Factory Design

Voice of Workers

Human tacit knowledge and worker experience as a source of AI-native manufacturing design, robotic learning, and human-centered automation.

Human knowledge in factory design

Workers and engineers often possess implicit knowledge about work difficulty, process risk, ergonomic constraints, and exception handling that is not captured in CAD, PLC, or MES data.

Capturing tacit knowledge

Voice, text, demonstrations, annotations, and operation logs can be used to capture tacit knowledge and translate it into design constraints or learning signals.

Human-centered AI-native manufacturing

The research connects worker knowledge to simulation, robotic learning, and factory design so that AI-native systems remain grounded in practical shop-floor expertise.
