Challenges Facing the Manufacturing Industry in Continuing Education
Manufacturing companies face training requirements that differ fundamentally from those in other industries. Safety training in accordance with DGUV regulations, machine-specific training, and complete training records are not optional—they are mandatory. Added to this are frequent staff turnover, shift work, and dispersed production sites.
• Safety and Machine Training: Legal requirements—such as those set forth in DGUV Regulation 1—mandate verifiable training completion records with timestamps and certificates of attendance. SoftDeCC logs this documentation in an audit-proof manner and makes it available for audit at any time.
• A scalable solution for large workforces: Corporations and large companies need a platform that can train, qualify, and certify hundreds or thousands of employees across multiple locations and organizational levels—without the administrative burden increasing proportionally.
• System Integration and Standards Compliance: SCORM/xAPI compatibility and integration with ERP and HR systems such as SAP ensure consistent data management.
Skills Management
Develop Skills, Fill Gaps
Job & Skill Profiles:
Each role is assigned a clearly defined job description with the corresponding training programs.
Real-Time Gap Analysis
Gaps are clearly identified—targeted development planning rather than a scattergun approach.
Automatic Reminders
Expiring qualifications trigger configurable notifications.
Self-Service
Portals
Employees and managers can view their qualification status at any time on their own portal.
E-Learning & Learning Formats
Learning Standards and Compliance
SoftDeCC supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI—learning content from any compliant authoring tool can be integrated, logged, and analyzed.
SCORM and xAPI
xAPI also tracks learning activities outside the LMS—such as AR-supported on-the-job training conducted directly at the machine.
AR-Based Practical Modules
Machine training sessions or maintenance processes can be implemented as AR-supported modules
Content from External Training Providers
Incorporate External Learning Content
SoftDeCC integrates external learning platforms such as Coursera and LinkedIn Learning and makes certified content available directly within the familiar learning portal.
• Centrally manage external learning resources
• Wide range of topics (technical skills, project management, IT qualifications)
• Automated updates of partner content
• Selective integration —targeted combination of internal and external modules
