The manufacturing industry faces a growing skills gap. With 3.6 million skilled workers in the U.S. alone retiring each year and 79% of executives planning to re-shore operations, the need for effective, scalable training and upskilling workers has never been greater. On the other hand, how people consume information has drastically shifted in the last 5 years. Traditional training methods– job shadowing, classroom instruction, and printed manuals– struggle to keep pace with modern industry demands.
Leveraging NVIDIA Metropolis and AI technology, DeepHow is changing the game by transforming how industrial knowledge is captured, taught, and shared. Through generative AI-powered smart videos, we enable companies to capture expert workflows and convert them into structured, multilingual training content that resonates with the next-generation workforce.
The result: happier and safer skilled workers and improved efficiency on the shop floor.
How DeepHow uses NVIDIA AI technology
DeepHow’s AI-powered training platform relies on cutting-edge NVIDIA technologies to accelerate and enhance the transformation of raw demonstrations into structured smart video instructions. Here’s how:
1. Tackling video search and summarization with NVIDIA AI Blueprint
A core offering of DeepHow transforms raw videos into Smart Videos. DeepHow uses the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS) to generate concise video summaries and metadata that powers the user experience.
VSS enables users to ask questions in natural language, get relevant answers from the company’s own video library, and quickly conduct searches for video and text context. This speeds up operations, reduces downtime and enables production through just-in-time information.
Extracting insights and improving AI decision-making with NVIDIA VSS NVIDIA’s AI technologies allows skilled workers to use natural language to seek expertise, using captured information within DeepHow to become an expert source of findable knowledge.
2. Multimodal understanding for enhanced learning
A key component in the AI Blueprint are NVIDIA’s Visual Language Models (VLMs).These VLMs enable DeepHow to process and simultaneously understand video, text, speech, and image based educational content. This allows the platform to create richer, more interactive training materials that align with how today’s skilled workforce learns best.
3. Advanced AI models for video understanding
DeepHow leverages NVIDIA NeMo™, a powerful framework to fine-tune and optimize large language models (LLMs), and NVIDIA NIMs™ (NVIDIA Inference Microservices) to streamline AI inference. These technologies power DeepHow’s ability to analyze complex processes and generate highly accurate, context-aware training content. In manufacturing and skilled labor training, the AI is fine-tuned with domain-specific terminology to deliver clear and precise instructions to each skilled worker, regardless of spoken language.
4. Optimized AI inference with NVIDIA TensorRT™ & Triton™
NVIDIA TensorRT optimizes AI inference, ensuring DeepHow’s platform delivers real-time responsiveness when analyzing and structuring training content. The NVIDIA Triton Inference Server also allows DeepHow to deploy and scale AI models efficiently across different customer environments.
5. Scalability & performance with NVIDIA GPUs
DeepHow leverages NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate AI processing, enabling rapid video analysis, transcription, and smart segmentation. By harnessing the power of NVIDIA’s accelerated computing, DeepHow can process complex work demonstration content in real-time, reducing video conversion time and enhancing efficiency.
The impact: Transforming workforce training
DeepHow is already making a significant impact across industries by delivering scalable, AI-powered workforce training. Companies like Stanley Black & Decker and AB InBev have successfully used DeepHow to reduce onboarding costs, accelerate skills transfer, and improve workforce retention.
- Stanley Black & Decker cut onboarding costs by 54% and increased retention through AI-driven video training.
- AB InBev reduced training time by 77% and scaled knowledge sharing across dozens of sites globally.
- DeepHow is trusted by over 100 enterprises across more than 1,500 sites in over 28 countries, providing multilingual, domain-specific training solutions to empower the skilled workforce both domestically and internationally.
With NVIDIA AI acceleration, DeepHow is making workforce training more efficient, scalable, and effective– ensuring that expert knowledge is captured before it’s lost and that new workers, regardless of mechanical experience, can learn faster and maintain a competitive advantage.
The future of workforce training is accelerated by AI
The skills gap in manufacturing isn’t just a shared challenge faced by all of us– it’s an urgent call for innovation. Traditional training methods can’t keep pace with the rapid shifts in workforce demographics, technology, and production demands. That’s why DeepHow is redefining how industrial knowledge is captured and transferred, leveraging AI and smart video to upskill workers faster and more effectively.
With NVIDIA’s advanced AI blueprints, GPUs, and multimodal processing capabilities, DeepHow is making workforce training more scalable, efficient, and impactful than ever before, with measurable results.
As industries embrace digital transformation, it’s critical that expert knowledge is preserved, skills are developed efficiently, and companies remain competitive in an evolving market. DeepHow and NVIDIA are leading the way to ensure they can do just that with confidence and more ease than before.
