Abstract
INTRODUCTION: This paper introduces Digital Personal Assistants (DPAs) as tools to support inclusive employment for workers with disabilities in industrial production. OBJECTIVES: The aim is to design a DPA that enables barrier-free access to work-related information. METHODS: DPAs are developed for multiple devices, focusing on accessibility, and task support—co-designed with workers with disabilities. RESULTS: A possible implementation of a DPAs is shown in this paper. CONCLUSION: User-centered DPAs can help reduce barriers and support inclusion in production.
