Build a work instruction once. Keep it right on every workstation.
Products change, variants multiply and paper instructions fall behind. Arkite gives process engineers one no-code environment to author, validate and deploy guided jobs, and to change them centrally.
What process engineers tell us.
Our work instructions are outdated the moment the product changes.
Document maintenance
Every new variant means another document to create and maintain.
Variant complexity
I write the procedure, but I cannot see if it is followed on the floor.
Process compliance
Translating instructions for every language on the line takes days.
Multilingual workforce
Four engineering problems, and what changes with Arkite.
01Change an instruction once, and every station has it.
- Today
- Instructions sit in documents at each station, and every change means walking the line.
- With Arkite
- You build jobs in the no-code editor on your own PC. After approval, the new version is available on every workstation that needs it.
02One job for all variants, not a copy per variant.
- Today
- Every variant becomes its own document, and the copies drift apart.
- With Arkite
- Options such as color, size or extra parts combine into variants. Shared steps are written once, so one change updates every variant.
03See that your procedure is really followed.
- Today
- You write the procedure, but you cannot see whether it is followed on the floor.
- With Arkite
- You teach the 3D sensor what a correct pick, part or tool action looks like. The workstation then checks every step you defined.
04A first draft of a new job in minutes.
- Today
- Creating and translating a new job takes longer than the change itself.
- With Arkite
- Arkite AI drafts the job and its steps from a written description and translates the texts. You review and finalize it. AI is optional and off by default.
Less document work, more process improvement.
- Down
Time to create a job
A first draft from text, refined in the no-code editor.
- Down
Document maintenance
Shared steps and reusable tasks instead of copies.
- Down
Instruction errors
One released version on every station.
- Up
Process compliance
Every step validated against what you defined.
- Up
Insight per step
Durations and errors show which step to improve.
- Up
Language coverage
Instructions in every language your operators need.
The size of each effect depends on your process. It is measured on your own pilot workstation.
From procedure to production job.
- 01
Define the job
An assembly, a kitting task or an inspection. Jobs can be created in Arkite or pushed from the MES through the API.
- 02
Teach the detections
Mark picking bins, parts, tools and virtual buttons on the sensor image. A projection with the best fitting shape and a text instruction are generated automatically.
- 03
Build the steps
Structure numbered steps and sub-assemblies, and add text, images, video and icons. Photos and videos can be sent from an Android phone with the Arkite Companion app.
- 04
Add logic
Conditions, loops, variants, variables and communication with external systems such as smart tools, PLCs and MES.
- 05
Test and release
Run the job from an editor, move it through Draft, Review and Production, and publish it to the target workstations.
Questions from engineers
How long does it take to learn the software?
Process engineers typically build and publish projects independently after approximately two days of training. Arkite Academy adds online modules on setup, software essentials and connectivity.
What does AI job generation produce?
Based on a written description of the assembly, the software generates the job, job options, materials, detections and job steps. The engineer then reviews and finalizes the result. The integration uses OpenAI or Anthropic with your own key, is optional and is disabled by default.
Do AI detections need an internet connection?
No. The AI detection algorithms for the Vision sensor are included in the Arkite VISION license and run locally on the workstation. They give reliable, stable results, even when the sensor shifts slightly. Teaching works as before: a reference image and an expected result.
Can AI translate our projects?
Yes. With the optional AI integration, all instructions and texts are translated automatically from the default language: per field, for all empty fields or for the entire project at once.
Can a job be reused on another workstation?
Yes. When the same project is opened on another workstation, the software offers to copy the data from the original one. A fine-tuning calibration aligns the projector and sensors on the new station.
