work together on the same line

bring HQ and factory together
as one space

tonari for manufacturing

tonari: a telepresence portal that helps factory staff and managers work together and stay in sync.

the problem

factory compounds are large and often far away. when teams are split across locations, hidden strain builds up. it’s hard to react quickly when problems arise.

factory lines are large and oftentimes distributed, but the way people work naturally still depends on asking quick questions, sharing context, visible managers, and everyday trust.

existing methods are not enough. traditional video conferencing systems are not made to be always on. they’re too small to share enough context. for workers, they may feel more like being monitored, rather than supported. it’s challenging for managers to physically travel back-and-forth due to time constraints and weather.

there’s no everyday method for people to build relationships and stay aligned.

.

with tonari, distributed factory workers and managers can work and be together in one space

not a video call. not a meeting. a shared factory line powered by telepresence.

challenging the concepts of ‘remote’ vs ‘together’ so we can rethink how we design, build, and grow
