  - 'BACKGROUND:The future of work in Germany is shaped by megatrends like globalization,
    automatization, digitization, and the demographic change. Furthermore, mass customization
    and the increasing usage of AI even in manual assembly offers new opportunities
    as well as it creates new challenges. OBJECTIVE:The trend towards mass customization
    in turn leads to increased complexity in production, which results in additional
    mental workload. This effect will continue in the foreseeable future. METHOD:Especially
    for small and medium sized companies, the backbone of Germany’s economy, automatization
    and Human-Robot-Collaboration will take time to develop. Information assistance
    systems are and will be a bridging technology to help organizations to manage
    increasing complexity and the mental workload of their employees to not only boost
    productivity but also keep their workforce healthy. The ongoing demographic change
    further underlines the need to use information assistance systems to compensate
    possible age-associated deficits, but also keep older employees committed to their
    work and avoid effects of disengagement or disenfranchisement through participatory
    ergonomics. RESULTS: Information assistance systems can only develop their inherent
    potential if they are designed to support employees of varying age, competence
    levels, and affinity for technology. Participatory development and early engagement
    are key factors for an increased acceptance and usage of the systems as well as
    the individualization to make it suitable for each individual employee. CONCLUSION:Expanding
    the functionalities to an adaptive assistance system, using physiological correlates
    of mental workload as an input, is conceivable in the future. @eng'
