How it works

Optimised worker guidance

Exemplary structure of a workplace. All components of the assistance system can be assembled on existing work tables.

The SK Assembly worker assistance system guides workers step by step through the manual mounting process.

Digital work instructions on the display show workers what to do. With the help of augmented reality and the live image from the camera, the relevant area for the work step is also marked.

The industrial image-processing software permanently analyses and interprets the images captured by the camera. In this way, the worker assistance system can provide feedback in real time as to whether a work step has been carried out correctly, and immediately points out any errors. Smart Klaus only continues the mounting process if all the items on the digital checklist have been successfully completed.
