Resolve Manufacturing Challenges with Projected Augmented Reality Work Instructions
Aerospace and defense manufacturing is evolving. Products are becoming more complex, the skills gap is getting wider, and manufacturers are challenged with increasing production to meet growing demand for highly sophisticated aircraft and tactical equipment.
LightGuide’s projected augmented reality (AR) work instruction platform standardizes and error-proofs manual workflows for breakthroughs in quality, productivity, and operational agility.
Optimize Processes & Improve Quality
Builds are getting more complex.
Eliminate defects and improve efficiency by transforming manual processes into visual AR workflows for precise, real-time guidance and no-fault-forward quality control.
Bridge the Skills Gap
Attract, train, and retain employees. AR-guided training makes work instructions easier to follow and faster to comprehend, helping workers gain the skills to achieve optimal quality and productivity.
Enhance Traceability
Unlock full traceability to identify deviations at the source. Capture manual process data for a more complete view of operations and identify additional areas of optimization.
