Prominent reformer Horace Mann once said education is “the great equalizer.” Today, technology can play a similar role in manufacturing and aerospace. Imagine empowering employees - regardless of their background - with tools that allow them to: 🌟 Build apps and solutions to optimize their work 🌟 Capture and share expertise 🌟 Drive innovation within their teams This not only helps companies retain talent but also attracts the next generation of workers by showing them their growth and ideas matter.

Last week our CEO Florent offered insights on AI automation in aerospace supply chains. It takes millions parts to build an aircraft and thousands factories around the world to orchestrate their assembly, at the highest levels of precision. These are the challenges we're tackling at C-981. #aerospace #aviation #supplychain #automation #AI #manufacturing #workforce #americandynamism

Traditional tools force companies to adapt their processes to rigid software. As Thomas Schwartz, our Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, highlights: ✅ Connect 981 allows the digital solution to adapt to the business process, not the other way around. ✅ It delivers short-term impact, unlike tools with long development cycles. ✅ It complements the critical foundation of existing ERPs without multiplying point solutions and the complexity that comes with them. Connect 981 puts operational teams back at the heart of digital transformation and provides solutions tailored to real industrial challenges. 🎥 Watch Thomas explain the full approach here: https://lnkd.in/d-n3jTYg #C981 #Connect981 #DemocratizeTech #Industry50 #ManufacturingInnovation

Did you know that retirements are creating a massive knowledge gap in manufacturing? This “tribal knowledge” - informal, on-the-job skills - is at risk of being lost. To address this, companies need to focus on: 🔧 Capturing expertise before it disappears 📲 Empowering employees with no-code tech to document and share insights 🔗 Building solutions that help transfer knowledge across teams Retaining expertise doesn’t just help operations - it shows employees that their contributions matter. This fosters engagement and long-term retention. 💡 Learn more about bridging this knowledge gap: https://lnkd.in/d9bXm5fv #WorkforceRetention #KnowledgeTransfer #Connect981 #C981 #ManufacturingChallenges #DemocratizeTech
