Burn the Binders: Revolutionize Onboarding, Training, and Transitions with Aetos
Not all training is created equal.
All the components of a healthy facility - from personnel to equipment to budgets to signage - are part of a respiratory system: meaning there is movement, action, inhale, and exhale.
So why can't site-specific training or onboarding procedures be updated and regularly reviewed?
Learning best practices and executing standard operating procedures is a core obligation at any facility, but is often unintentionally lagging in many organizations, putting the performance of workers - and their company - at a disadvantage.
Many Current Training Practices Are Actually Outdated
With the rise in technology – and the incredible rate of advancement in the digital space – practices and systems from years past are quickly becoming ineffectual. Because of this advance, companies that refuse to change will fall flat.
Onboarding and training initiatives need to improve.
Systems like outdated computer programs, filing cabinets, or generic training videos are no longer a viable option for complex operations right now, let alone in the coming years.
Millennials and Gen Zers are going to be the dominant generations of workers, and are generally known for their high expectations of software development, scaffolded implementation, and task support.
Both digital transformation and the injection of younger workers are causes for considering new training capabilities.
Burn the Binders
In the digital age, bulky binders are antiquated – becoming more obsolete with each passing year. The information stored in a notebook is valuable, but it is hardly accessible.
In order to review hard-copy files, being on-site is required. Imagine how facilities management (particularly those with larger spaces or multiple sites) benefit from digital storage of files and documentation.
But take it a step further: consider how an operations team is enhanced in their day-to-day tasks if they could allow team members to visualize their assets.
Granted, stapled packets and clipboards have their place. But if an organization really wants to capture a location and leverage site-specific visibility to promote better instruction, troubleshooting, and safety demonstrations, they need something more.
Access & Deliver Best Practices
Sometimes a company’s strongest attempt to “modern management” of their systems is a generic computer program that is operating in the past. With the technology readily available for buildings and its management, organizations are attempting to run efficiently with a product that simply isn’t efficient.
Old, outdated software actually hinders a company’s ability to progress: with machinery as well as personnel. New instruments are introduced in the industrial spaces as a way to boost productivity; new engineers and equipment is brought in to replace and rejuvenate. Why would a competent company refuse to do the same with their software?
Best practices should be accessible to all facility personnel, not just the senior engineer.
Organizations can leverage state-of-the-art visualization techniques within digital twins of their actual facility.
With this visibilty, enhanced training and custom-built courses are now not only possible, but extremely powerful for their workforce.
Train Before Day 1
Another value that 3D training environments offer is found in the onboarding process.
By being able to access a 3D scan, new engineers and employees can virtually tour and train with the critical assets they will be operating.
Instructional videos and procedures can be deployed within the platform. Onboarding becomes much more intentional and potent, as individuals are permitted to observe, explore, interact, and practice specific exercises from anywhere in the world.
And this content is available in perpetuity. A crew member can access and review the digital intel at any time; instructional content and tutorials become dynamic, revisable, and readily accessible.
Gather Data About Personnel Know-How
Data is king when building performance is prioritized.
Take advantage of data collection within a digital twin for your learning objectives.
Statistics regarding a training module can be recorded. Submitted answers can be analyzed to see if employees are grasping the desired content, or if further guidance is required.
Data is one of the most sought-after items within the business world, helping teams get a better understanding of current affairs, previous actions, and actual performance.
Learning the institutional knowledge within a facility - or even across a portfolio! - can be critical to optimized practices, and capturing that information can bring clarity to decision makers.
Feel the Effects Immediately
Aetos is stepping in and revolutionizing the way engineers, staff members, ownership, and managers are able to learn bespoke knowledge within a virtual environment.
We know that facilities management is responsible for the performance of their assets – whether that be providing quality training, implementing green initiatives, regulating preventative maintenance, meeting energy efficient goals, or analyzing data for imperative decisions.
Aetos allows for teams to ditch binders and digitize their training within a virtual environment that is an exact representation of the space(s) employees will interact in.
Our flagship software comes with customizable content, curriculum development opportunities, 8K 3D representation, data captures, and real-time notations – a massive improvement to binder-held details and protocols.
We are confident that our services will greatly enhance the way orientation, education, safety, data retention, SOPs, and preventative maintenance is conducted in commercial and industrial spaces; it’s the upgrade the built environment has been waiting for.
