2 TRANSFORMING COMPOSITE FABRICATION The Only Complete Fabrication Management Solution for Composites ALIGNED VISION (formerly Assembly Guidance), the pioneer of industrial laser projection, now offers an end-to-end solution that extends automation throughout the fabrication cycle. Our customers enjoy: ACCELERATED THROUGHPUT Operators stay at the tool, on task, with complete electronic work instructions, and without waiting for the inspector. CONSISTENT AS-BUILT QUALITY Automatic inspection and electronic process control add up to unparalleled consistency. LIFETIME TRACEABILITY Our solution generates a digital twin of each component, as built, including ply-by-ply images and build data. CLOSED LOOP QUALITY IMPROVEMENT As-built data fed back to the design and manufacturing engineers facilitates IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and smart-factory implementation. BENEFITS FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS Collaborating with composite fabrication leaders, Aligned Vision has developed solutions that produce returns across the product lifecycle. EXECUTIVES gain repeat business, satisfied customers, and a healthier profit and loss statement. MANAGERS gain new tools and methods for streamlining fabrication and raising production rates. ENGINEERS gain confidence that components are built rigorously in accordance with their designs and specifications. OPERATORS gain clear and easy-to-use guidance for each task of each build.
