for industrial employee training. However, the new technology of conveyor systems to enhance performance has yet to be widespread. However, the new technology of conveyor systems to enhance performance has yet to be widespread. Owing to the learning material for training is expensive. It is also not possible to simulate the operation of a comprehensive system. Industrial employees need to understand the big picture, causing problems in learning and lacking practical skills. Especially new industrial employees may need more knowledge and experience when operating errors; they can have problem-solving skills to seek solutions. Therefore, we proposed the implementation of an object-sorting training kit based on AIoT technology. In the experiment, nineteen industrial employees from many industrial enterprises participated in three days of training activities. The results show increased employee performance with an AIoT training kit that can simulate object sorting with color and size and then offer a dashboard. They can understand how to save energy in manufacturing. Mainly, they have practical skills and positive perceptions toward this study.
