In these areas, WISAG uses Visometry’s Twyn platform for augmented reality (AR) quality inspection, generating tangible efficiency gains. “For the past year and a half, Twyn has helped us save a great deal of time and money. That comes down to the added quality and flexibility the solution gives us,” says Guido Duphorn, Quality Director at WISAG. “The biggest benefits are clear: higher customer satisfaction and lower rework costs, both of which are directly measurable.”
Inspect before you measure
Gothaer Fahrzeugtechnik is a market and quality leader in the fabrication of complex tubular and plate constructions in high-strength, fine-grained steels.
To meet the high-quality expectations of its customers, the company performs regular inspections. In the past, Gothaer Fahrzeugtechnik relied exclusively on metrology systems for these checks. But as components grew in size, verifying dimensional accuracy became increasingly tedious and time-consuming. Around three years ago, the company decided to test Twyn to streamline and accelerate the process.
When augmented reality means efficiency
Chropynska Slovakia is an engineering and manufacturing company based in Detva, Slovakia.
The company’s production program consists of turnkey automated welding and manufacturing lines and production equipment for various industries including automotive, aerospace and rail. By adopting Twyn, Visometry’s augmented reality solution for visual quality inspection, the company has sped up its processes and reduced errors and costly rework.
Twyn’s capability to check manufactured items against their CAD specifications allows Chropynska Slovakia to establish “quality gates” throughout the entire production process. But at Chropynska Slovakia, Twyn finds a wide range of quality control applications, including the inspection of fixtures that are used for part manufacturing.

Maschinenfabrik Bernard KRONE GmbH & Co.KG
Agricultural Machinery
Streamlined incoming goods inspection
The family-run KRONE Group is one of the largest manufacturers of commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery.
KRONE chose Twyn to optimize incoming goods inspections. The result: not only has the product quality improved, but logistics processes have become more efficient as well. Since introducing Twyn, it’s no longer necessary to bring parts and components to the quality control area. Operators can now carry out inspections directly where components are delivered. This is particularly valuable for KRONE as many big parts are stored outdoors.
What’s more, the company can now determine early on whether a component needs to be evaluated through a time-consuming 3D measurement or can be released for production directly. And even if a part does need to be measured using a coordinate measuring system, Twyn enables KRONE to precisely define which areas of the component should be analyzed in details.
Large and complex welded parts easily inspected
CZ LOKO is one of the largest Czech manufacturers of diesel-electric locomotives and special railway vehicles.
Perfectly suited for inspecting large and complex welded parts right on site, Twyn helps CZ LOKO prevent errors and optimize their manufacturing and assembly processes, reducing rework and transportation costs. Indeed, detecting misaligned or even missing components such as brackets or supports late in the train manufacturing process can lead to huge costs. With Twyn, CZ LOKO’s quality operators can easily inspect complex assemblies and quickly localize any deviations directly on the production line.
Twyn is the ideal solution for companies that produce or receive large metal parts for railway wagons and locomotives and need to verify manufacturing accuracy before delivery or assembly. It enables organizations to confirm that multiple components have been welded precisely and that brackets and supports are correctly positioned according to the CAD model.
AR-powered, faster inspections right on location
Based in Croatia, EKO MEĐIMURJE is a European supplier of quality metal parts and welded constructions for world-renowned machine equipment manufactures.
With a wide range of highly complex products, EKO was searching for a faster and more flexible way to verify production quality. Because parts are shipped directly to customers, deviations or errors discovered upon arrival can be extremely costly. That’s why they decided to try Twyn. Using AR, manufactured components are verified against their CAD specifications, directly comparing the digital model to the physical part – based on digital twins.
With many helpful features and tools, like magnification, Twyn is the perfect inspection tool even for very large objects. Once deviations are found, they can be documented on site in real-time using photo captures, annotations, and markups and made available later as digital reports.
Before Twyn, manufactured components were compared to 2d printouts of their specifications. With Twyn, EKO can now perform AR-powered, faster inspections right on location, identifying deviations more easily thanks to precise 3D-to-3D comparisons.
AR and Twyn: the right choice for maximizing speed
Over the past few years, automotive OEMs and suppliers have been leveraging the full potential of AR-based visual quality inspection.
Even a young organization like Sigma Motor, a motorsport company based in Přerov (Czech Republic), now uses AR and digital twins to visually inspect their race vehicles. Visometry’s AR-based visual quality inspection solution is used to check welded parts and brackets of their vehicles’ chassis.
Twyn Across Various Industries
Discover how Twyn helps leading companies make quality control processes more efficient and cost-effective.
Mechanical Engineering
We manufacture a huge variety of weldments, most of which are produced in small series or batches. Due to the high number of different weld-on plates and threaded studs, it is easy to position them incorrectly. With the use of Twyn, we were able to significantly decrease the number of quality claims for wrong positioning of these plates. Furthermore, the whole control process is easy and fast. Going for Twyn was definitely a good decision.
