Live demo
Engine A on a real device: searching for the part, fitting the blue CAD outline over it and snapping into a lock. This is an early-prototype recording; footage of typical production parts will follow.
3-in-1 suite
Author the inspection plan in Studio, run it on the iPad, review and archive in the browser. Same project package, same schema.
Import STEP, auto-decimate and generate the tracking model; pick reference parts, click the model to add checkpoints, attach documents; publish a versioned project package.
Auto-snap alignment, step-by-step guidance, one-tap OK / NOK, photo mark-up, voice notes and dimension screening; PDF on session end, fully offline, syncs when online.
Locate checkpoints in the fixed-version model, compare criteria, photos and original / reviewed results, generate standard reports and track reinspections. Customer templates and MES receipt rules require implementation testing.
The workflow in 60 seconds
Fit the blue outline over the part. Markerless, guided by a preset start pose; it snaps when the match is good enough.
Alignment quality is checked against edge and depth evidence. Insufficient evidence produces a degraded-quality prompt for operator review.
Review the expected parts step by step. The inspector confirms OK / NOK, with annotated photos, notes and dimensional screening as evidence.
End the session and the iPad generates the PDF. Fully offline; syncs to the plant server when a connection is available.
This is an integration prototype. Available software, capabilities requiring site validation and planned work are distinguished below. A pilot is assessed against agreed parts, versions and acceptance records.
| Capability | Current status | Confirm during the pilot |
|---|---|---|
| Studio authoring, version publishing and browser review | Available · integration prototype | Acceptance criteria, access scope, fixed-version reports and reinspection workflow |
| iPad alignment, tracking and offline retry | Validate on actual parts | Device and app version, lighting, distance, occlusion, repeated geometry and reconnect behavior |
| AR dimensional screening | Assistance · human confirmation required | Compare against calibrated instruments; not a substitute for metrology |
| MES webhooks and private deployment | Interfaces available · integration required | Network, authentication, event idempotency keys, receipts and correction events |
| ARKit reference objects / GPU stations | Use-case validation required | Reference training, GPU configuration and station network |
| Third-party engine bridge, two-way MES orders | Reserved / planned | Outside the current standard delivery; agree scope separately |
Initialization, drift and frame-rate figures on this site are pilot targets or illustrations, not fleet acceptance results. Measurements must record part, device, distance, lighting, occlusion, software version, sample size and failures.
Static rigid parts, complete CAD matching the actual revision, stable distinguishable reference geometry, and visible missing, misassembled or incorrectly counted attachments.
Specular, transparent, low-texture or repetitive surfaces, severe occlusion and look-alike parts need evaluation. Record dimensions, working distance and target defect size on site; do not assume a universal accuracy.
Moving or deformable parts, hidden internal defects, safety interlocks, unattended release, regulated metrology or non-destructive testing. Evaluate suitable alternatives for these requirements.
The existing device video demonstrates prototype alignment and locking only. The four scenarios below use synthetic data to explain the workflow. They are not customer cases, field benchmarks or acceptance endorsements.
More than drawing CAD over a camera feed
TrackingEngine C ABI · one interface · world frame world_from_modelIn-house tracking is the main path. ARKit reference objects and GPU stations require use-case validation; the third-party bridge is reserved, not integrated.
Combines edge and depth evidence and reports degraded quality when evidence is insufficient. Validate false-lock risk on repetitive structures and similar parts.
Reference parts determine alignment while inspection parts are checked separately, reducing interference from missing parts.
Pose is maintained in the ARKit world frame. Recheck the overlay after losing sight or quality; occlusion and relocalization still need site testing.
Point-to-point distance or deviation from the CAD face, judged against nominal ± tolerance.
Inspect, photograph and report fully offline; syncs automatically when online.
Tracking loss, failed initialization and thermal events can trigger diagnostics. Replay and simulation tools help reproduce issues; regression frequency and coverage depend on actual test records.

This prototype has not completed a head-to-head acceptance test with Twyn / SuPAR. Compare the same parts, viewpoints and reference measurements rather than marketing figures.
What goes in the contract
01Overlays and LiDAR values are for screening and guidance; the pass / fail verdict is the inspector’s.
02When the fit degrades we show it — no forcing the overlay to look good.
03Every number is labelled target or measured; side-by-side comparisons on your floor are welcome.

No. Stand at the preset start pose, fit the blue outline over the part and it snaps; manual placement and ARKit reference-object recognition are also available.
No, and it shouldn’t. It performs visual conformity checks and screening: missing, wrong, mis-oriented or clearly misplaced parts. Metrology verdicts stay with gauges and inspectors; engineering targets are listed under “What goes in the contract”.
STEP → import in Studio (tracking model generated automatically) → pick reference parts, author checkpoints → publish. The default engine needs no training and there is no per-model licence.
Current import supports STEP / STP and IGES / IGS. Convert other formats first; native JT / CATIA import is not available.
The web version opens from “Open Studio” in the top-right corner, hosted on your plant server; the desktop app (macOS / Windows / Linux) is distributed by the implementation team.
An in-house, pluggable engine with no per-model licence; diagnostics and replay as first-class citizens; open data formats and transparent acceptance criteria.

About 60 minutes: import the model, author 3 checkpoints, align and lock on the iPad, run an inspection, generate a report with photos. Feel free to put Twyn / SuPAR on the same station.
