In our current crisis, this need is amplified, and the capturing of knowledge about frontline worker processes in such a way that makes it easier for untrained or under-trained workers to accurately perform complex tasks is of massive importance to our customers. With Manifest, experts can very easily and intuitively author step-by-step processes, in effect capturing their knowledge for use in any operational or training capacity in their facility, or any other similarly equipped facility around the world. Manifest allows a high level of fidelity and ease of connection with experts who are not on site via Manifest Connect. Manifest combines expert authored step-processes with real-time sensor data and remote communication to fully digitally transform the way that frontline workers perform their jobs and engage with their subject matter, enabling greater proficiency and safety.” “During this pandemic, global transportation systems for goods have become more important than ever. People staying at home has created more parcel traffic, even for goods with food cooling requirements. Millions of expensive Covid-19 test products are being shipped all over the world, which also have strict requirements with respect to cooling conditions. However, the reliability of logistics chains is strongly affected by local lockdowns and unforeseeable delays that might cause damage to the products. This has led to a completely new meaning for internet of things-based logistics tracking products. For example, transport data loggers must offer end-to-end data recording as well as logistics tracking devices which use satellite navigation and mobile data networks to enable 24/7 tracking of shipments. In the post-Covid-19 world, the use of transport data loggers and tracking devices will continue to be essential. They will allow more innovative supply chain management and improved efficiency for on-site installation teams as they can know when equipment will be delivered.” “At BNBuilders we are leveraging Nintex Workflow Cloud for rapid prototyping and development which has enabled our IT infrastructure to pivot in real time to support the ongoing business challenges of operating throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Early in the pandemic we used Nintex Workflow Cloud to implement a daily check-in form for all our job sites and locations to monitor and respond to any potential virus exposure. We continue to use and expand on the Nintex solution we implemented months ago, and plan to use it for the foreseeable future to ensure safety and compliance. We’re also kicking off a new initiative leveraging Nintex Forms to vastly minimise the amount of paper generated on our job sites. The flexibility of Nintex Workflow Cloud continues to grow which allows us to quickly respond to changes and new business needs.” Klaus Peter Wagner Head of sales and marketing at Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions Dirck Schou CEO of Taqtile F E ATUR E
