1. A system for interfacing an operating management system with an operator, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to execute workflow instructions; and
an operator device in communication with the processor, the operator device being a headset comprising a microphone, a camera, and a wireless receiver for communicative coupling with the processor;
wherein the processor is further configured to execute commands which convert the workflow instructions from a text command into an audible command and transmit the audible command to the operator device;
wherein the operator device is configured to receive the audible command via the microphone, and is further configured to transmit an operator response to the processor via the wireless receiver either directly or through the network; and
wherein the camera is configured to capture images of at least a workflow step, and configured to send the images to the processor for archiving.
