AVEVA, a global leader in engineering and industrial software, has strategically partnered with Axonify, a rapidly growing B2B SaaS company and a leader in the micro-learning space, to offer adaptive AI-enabled micro-learning powered by artificial intelligence (AI) as part of AVEVA Unified Learning.

This strategic partnership with Axonify makes AVEVA the first leading digitalisation company to deliver micro-learning solutions for industrial operations staff. This is part of an overarching framework designed to help companies build competence, improve worker performance, and drive behavioural change. The training programme drives measurable outcomes for organisational competency needs, all enabled by three key aspects:

• A single integrated platform from one vendor encompassing simulation for training with rich extended reality capabilities, and tools for designing learning and development programmes.
•  Flexible deployment enabling customers to choose cloud, hybrid, or on-premise implementation.
• Harnessing of AI to fill knowledge gaps with personalised training.

AVEVA designs, develops and implements experiential learning with specific expertise in simulation, virtual and augmented reality, and blended enterprise learning with knowledge rooted in operations experience. Axonify prides itself on being a modern learning solution for frontline employees that actually works. The learning experience is fun, fast, personalised and designed to make critical information stick. And employees love it — 83 percent of users log in 2-3 times a week, which translates into meaningful behaviour change that drives business results. Through industry analysis and at the ARC Industry Forum in February 2020, AVEVA conducted research with clients, competitors and analysts. This research further highlighted that its partnership with Axonify is in fact novel, and a key differentiator for AVEVA Unified Learning in industrial operations and manufacturing space, enabling digital transformation and organisational change by improving retention by 90 percent, engagement by 80 percent, while measuring the business impact of training compared against KPI’s.

“The whole process of learning in the industrial environment is going through disruptive change, with tools such as AI, AR, and VR playing a key role for a workforce that is both going through a generational transition as well as becoming location independent,” commented Craig Resnick, Vice President, ARC Advisory Group. “The partnership between Axonify and AVEVA will not only help to bring these critical training technologies to AVEVA customers; it will also help customers adapt to the new normal caused by disruptions to businesses like the COVID-19 pandemic, where remote training goes hand in hand with the remote workforce who may not have had the benefit of legacy experience of the factory floor and needs being able to remotely monitor, operate and control industrial processes.”
