Quality Assurance with Smart Glasses

Use Cases:

Real Time Inspection Checklists

  • Hands-free, step-by-step digital checklists with live validation.

  • Visual overlays of correct component orientations.

  • Real-time flagging of missed steps or out-of-sequence actions via AR prompts.

Visual Comparison with CAD Models

  • Overlay of 3D CAD models directly onto the physical product.

  • Deviation detection using computer vision (eg misaligned holes or excess material).

  • Colour-coded alerts showing tolerance violations.

Remote Expert Assistance

  • Live video streaming to remote QA engineers or supervisors for discrepancy discussion etc.

  • Annotation on the inspector’s visual field to guide resolution.

  • Automatic logging of the session for audit and training.

Defect Recognition via Computer Vision

  • Onboard or connected AI to detect anomalies such as micro-cracks or surface defects on machined parts.

  • Automatic defect classification and severity scoring.

  • Suggested corrective action or rework instructions displayed in view.

Barcode and QR Code Scanning

  • Integrated scanner functionality via camera to verify part serial numbers etc.

  • Instant access to linked QA data (material certification, test results.)

  • Alert if an incorrect part is installed or checked.

Automated Documentation Capture

  • Hands-free photo and video capture tied to inspection tasks.

  • Voice-to-text annotation for observations such as completing end-of-line inspection.

  • Auto-sync with QA database or ERP system.

Training and Procedural Guidance

  • AR overlays showing tool positions and correct torque values.

  • Live coaching or simulation modules.

  • Performance tracking for training validation.

Environmental Condition Monitoring

  • Real-time overlays of temperature, humidity and particle count for sensitive electronics assembly.

  • Alerts when thresholds are exceeded.

  • Logging of environment conditions for traceability.

Checklists with Real-time Compliance Feedback

  • Integrated QA software that tracks and verifies that all regulatory or ISO-compliant steps were followed.

  • Prompts for corrective action if criteria are not met.

  • Time-stamped logs for audit trails.

Live Production Analytics and Alerts

  • Visual dashboards displaying SPC (Statistical Process Control) metrics.

  • Alerts on nonconformity trends or process drift affecting part quality during batch production.

  • Drill-down access to machine-level performance data or part failure rates.