In the report, we can see the issue of offset holes on a larger part that we received from a subcontractor, and we immediately discovered the discrepancy during the incoming inspection. We immediately forwarded the report and resolved the complaint before it was shipped to the final customer.
Using the program has minimized scrap in finished products. It has become much easier for welders to assemble structures. This is a new product that definitely helps in the work.
Twyn supports both our welded and machined products. It cut my inspection time by 80% while uncovering over twice as many defects as manual checks – now I can't work without it.
Inspection of a steel plate in its clamped state on the machine during manufacturing.
The reseller was demonstrating the Visometry Twyn software at our company. For this demonstration, I picked a random product from our assembly facility, mainly because it was a small weld assembly and easy to handle. Right away, the software showed that the bracket was in the wrong position. Since this assembly comes in a left and right version, it meant that the whole batch of 10 assemblies was rejected. It also made clear how this mistake was made, which encouraged me to redesign the part in such a way that there was only one type of bracket, as opposed to the previous situation of different brackets for left and right assembly.
Twyn inspections help us with complex products for our customers. All products are highly sophisticated and contain a large number of small components, holders, supports, stiffeners, and stud bolts. Using Twyn has significantly accelerated our inspections.
Mechanical Engineering

Heavy Machinery
At Bergmann, we inspect all welded assemblies using Twyn software. The software helps us detect errors before the components are coated and prevents them from being discovered during assembly. This saves a lot of time and money. In the photo, you can see the inspection of a C805 front frame with Twyn View. Many of our suppliers now use the software, which leads to significantly fewer complaints.
We use Twyn to inspect assemblies before welding. This allows us to detect oversights beforehand and correct them more easily. This eliminates potential errors that would only become apparent during assembly.
Twyn inspections help us quickly evaluate complex products made by our suppliers. This analysis allows us to accept the product or proceed with a more in-depth analysis using other equipment. Using Twyn has significantly accelerated our inspections.
During end-of-line frame weldment inspection, a bracket was found to be installed incorrectly (even with basic inspection – not using Assisted Deviation Detection). After further investigation, it was determined that the fixture allows the bracket to be installed at the wrong position. The fixture has since been updated.
Testing of a crane superstructure using Twyn.
Here we check drive frames for our drilling rigs at the incoming goods inspection without having to remove them from the packaging, because Twyn already recognizes the contour despite the packaging material. This saves a lot of time during the inspection.
At the Liebherr plant in Biberach, Germany, we inspect our large steel structures before painting, thereby reducing rework costs and increasing our quality. The picture shows the inspection of the upper part of the tower of our MK140-5.1 mobile crane.

With the help of the Twyn software, we can quickly and accurately perform dimensional checks on all of our small and large steel structures.
We produce equipment for the excavator industry, mostly sticks and booms. We use Twyn to check the positioning of smaller plates and bolts welded to the parts. So far, we are very happy with the results, we have increased our productivity and avoided many claims.
We use Twyn as a tool to validate our assemblies. Often, it is a matter of a missing part or a major mistake, so it is well suited for Twyn’s capabilities. It saves us a lot of time and client returns. Now, a lot of people are able to use it effectively and quickly. It has become an important part of our inspection process.
Steel Construction
Twyn software is an excellent option for us to check the position, orientation, and size of small parts on our large products in a single inspection step. The "Assisted Deviation Detection" function also helps find defects with color signals. Inspection times have been reduced by about half to a third and reliability has improved.
At our company, we have integrated Twyn into our core production workflows to ensure 100% geometric accuracy. We utilize the software as a “digital master” throughout every stage of our quality control process. Specifically, our team leverages Twyn’s AR capabilities for real-time contour inspection of large-scale workpieces. By overlaying 3D CAD models directly onto the physical components, we can instantly verify the alignment, fit, and positioning of every part. We apply Twyn at several critical points in our production: - Assembly and in-process inspection: We identify and filter out potential deviations in the early stages of assembly. - Pre- and post-welding geometry checks: We ensure that only correctly assembled units proceed to welding and subsequently verify that thermal effects have not caused any prohibited deformations. - Post-painting and pre-shipping final acceptance: This serves as our final quality gate. We guarantee that the product delivered to our customer is 100% compliant with the blueprints and meets all industry standards. - Efficiency and documentation: Tablet-based inspection not only accelerates our QA processes but also creates a digital footprint, simplifying the generation of comprehensive quality assurance reports. This technology allows us to minimize scrap rates, avoid costly rework, and deliver products that meet the highest industrial standards for our partners.
A couple of months ago, we were tasked with the design and production of a very complex three-dimensional roof construction, whose pipes are bent in multiple directions. Twyn enables us to check the overall geometry and completeness of the individual construction components without having to browse through multiple PDF files. This is especially true for complex structures. Multiple times, we were able to locate incorrectly welded plates and fix them, thus improving quality and fit accuracy while simultaneously avoiding expensive rework on construction sites.
