Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are web applications that work like native apps, but can be used via the browser without having to be installed. They combine the advantages of web and mobile apps and are therefore very appealing to industry.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) combine the best features of websites and mobile apps: fast loading times, offline capability and a high level of user-friendliness without the need for installation. Further advantages are high performance and reliability, as they can be used even with poor internet connections.
Practical examples of use in industry
Progressive web apps are future-proof solutions for industrial companies seeking to embrace digital transformation. This is particularly useful for applications in production, logistics, maintenance and quality management. Here are a few practical examples: A maintenance technician uses a PWA on a tablet to view machine sensor data – even without the internet. The advantage of this is that the technician can respond more quickly to machine problems and avoid downtime. A logistics specialist uses a PWA with a barcode scanner function to record and update stock levels. The advantage of this is that no additional hardware is required, the warehouse processes are more efficient and the error rate is reduced. A PWA is also suitable for quality assurance purposes, as quality assurance officers can capture the test reports and images directly on the production floor. And one final example: Thanks to a PWA, a machine operator can access production data and orders in real time and adjust parameters directly – without access to a PC.
The benefits for industry
For industry, PWAs can be a real game-changer. There are a number of reasons for this:
PWAs are cost-effective and efficient solutions for companies that are looking for a high reach and user-friendliness, while at the same time optimising their internal production processes.
