Novotek, is the largest European distributor for GE’s Intelligent Platforms business and it has been awarded the Scanautomatic Prize for Innovation at Scanautomatic 2014 in Gothenburg, Sweden in October. Novotek has since 1986 worked with integration of IT and automation systems in the process and production industry. Novotek mainly supplies world-leading products and solutions from GE in the Nordics and Benelux.

A work process management solution, GE’s Proficy Workflow software provides users with interactive, step-by-step task instructions and captures process, traceability and quality data across systems to reduce errors, waste and delays. At Scanautomatic, the largest trade show for the manufacturing industry in the Nordic region, Novotek combined Workflow with Google Glass for hands-free, expert guidance through process steps. Visitors could try the innovation by building a Lego car, with all of the instructions displayed in the Google Glass glasses. They could keep both hands available to complete task steps with instructions presented directly in front of them, tailored to the current operation.
