Who EMPOWR is Designed For
EMPOWR is designed to support workers who perform complex, repetitive, safety-critical or cognitively demanding tasks. The project aims to provide clearer guidance, reduce strain, support upskilling and increase trust in digital tools.
Industrial organisations can use EMPOWR results to explore safer human-machine collaboration, lower defect rates, reduced downtime, improved process quality and more attractive industrial workplaces.
SMEs and clusters can benefit from modular, transferable approaches to human-centric augmentation, training and Industry 5.0 readiness.
Technology developers can build on EMPOWR evidence, requirements, user insights and interoperability approaches to design more usable and trustworthy industrial solutions.
Training actors can use EMPOWR curricula, scenarios and competency frameworks to support workers in the transition towards AI-supported manufacturing environments.
EMPOWR will provide evidence and policy input on human-centric AI, AR, Digital Twin validation, worker rights, ergonomics, safety-by-design and Industry 5.0 transition pathways.
Researchers and SSH experts can use project outputs on human-machine interaction, cognitive load, adoption, trust, ethics and organisational transformation.
Labour organisations and social stakeholders can engage with EMPOWR outputs to ensure that advanced manufacturing innovation protects dignity, inclusion and human oversight.
