THE PROBLEM

What Slow, Subjective Workforce Training Costs Your Line

In the United States, the manufacturing skills gap shows up on the line every day. New operators arrive faster than mentors can train them, and each open seat costs output until employee onboarding is complete.

Onboarding That Waits on Mentors

Employee onboarding depends on whoever can spare a shift to shadow. New hires either wait, or they pick up shortcuts from whoever stands nearby.

Sign-Offs Based on Opinion

A competency assessment often means one supervisor watching once and signing a sheet. Different assessors can reach different verdicts on the same operator.

Skills That Fade Without Notice

An operator certified last year may have drifted since. The first sign is often scrap, long before any training record changes.
The Solution

AI Assembly Operator Training Software for the Plant Floor

NAGARE™, Jidoka's closed-loop process system, runs workforce training at the station for US plants. It turns on-the-job training into a guided, measured process. The system shows each step, watches the work, and scores it against your standard.

Run On-the-Job Training at the Station

  • Moves manufacturing training from the classroom to the workstation
  • Corrects a wrong step the moment it happens
  • Speeds employee onboarding, with no mentor queue
  • Supports new hires on second and third shift, when mentors are scarce

Base AI Skills Assessment on Real Cycles

  • Scores each cycle against your best-practice cycle
  • Builds a scorecard for each operator and each skill
  • Gives every assessor one scoring method
  • Backs every competency assessment with recorded evidence

Keep the Skills Matrix Current After Every Shift

  • Refreshes each operator's skill record after every shift
  • Warns supervisors when a skill starts to slip, well before scrap rises
  • Shows gaps in your cross-training matrix by line and shift
  • Keeps workforce training records tied to observed work

Deployment

Live On Your Line, Not In A Six-Month Pilot

Operator training runs on the cameras you already have at your stations. No pilot line, no new hardware to install. We have mapped this deployment before, which is what makes it fast now.

STEP 01
Line audit and camera mapping

We walk your stations, confirm camera coverage, and scope the skills and steps to assess.

→
STEP 02
Model training on your standard work

The model trains on your actual steps, stations, and best-practice cycles, not a generic action library. Training uses 120 minutes of footage.

→
STEP 03
Go live, verified

Assessment runs alongside your current sign-offs first, then is confirmed accurate before your matrix depends on it. Deployment takes 4 weeks, with ROI payback in 6–12 months.

Workforce Training Questions From US Plant Managers

AI skills assessment scores an operator from the work itself. Cameras watch real cycles and measure accuracy, speed, and step order against the standard you set. Each competency assessment then rests on observed performance.

An LMS records completed courses, and skills management software or training matrix software records sign-offs. As AI assembly operator training software, NAGARE™ records how the work was actually done and feeds that evidence into your workforce training records.

Yes, for any task a camera can see at a workstation, from assembly steps to loading a machine. Forklift and heavy-equipment certification still needs its own course.

Yes. Training Within Industry, the job-instruction method first used in US plants in the 1940s, breaks each job into steps with key points. NAGARE™ displays those steps at the workstation and confirms each one on camera.

It is built to avoid that. NAGARE™ assesses the process, and the same criteria apply to everyone. There is no facial recognition, and footage is processed on hardware inside your plant.

Mainly time from a few experienced operators, whose cycles become the standard. Jidoka's engineers handle the camera setup and the model training.
