A gentle nudge is often a more effective way to bring out the best in a worker than a firm push. Two common scenarios where this approach applies are just-hired workers and veteran ones that need to learn a new task.
Such nudging can also be a good way to get the most out of a production line, especially when it involves new technology. Consider the example of 3D vision guidance for robots. Although first developed in the 1990s, the technology has been slowly implemented on the assembly line by manufacturers. Today, it’s a viable alternative to 2D vision for various tasks like random bin picking and dispensing adhesives.
