Resolve Manufacturing Challenges with Projected AR Workflows

The future of aerospace and defense manufacturing is here. It’s not just about automation, it’s about empowering your workforce with the best possible digital toolset. LightGuide AR is a powerful addition to your Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing systems.

LightGuide’s projected 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 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.

As the premier digital work instruction platform, LightGuide’s projected AR software interfaces with industrial-grade projectors, sensors, and smart tools to guide operators through each step of a company’s key assembly, inspection, material handling, and training operations.

  • Prevent errors with interactive AR work instructions projected directly on your operators’ work surface
  • Detect errors in real time with 3D sensors and vision cameras that monitor and catch mistakes
  • Get real-time data and insights on your operators’ performance and quality
