Replacing Copies and Templates

Objective

To reduce preparation time and cost in precise component positioning tasks by replacing physical templates with digital AR overlays.

Value

Faster setup times
Lower production costs
Greater precision and repeatability in component placement

AR Role

AR projects digital copies onto equipment structures, guiding the exact placement of items like Velcro, supports, or optical fibers without needing physical templates.

AR Case Study Showcase

Problem

Traditional templates are expensive, slow to prepare, and prone to wear. Manual placement is time-consuming and less precise.

Solution

AR allows operators to:

Use ‘digital copies’ for component positioning
Eliminate complex cutting, punching, and tracing steps
Speed up repetitive or variant-specific assembly

Outcomes

Cost savings by avoiding template production
Better quality and consistency in placement
Improved efficiency for highly customized builds
