Easier. Faster. Better.
The Quality Execution System for Manual Processes
Smart Klaus is a modern, camera-based worker assistance system that combines worker guidance, visual quality inspection, comprehensive process documentation, and intelligent process control.
The result is a Quality Execution System that prevents errors, safeguards processes, and creates transparency in manufacturing.
Discover the powerful features that make Smart Klaus the ideal solution for your business.
Digital Worker Guidance
Step-by-Step Guide to Safe and Error-Free Processes
Smart Klaus’s on-the-job guidance system supports employees directly at their workstations with digital and intuitive work instructions. All necessary tasks are displayed clearly and comprehensibly, step by step, so that work processes can be carried out safely and without errors.

The system informs the worker in real time about which step to perform next, which component is needed, and where it must be installed. This provides every employee with clear guidance throughout the entire assembly process.
Especially for complex products and manufacturing processes with many variations, the operator guidance system ensures a structured and standardized way of working. New employees can be trained more quickly, while experienced specialists benefit from reliable process support.
Digital worker guidance makes workflows more transparent, increases process reliability, and sustainably boosts manufacturing efficiency. Schlaue Klaus ensures that every step is communicated in a traceable and understandable way - for modern production with maximum support for people.
Process-Integrated Quality Assurance
Monitor and Ensure Quality in Real Time
Live quality control using a camera enables continuous monitoring of assembly and manufacturing processes directly at the workstation. Using state-of-the-art image processing technology, work steps are captured in real time and automatically compared against the specified quality requirements.

During production, Smart Klaus checks whether components have been correctly selected, properly positioned, and fully assembled. Deviations or errors are immediately detected and reported directly to the employees. This allows corrections to be made right away, before defective products reach the next step in the process.
Camera-based quality control significantly reduces scrap, rework, and customer complaints. At the same time, it increases process reliability and ensures consistently high product quality.
With live quality control, quality is not checked only at the end of the production process, but is ensured as the product is being manufactured. The result is more efficient processes, lower error costs, and reliable production at the highest quality level.
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
Identify errors before they become a problem
Smart Klaus's automatic optical inspection system reliably checks components, assemblies, and assembly results in real time. State-of-the-art camera technology and intelligent image processing enable precise inspection directly within the production process - quickly, objectively, and with repeatable accuracy.

Smart Klaus automatically compares the current inspection image with the specified quality criteria and immediately detects any deviations. Missing components, incorrect parts, misalignment, or assembly errors are instantly identified and displayed.
Automated inspection enables quality defects to be detected early on, which can significantly reduce rework, scrap, and customer complaints. At the same time, companies benefit from consistently high inspection quality, regardless of shift schedules or personnel changes.
Automated optical inspection supports stable and efficient production by integrating quality controls directly into the manufacturing process. This ensures that only flawless products proceed to the next process step.
Automatic Documentation
Full Transparency for Your Manufacturing Processes
Smart Klaus automatically documents relevant process and quality data during production, making it traceable. All recorded information is directly assigned to the respective products, assemblies, or orders and is available at any time for analysis and documentation.
Every step in the process can be recorded in a traceable manner, so it is always clear when a product was manufactured, inspected, or processed. This ensures seamless traceability throughout the entire production process.

Automated documentation supports companies in quality assurance, simplifies root cause analysis in the event of errors, and provides transparency across all manufacturing processes. At the same time, it reduces the need for manual documentation and frees employees from time-consuming administrative tasks.
With Smart Klaus companies gain a reliable foundation for traceable, transparent, and quality-oriented production. Automatic documentation and traceability ensure greater process reliability, faster response times, and greater control over all manufacturing processes.
Operator Assistance for Electronics Manufacturing
AI in Electronics Manufacturing with the SoyoniK Guide®
The SoyoniK Guide is a specialized version of Smart Klaus that has been optimized for the unique challenges of electronics manufacturing.
Using state-of-the-art image processing technology and artificial intelligence (AI), it supports employees in THT placement, assembly, and final inspection.
