Pick-by-Projection

Picking and Kitting applications can be challenging because these kits are often made of many different components. It is critical for quality that each kit is consisting of the right components to ensure that customers or the assembly station at the next stage of the production receive the correct and complete kit. Over the years the amount of customization (and product variants) has exploded, leading to additional complexity for operators.

Picking and kitting applications can be time consuming and can lead to human errors (forgetting items, wrong quantity, wrong items, etc.). Due to these human errors, quality is under pressure and costs for the manufacturer increase as inventory management becomes more challenging to maintain accurate.

To avoid this, a solution is required to validate and guide the operator.
The Pick-by-Projection solution by Arkite is supporting operators tremendously in their picking and kitting tasks. Projections with clear color indications on the bins and containers, supported by text instructions, pictures and videos, help operators to understand which item needs to be picked. Quantities can be clearly indicated to the operator.

The Arkite 3D Sensor will validate the operator’s actions and will alarm him) if a wrong action is done (the projected yellow color turns into red indicating an error). The sensor detects when a hand reaches into a bin. No buttons (physical or on a screen) need to be pushed by the operator to validate his actions. Because the 3D Sensor has seen the operator’s actions, the operator will automatically be guided in real time to his next picking task.

Arkite’s Pick-by-Projection solution speeds up the onboarding of new employees. The projection of colors, pictures, text instructions and quantities are easy to interpret.

Guiding I/O module assembly at Petersime

  • Step-by-step digital work instructions through projected AR
  • Supporting multiple product variants
  • Reducing picking and assembly errors
  • Training and supporting new operators

     

    Petersime was looking for a solution to support the operator during the assembly of an I/O module. The solution provides highly precise augmented reality projections on the workbench. The systems make it easier for new operators to perform complex tasks with a high variability. Arkite’s increases customer quality by reducing picking and assembly errors. An additional benefit for Petersime is our platform’s capability to train new operators.
