About LightGuide’s augmented reality (AR) software transforms manual processes by projecting digital step-by-step AR work instructions onto an employee’s work surface, standardizing and error-proofing the work. Coupled with 3D sensors and vision cameras, the system prevents and detects errors in real time while capturing data and insights on your operator’s performance and quality. Eliminate defects and improve efficiency by transforming manual processes into visual AR work instructions for real-time operator guidance. LightGuide Projected AR creates a high-impact, high-resolution, hands-free user experience. Our digital work instruction platform uses 3D sensors and vision cameras to detect errors in real time, preventing defects and ensuring no-fault-forward quality control. Capture real-time operational metrics for full digital traceability in complex manufacturing processes and uncover powerful insights with the data hub.		About VKS is a digital work instruction software that makes it easy for companies to throw out paper work instructions and transform into a digital factory. Create digital work instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs) using pictures, videos, PDFs, annotations and more. Integrate in-process quality checklists to help reduce defects by up to 95%. Standardize best practices and increase productivity by 20%. With real-time process control and built-in reports, you also get 100% guaranteed traceability. By switching to digital work instructions, you can capture tribal knowledge and eliminate the skills gap. You also benefit from increased communication on the shop floor and the subsequent improved accuracy of your operational decision-making.