With Twyn, we automate inspection and rework processes, leading to lower associated costs.
Automotive
Twyn technology is a very useful software solution when used in the machine production of pressing tools. Twyn is suitable for checking the tool before starting the pressing process. It simply checks all components of the pressing tool.
Even a youthful organization like Sigma Motor, a motorsport company based in Přerov (Czech Republic), is now using AR and digital twins to visually inspect their race vehicles. Visometry’s AR-based visual quality inspection solution is used to check welded parts and brackets of their vehicles’ chassis.
Using Twyn, we are able to carry out the acceptance of fixtures for assembly production directly on-site and point out deviations from the drawings to the equipment manufacturer. This has made it possible to implement the first optimizations even before initial commissioning.
Train Manufacturing
Perfect suited for the inspection of large and complex welded parts right on-site, Twyn helps CZ LOKO avoid errors and optimize their manufacturing and assembly processes, reducing rework and transportation costs.
Checking the position of the holders and the attachments in the train car body.
Plant Construction
We use Twyn to support the setup of clamping fixtures in sheet metal manufacturing using augmented reality. Employees can directly superimpose the digital 3D model onto the real component and the associated clamping devices. This makes the correct positions, sequences, and distances immediately visible. This reduces setup errors, shortens setup times, and makes it easier to train new colleagues – a clear gain in efficiency and quality for our production.
AR inspection of the base frame of a complex system.
The goal is to check the parts with Twyn before welding. In this example, no inspection was performed because the part is quite simple. Nevertheless, it shows that even with simple parts, testing with Twyn is important.
We check our steel construction components to ensure all attachments are complete.
The Kitzmann company uses Twyn, for example, to check frames or racks in the tack-welded state before they are completely welded.
The photo shows the steel structure of the tower and its pre-assembly for our internal inspection so that we can pick out all the flaws. We use Twyn for output but also for production control as you can see in the photo.
Agricultural Machinery
Unfortunately, a single image does not do justice to the application of Twyn at Krone. It is not only the user-friendliness, but also the direct display of detected errors combined with report generation, and all of this on site. Colleagues from a wide variety of departments are familiar with the system and rely on us in quality assurance. We use Twyn daily in the following areas: QA incoming goods inspection: completeness checks, change checks, checking free-form assemblies. QA analysis: fault detection on assembly units, machines. Assembly: checking and documenting settings. Work preparation: setting up different devices. Suppliers: preliminary acceptance of welded assemblies.
Thanks to our cooperation with AYES, we were able to implement 3D model–based digital quality inspection, which allows us to detect defects faster before assembly.
Not only has the product quality improved, but the logistics processes have also been optimized: after the introduction of Twyn, it was no longer necessary to bring parts and components to the quality control area because operators can carry out inspections directly where components are delivered.
Aerospace
At Mubea Aerostructures Ltd., we use the Twyn software to inspect aircraft parts. It is a major step in the development of our company that we have managed to integrate this system into our production area and can now use it effectively to inspect both finished products and individual parts.
Here you can see a bracket on a pre-assembled frame. You can see that the marked drill holes are on the wrong side. The reason for this is that there is a left and a right bracket. The fact that the brackets were mounted on the wrong side was quickly identified and corrected with the help of Twyn. We would have lost a lot of time correcting this error later in the assembly process.
Manufacturing Industry
We use Twyn to validate the positioning and the overall bill of materials (BOM) of our assemblies. Very often, Twyn helps us prevent mistakes that would otherwise cost us a significant amount of time to fix. It is an important part of our quality system, especially for large assemblies such as this 100-foot-long tube.
Twyn supports our inspection workflow by enabling fast comparison between real parts and their 3D models. This allows us to detect deviations early.
Twyn: A particularly useful tool, especially when inspecting parts with many components.
Machinery Manufacturing
Twyn helps us accelerate the assembly of our components. With augmented reality‑based inspection, we can compare the real part to its 3D model in seconds. Therefore, we immediately detect deviations in geometries, directly on the shop floor. We also use Twyn to evaluate entire welded assemblies for potential welding distortion, giving us a faster, more reliable and visual way to ensure quality across the whole part.
Construction Machinery
We have integrated Twyn into our inspection process before and after welding and the results have been remarkable. The system consistently identified issues that were overlooked during manual checks, ensuring a higher level of accuracy and reliability. Moreover, once our team became proficient with the tool, inspection times were reduced by up to 90% compared to traditional manual methods. Twyn has significantly enhanced both the efficiency and quality of our inspection workflow.
Timber Construction
We use Twyn to inspect various steel parts for our wood connectors. In this case, we are inspecting “stars” for a dome construction. Twyn is a great help here: it simplifies the inspection.
