In industrial work environments, DEWIE brings the digital world right to the worker's fingertips, displaying digital documents or files on a large, 30" display. It also enables technicians to capture their expertise via video in a non-obtrusive manner with little impact on the daily workflow.

While a paperless society is not yet a reality, many organizations have migrated to a digital workflow. Often, however, industrial workbenches do not provide adequate support or space to access multiple digital resources, nor do they take full advantage of the digital process.

 

Because of this, Southwest Research Institute developed and built the Digitally Enhanced Workbench for Industrial Environments (DEWIE). DEWIE makes it possible for industrial workplaces to operate as digital offices.

 

Features of DEWIE

Features of DEWIE include:

  • Built-in camera on extendable arm to share or capture video details

  • Integrated test probes and bar code scanners

  • Touch-screen functionality for ease of navigation

  • Finger touch drawing for use with schematics or blueprints

  • Multiple, adjustable monitors to support numerous applications in use

  • Integrated text recognition for ease of form completion

DEWIE turns every workbench into a training classroom and creates an industrial work environment that encourages collaboration and sharing.
