Problem
Manufacturing plants often rely on paper-based processes for quality assurance, resulting in increased costs of poor quality (CoPQ) and slower worker training. The increasing complexity of products and the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies demand a more diverse skillset from human operators, making it crucial to reduce the time-to-competence for new employees.
Solution
KIT-AR provides an augmented reality (AR) solution designed to digitize shop floor processes, enhance quality assurance, and accelerate worker training in manufacturing environments. By overlaying digital information onto the real-world view, KIT-AR enables workers to follow best practices, automatically verify correct application of processes, and ensure quality traceability. The AR platform reduces the costs associated with poor quality by providing real-time guidance and validation, while also improving team performance and continuous improvement programs. KIT-AR's solution reduces time-to-competence for new trainees and lowers onboarding costs by providing interactive, step-by-step instructions and immediate feedback.
Target Audience
KIT-AR targets manufacturing companies seeking to reduce costs of poor quality, improve team performance, and accelerate worker training through the digitization of shop floor processes.
