Driving Manufacturing Efficiencies with Improved Factory Floor Communications

About this Guide

Manufacturers are faced with a variety of unique challenges related to driving continuous improvement, engaging with deskless workers, and improving employee safety.

And as a result, they’re increasingly turning to new ways to solve old challenges. They’re adopting more digital-based solutions and increasingly turn to new communication mediums to positively impact key executive priorities in these three strategic areas:

  • Optimizing Operations
  • Engaging Employees
  • Showcasing Innovation

Spirit AeroSystems is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of aerostructures for commercial airplanes, defense platforms, and regional jets.

With 10 locations across the world and over 16,000 employees, Spirit AeroSystems sought out a communications platform that would support its executive priorities, plus enable communications teams to reach the entire workforce with a consistent brand and message.

In this executive brief, based on a webinar by Peggy Deiter from Spirit AeroSystems and Joe Heddy from Poppulo, we explore how digital signage can be leveraged to help impact both operational and employee engagement challenges.

Key takeaways include:

  • How Spirit AeroSystems leverages digital signage to drive performance
  • Using digital signage to improve productivity
  • How to better reach frontline workers

The AI Toolkit for Internal Communications

Internal communication is under real pressure. IC teams are expected to support leaders, shape culture, and deliver relevant, personalized communication to an increasingly diverse audience—all while operating at greater speed and scale than ever before. AI arrives at the right moment. It doesn’t replace communicators; it elevates them. Applied well, AI sharpens the fundamentals of effective communication: diagnosing issues, shaping the narrative, guiding leaders, and delivering messages that connect people to purpose and progress. At its best, AI accelerates drafting, adapts content for different formats, improves accessibility, and surfaces insights about what’s landing. Without governance, though, it can create noise or risk. The opportunity for IC teams is to bring AI in thoughtfully, with governance and human judgment at the center. This guide shows how to do exactly that. Inside, you’ll find practical guidance on when to use AI, where humans remain essential, how to establish guardrails, how to prompt effectively, and how to scale AI responsibly across channels and teams.
