Digital work instructions directly on the part. Fewer errors, faster operator training, and better traceability of production operations.
DELMIA Augmented Experience

Operators make mistakes.
You pay for rework. That can change.

Up to 60% higher productivity. Preparation reduced from 2 hours to a few minutes. 100% correct on the first try.

These are not marketing numbers from a presentation; they are real results from customers in the aerospace, automotive, and engineering industries who have implemented AR into their regular operations.

Operational Reality

Are you struggling with these problems in your production?

Error rates in complex assemblies

Paper documentation is unclear, and operators make mistakes that cost thousands of euros.

Slow training

A new employee needs weeks before they can work independently and without errors.

Endless inspection processes

Manual quality control is a bottleneck in your production and lacks proper traceability.

Gap between engineering and the shop floor

Your expensive 3D models end up printed on paper, where they lose context.

Our Solution

A digital assistant that guides the operator's hand

Instead of a drawing in hand, the operator receives digital instructions directly on the part, via tablet, camera, projection, or smart glasses. They see exactly where each element belongs, in what order, and with what parameters. The system also records what has been done and automatically generates an inspection report.

No guessing. No converting 2D drawings into 3D reality in the operator's head. Just clear, interactive step-by-step instructions.

DELMIA Augmented Experience for assembly and quality control

DELMIA Augmented Experience is an augmented reality solution for assembly and quality control in production. Digital work instructions from a 3D model are displayed directly on the actual part via tablet, projection system, industrial camera, or smart glasses.

Digital instructionsThe operator is guided step by step through the entire assembly or inspection process.
Operational dataThe system collects data on the work performed and supports better traceability.
Automatic reportsQuality outputs are generated directly from the performed operations.

Technology

It’s not just an AR application that displays something

DELMIA Augmented Experience uses proprietary tracking technology that connects the 3D model with the real part without markers and target tags. It allows for precise overlay in real-time even with variable configurations.

Thanks to AI, tracking initialization is quick, and the system can automatically detect discrepancies. Not just display them, but actually check them. Unlike most 3D visualization tools, the solution is fully interactive. The operator not only sees but also directly interacts with the digital data.

Markerless tracking and AI inspection
How it works

Collaboration takes place in clear steps

01

Consultation

We will clarify together what exactly you want to use AR for and where it has the greatest potential.

02

Price offer

You will receive a specific proposal for a solution and pricing tailored to your case.

03

Three-month pilot project

We will verify the real benefits directly in your operation, with minimal risk.

04

Incorporation of requirements

After the pilot, we will fine-tune the solution exactly according to your needs.

05

Deployment into operation

We will prepare the solution for regular operation and further development.

Why this solution

Technology, hardware, integration, and support in one deployable solution

The solution makes sense where mistakes cost money

High variability of configurations, paper instructions, manual inspection, and pressure for fast operator training.

01
More than 30 years of experience

TECHNODAT has extensive experience in industrial technologies and support for technical teams.

02
Compatibility with a variety of hardware

Tablets, projection systems, industrial cameras, and smart glasses. You are not tied to one type of device.

03
Interoperability with your systems

Possible integration with existing information systems, including MES.

04
Proven deployments in operation

The solution has a real operational history in aerospace, automotive, and engineering.

05
Technical support even after deployment

Even years after launch, you have someone to address operational issues and further development.

Pilot verification

First, verify the benefits. Then scale the solution.

Investing in new technology does not have to be a blind decision. The process starts with a three-month pilot project on a standard solution. You will verify real benefits directly in your production, on your parts, and with your people.

Only based on the results from the pilot is the solution customized and scaled to full operation. No commitments for years ahead without first seeing that the solution works for you.

What customers say after deployment

“Thanks to the projection system, operators see exactly where each console belongs directly on the frame. The error rate has significantly decreased, and the comfort of work during assembly has improved.”

Truck manufacturer

“Contextualized instructions during the incoming inspection of landing gear have shortened our inspection time, reduced rework, and sped up the onboarding of new technicians.”

Deployment in practice

Two situations where AR changes work directly on the shop floor

01 Projection system on the assembly line

Truck manufacturer

Challenge

Operators had 2 minutes to assemble multiple consoles on the frame before switching to the next configuration, with high variability of parts.

Solution

Digital instructions projected directly onto the frame using a projection system.

Result

Significantly lower error rate, better ergonomics, and higher comfort of work for operators.

02 Tablet instructions for incoming inspection

Safran Landing Systems

Challenge

Complex incoming inspection with high variability of configurations and paper documentation prone to errors.

Solution

Tablet with step-by-step instructions overlaid on a 3D model.

Result

Higher productivity, shorter inspection times, better traceability, and higher quality communication with the customer.

Who is the solution suitable for

AR has the greatest benefits where there is high variability and high cost of error

This is for you if

  • you manufacture complex products with high variability of configurations
  • assembly or quality control still relies on paper drawings or templates
  • you deal with high costs of rework, claims, or non-conforming parts
  • you need to speed up the onboarding of new operators due to a labor shortage
  • you want better traceability and documentation of production and inspection operations

This is not for you if

  • you have simple and low-variability production without risk of errors during assembly
  • you are not interested in investing time in a three-month pilot verification before full deployment

Your production does not have to wait for the next mistake.

Schedule a non-binding consultation and find out how much more accurate, faster, and cheaper production can be with DELMIA Augmented Experience.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about DELMIA Augmented Experience

How long does it take to see the first results?
The pilot project lasts 3 months and is designed specifically for you to verify the benefits in real operation before deciding on full deployment.
Do we need special hardware?
Not necessarily. The solution works with tablets, projection systems, industrial cameras, and smart glasses. We will choose what fits your operational context.
Can it be connected to our existing MES system?
Yes, interoperability with existing information systems, including MES, is part of the solution.
Does it work with very variable configurations of parts?
Yes. Especially with high variability of configurations in aerospace or automotive, the solution brings the greatest benefits, as it eliminates the need for paper templates with every change.
What exactly do we get after the pilot project?
Real data and results from your own production, based on which you will decide on customization and full deployment of the solution.
How long does it take to train operators?
Training is part of the collaboration and is free. Customers typically report a 50% faster skill ramp-up compared to the traditional approach.
What if we find out after the pilot that it doesn't fit our case exactly?
That’s exactly why the pilot exists. It is a space for verification and fine-tuning, not a commitment to full deployment in advance.
