Digital Worker Assistance: Navigation for Employees in the Production of the Future

PROFACTOR develops assistance systems that function like navigation devices for manufacturing.

Work steps are visualized directly in the employee’s workspace — precise, flexible, and unobtrusive.

• Easier – new processes can be learned quickly
• Faster – fewer errors, shorter process times
• Better – automated quality control and documentation

For Lot Size 1 and High-Mix Production

Our technologies are specifically designed for highly variant production environments.

Successfully deployed in the furniture and metal industries as well as in the production of safety equipment.

Application Areas

• Setup – Visualization of fixture positions in the workspace through projection, allowing workers to immediately know where and what to do.
• Inspection – Projection of inspection criteria directly onto the workpiece; deviations can be identified and controlled by employees.
• Measurement – Integration of simple digital measuring tools such as calipers.
• Assembly – Camera-based assembly instructions and step-by-step guidance directly on the component.
• Commissioning / Picking – Color-coded instructions on components or workstations accelerate sorting and assignment during packaging, cutting, or processing.
