Industry4cast by KFactory hosts Decebal Marin for a conversation about digital education in production companies - the practical work of preparing operators, technicians, engineers and managers to use the digital tools that are now showing up on the shop floor.
The framing is important. Digital education in a factory is not a course someone takes in a classroom; it is a continuous practice baked into how the operating model works. The shift from manual data collection to a real-time platform changes what "competent" means at every level of the plant - and treating that as a one-off training project is exactly how digitalisation programmes stall.
For manufacturers running or evaluating KFactory or any other Industry 4.0 platform, the episode connects directly to the success criterion that does not show up in the RFP: whether the people on the line can actually use the new tools - and whether the company has built the educational practice that lets them.
