Import the CAD model
The digital definition, including PMI, is brought in and the inspection template is configured on a PC before anything reaches the floor.
Overview
Visual inspection is still the last checkpoint, and still mostly paper
On most assembly lines the final quality gate is a person with a drawing, a checklist, and experience. It catches a great deal, and it is also the step most exposed to fatigue, interpretation, and undocumented judgment. When something is missed, the record of what was checked rarely survives the shift.
Augmented visual inspection replaces the drawing with the model itself. The CAD definition is registered to the physical part and drawn over it in real time, so the operator sees the intended geometry aligned with what is actually in front of them.
Every check is captured as it happens, which turns inspection into data rather than a signature. See it as a system on the SuPAR product page.
Applications
Aerospace assemblies
Missing holes, fastener type and placement, bracket presence, and harness routing on structures where a paper check is slow and a miss is expensive. See aerospace and defense.
Applications
Vehicle and chassis build
Large frames and chassis where the inspector walks the part and the checklist is long. Configuration and option verification before the unit leaves the station. See automotive.
