Applications

Smart Quality Control for Manufacturing

Visometry Twyn’s augmented visual overlays provide an intuitive and effective means of comparing the current status with the planned status of a product. Thanks to its design and features, Twyn is perfectly suited for various industrial applications. Especially at the start of the production process, it enables manufacturers to easily identify deviations and prevent costly downtime and rework.

Streamline Your Production Life Cycle

Twyn is the ideal solution for a variety of industrial quality check applications, enabling manufacturers to enhance the overall production life cycle. Here are some of the key areas:

First Article Inspection

Deviations from product specifications and faulty machining can result in delays, failures, and costly returns.

Twyn can systematically inspect products and components according to speciﬁc plans before they go into mass production. Defined checklists enable customers to digitally document inspection results and part conformity. This ensures that a new or modified manufacturing process consistently produces parts that meet quality requirements.

Toolmaking

Tools for efficient part processing and assembly are crucial in industrial manufacturing. They ensure that products are produced to specified requirements. Often custom-made, tools are complex and expensive for manufacturers to create and need to be optimized through multiple iterations before the final tools can be built.

Twyn’s flexibility and the ability to virtually simulate various configurations in AR streamline these processes digitally, significantly reducing the number of required iterations for their production.

Assembly Check

AR and Twyn enable inspectors to digitally control whether add-on parts are complete or whether engineering design drafts will fit into an assembly.

With Twyn they can identify errors before proceeding to the next production stages, preventing costly delays, downtime, and rework in the manufacturing process. In addition, different variants can be evaluated without the need to create physical prototypes, saving companies time, costs, and materials.

Outgoing & Incoming Inspection

Efficient quality inspection with Twyn optimizes cross-company collaboration, ensuring that manufactured components comply with CAD specifications before they are shipped (outgoing inspection).

Likewise, organizations can easily check whether parts from suppliers align with CAD specifications (incoming inspection). Production errors are thus detected at an early stage.

Large Part On-Site Inspection

With Twyn, companies can perform quality inspections at any location, right where products and components are manufactured or stored.

This capability is particularly crucial for large parts and components, as they cannot be easily transported to measurement rooms or test areas or inspected using fixed inspection solutions.

Quality Gates in »Manufacturing to Order«

Twyn’s ability to verify parts against their CAD specifications simplifies the establishment of quality gates throughout the manufacturing process.

This helps identify errors as they arise, preventing costly downtimes and rework.

Body-in-White Construction

Twyn is used to verify that car body frames have all their geometric features, including welding points and studs, correctly positioned.

This step is critical and serves as a prerequisite for the seamless integration of trims (e.g. door locks and handles, electronic components, and seats), chassis sub-assemblies, and the engine.

Jig and Fixture Construction

Jigs and fixtures are essential tools for establishing manufacturing, requiring precise positioning and alignment to facilitate reliable machining.

Twyn streamlines this process by allowing real-time, digital verification and adjustment of alignments. This way our customers can avoid costly errors and rework during machining operations.

Product Design and Development

Twyn helps manufacturers visualize and evaluate ideas and prototypes before they become final products.

This enables manufacturers to minimize unnecessary iteration processes, saving both time and costs associated with producing physical prototypes and products.

Maintenance and Repair

Twyn is used to support various maintenance practices and audit requirements aimed at keeping equipment, devices, and machinery operational.

During inspections with Twyn, users compare the target state with the actual state, enabling them to directly and intuitively identify errors for repair, replacement, and servicing.

FAQs

What is Twyn and how does it support industrial quality checks?

Twyn is a mobile AR-powered visual quality inspection platform developed by Visometry that enables manufacturers to visually compare the current state of a product with its planned state (CAD) using augmented reality overlays. It provides an intuitive and effective way to detect deviations early in the production process, helping to prevent downtime, reduce rework, and ensure consistent quality throughout manufacturing.

Can Twyn handle large or non-transportable parts?

Yes. Twyn is particularly effective for large-part on-site inspections. This mobile AR solution allows operators to perform visual quality inspections directly at the production site, eliminating the need to move heavy or large components to dedicated inspection rooms. This flexibility makes Twyn ideal for industries such as railway and land & heavy machinery manufacturing.

How does Twyn improve efficiency and reduce production costs?

By providing real-time, visual comparisons and digital documentation, Twyn significantly shortens inspection times. Its AR-based approach allows for early deviation detection, fewer iterations, and faster decision-making, saving manufacturers both time and material costs across the production lifecycle.

Can Twyn be used for maintenance and product development?

Yes. Twyn supports maintenance, repair, and development processes by comparing actual conditions to target models. It makes it easier for operators to identify areas for repair or maintenance.

In product design, Twyn helps visualize and assess prototypes before physical production, reducing unnecessary iterations and improving overall development efficiency.

Fast and reliable inspection and quality control in manufacturing with Twyn

Twyn helps manufacturers improve visual quality control in production environments.

Using a tablet and augmented reality, it overlays the CAD model on the image of the real part, enabling a direct comparison between the actual and target products. This makes quality inspections faster and more intuitive. Twyn supports various inspection processes, such as first article inspection, assembly check, incoming and outgoing inspections, and the validation of large components, ensuring that products meet required standards.

It strengthens inspection routines, reduces costs related to rework or delays, and improves customer satisfaction through a more efficient validation process.

With comprehensive digital documentation of quality inspections and results, Twyn helps record quality and improve products’ traceability.
