Stanley Black & Decker partners with DeepHow
Stanley X, the Innovation hub of Stanley Black & Decker has partnered an artificial intelligence solution designed to train and transfer knowledge among skilled workers.
DeepHow, established in 2018, says it bridges the skills gap challenge in manufacturing, service, and construction industries through an AI-powered knowledge capturing and learning platform.
While experts perform their individual tasks and processes, DeepHow captures their workflow via a mobile app. Using the latest AI technologies, this captured data is extracted and synthesized, turning complex workflows into step-by-step, how-to videos.
As a partner, Stanley Black & Decker plans to use DeepHow's innovative AI platform in its up-skilling programs. This high-tech platform called "Stephanie" will improve knowledge capture, increase training efficiency, and help grow the culture of safety at the company, Stanley Black & Decker said.
The manufacturer will also help bring DeepHow's AI platform to its existing customer base and scale its adoption, focusing on manufacturers, contractors, trade schools and unions.
"There is a tremendous opportunity to help our customers minimize the disruption caused by employee turnover," said Kevin Lemke, vice president of strategy for Stanley Black & Decker's Innovation Group. "DeepHow is the only AI knowledge transfer system for the skilled trades, and we view it as an integral part of the ecosystem we are beginning to build."
"Our team is very excited to bring on Stanley Black & Decker as our go-to-market partner," said Sam Zheng, CEO of DeepHow. "We think about manufacturing and construction as prime opportunities for our AI-powered knowledge capturing and learning platform, given the aging workforce and skilled labor shortage.
Because of Stanley Black & Decker's strong positions across the tools and storage, security and industrial markets, this partnership will greatly accelerate innovative uses for DeepHow to help their customers find solutions to business challenges, according to Zheng.
