AI guidance for industrial workers

An AI-based system that gives industrial workers real-time, step-by-step guidance through smart body cameras. It detects errors automatically, reduces downtime, and helps workers carry out complex tasks safely and efficiently.

Why

Complex industrial tasks leave little room for mistakes: a missed step or a wrong part can mean rework, stopped machines, or a safety risk. Instructions on paper or on a screen are easy to lose track of while working with both hands. The project brings guidance to the worker, at the moment and in the place it is needed.

What the system does

  • Step-by-step guidance

    Workers are guided through each step of a task, in real time, while they perform it.

  • Automatic error detection

    The system notices when something goes wrong, so it can be corrected before it causes damage.

  • Less downtime

    Fewer errors and less hesitation mean machines and lines stop less often.

  • Safe execution

    Complex tasks are carried out safely and efficiently, including by less experienced workers.

How it works

Workers wear a smart body camera that sees what they are doing. Computer vision and AI follow the progress of the task from these images, give the next instruction, and flag errors as they happen.

Our role

The project is carried out with RimonTech, a start-up based in Zurich. At AppiTech, computer vision engineer Maxvell Arulraj works on the project.
