The Challenge
Operational cabins increasingly contain multiple devices and digital applications that support monitoring and communication tasks. While these technologies provide useful information, they can also increase workload or distract operators from their primary responsibilities. The organisation needed a structured way to evaluate how these devices interact with the core operational task.
The Outcome
The method provided valuable insights into which devices could safely be integrated and which introduced unnecessary distraction. It now supports organisations in making informed decisions about the introduction of new in-cabin technologies.
