AR Work Instructions and AI-Enhanced Inspection
Vuforia Expert Capture helps manufacturers turn expert knowledge and product data into clear, repeatable frontline guidance. Teams can create augmented reality work instructions, incorporate 3D CAD content, and deliver the right information at the point of work.
Your Most Valuable Asset? Your Front Line Workers!
Vuforia Expert Capture is the fastest and easiest way to document and share your expert employees’ years of knowledge with your broader frontline workers. With the Vuforia Capture app, your tenured subject matter experts can capture step-by-step procedures and best practices as they work—then transform those insights into reusable process documents, job aids, and training materials.
Improve setup and changeover, streamline equipment assembly and maintenance, and modernize employee training. With Expert Capture’s digital work instructions and augmented reality guidance, setup and changeover can be improved, equipment assembly can be streamlined, and employee training can be modernized using any mobile device, eyewear device, or HoloLens.
Turn Expert Knowledge into Repeatable Guidance
Expert Capture provides practical authoring, delivery, management, and reporting tools for industrial work instructions.
Capture Frontline Knowledge
Document the steps experienced employees use to complete assembly, inspection, maintenance, and service tasks. Subject matter experts can contribute process knowledge without relying on a specialized AR development team.
Create CAD-Based Instructions
Use 3D CAD content to show components, orientations, sequences, and points of attention. Visual guidance can make complex tasks easier to understand than text-only documentation.
Add AI-Enhanced Inspection with Step Check
Step Check uses AI and computer vision to evaluate supported inspection points and provide pass-or-fail feedback. It can help operators catch errors during the process rather than after work is complete.
Improve Frontline Performance
Vuforia Expert Capture helps your organization maintain a competitive advantage by harnessing the deep knowledge of your senior employees and making it available to your frontline workers in an easily accessible and consumable format. Through session recording and mobile capture capabilities, the application enables real-time knowledge transfer that reduces development efforts and accelerates time to productivity.
Increase Workforce Efficiency
Support Consistent Quality
Preserve Critical Knowledge
Reduce Operational Costs
Unlock the Value of Based AR Procedural Guidance
Vuforia Expert Capture enables you to digitize and optimize your critical workflows. With AR-enhanced procedures, your frontline workers can become more efficient and effective at even the most complex tasks.
Expert Capture simplifies the documentation process using eyewear device options and headset devices like HoloLens. Your experts can effortlessly capture step-by-step procedures while carrying out their work, using voice commands and motions to keep their hands free and their eyes on the job. Session recording capabilities make it easy to document any procedure in real time..
Using the Vuforia Capture app and the Vuforia Editor module, subject matter experts can easily create step-by-step, contextual instructions that can be published across various device formats—mobile phones, tablets, digital eyewear, web, and even Word documents. The intuitive user interface streamlines authoring so experts can focus on content rather than technology, while model target and area target features enable spatial awareness for complex environments.
The Vuforia Vantage app helps employees find and execute procedures efficiently by enabling them to navigate through their library and favorite frequently used procedures quickly. Workers can scan a QR code to instantly access relevant work instructions tied to specific assets, equipment, or work order requirements.
With the Vuforia Vantage app, you can ensure users complete each step accurately by requiring step check verification before allowing them to move forward. This step completion validation—along with feedback image capture—creates comprehensive documentation for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
Expert Capture’s Insights module enables key stakeholders to stay in sync with usage activity from the shop floor or the field, ensuring traceability for audit and compliance purposes and driving continuous improvement. Real-time dashboards provide visibility into procedure execution, user engagement, and training effectiveness.
