Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
German seating systems manufacturer Isringhausen is to create 120 jobs at its new production facility in Ujazd in 2022. It is part of the company’s announced investment of over PLN 34 million (€7.34 million) by the end of 2023. Isringhausen has just started building the factory, which is expected to be fully operational in spring 2022. The company plans to build a production hall and a warehouse of 5,000 square meters. The plant will produce seats for Stellantis Group, which will start the commercial vehicles production at its factory in Gliwice in spring 2022.
Isringhausen, a subsidiary of AUNDE Group, has been operating since 1919; currently, the company has 52 plants in 20 countries and employs over 6,500 employees worldwide. The company provides seating systems and technical springs to such brands as Daimler, MAN, Scania, Volvo, and Volkswagen.
