DeepHow has officially launched Smart Training, its AI-powered training platform designed for skilled industrial workers. Building on momentum from a customer base that includes more than 100 companies—such as Unilever and Energizer—Smart Training addresses a challenge for manufacturing and industrial sectors: how to efficiently capture, preserve, and transfer expertise from experienced workers to new employees at scale.
Smart Training leverages AI-driven video analysis with content creation tools to turn industrial procedures into multi-modal training modules, providing what Georgia-Pacific calls “critical support” for workforce development.
DeepHow, a TechNexus Venture Collaborative portfolio company, showcased Smart Training at NVIDIA’s GTC conference in a session last month, where DeepHow AI Officer Sam Zheng and Acuity Brands Learning & Development Director Jason Strasser highlighted the platform’s differentiated capabilities. Built for modern industry, Smart Training automatically segments workflows in modules, validates technical skills, and meets rigorous safety and compliance standards. And Smart Training does this at scale, standardizing training processes so employees can focus on hands-on training.
Those capabilities are already driving real-world results. Customers like OMG Roofing Products report "training twice as effectively." They’ve also reduced training timelines from six months to just six days or six weeks.
The launch comes at a pivotal moment for industrial sectors facing seismic shifts. Nearly 4 million skilled workers in the US are approaching retirement each year, while 17 million workers are in need of skill training. At the same time, 85% of Millennials prefer to learn through video-based formats, signaling a new learning paradigm that traditional methods can’t meet. Smart Training helps organizations meet these challenges head-on, dramatically reducing onboarding time while ensuring consistent knowledge transfer, safety compliance, and workforce readiness.
Since its founding in 2018, DeepHow has been at the forefront of applying AI to industrial workspaces. With a focus on measurable outcomes and ground-up transformation, DeepHow is helping companies reimagine what’s possible in the next generation of industrial workforce development.
