Hosted by AutoAlign AI: The Cost of Retirements in MRO- Risk, Rework, and Readiness

PRESENTATION SLIDES

MRO organizations are facing compounding workforce pressures as experienced technicians retire, skills gaps widen, and maintenance tasks grow more complex under increasing regulatory requirements. Traditional training and troubleshooting approaches, manuals, classroom instruction, and informal knowledge transfer, do not scale as expertise exits the workforce faster than new technicians can be trained, leaving critical gaps in maintenance knowledge and execution. This session explores how real-time wearable tools support technicians at the point of work to reduce rework and bridge training gaps without compromising safety or throughput.
