    💡 Did you know? Cars can have 2.5 miles of wires, and planes can have over 150! Imagine building this intricate system of wires by hand while deciphering printed diagrams and instructions. That's the reality for many skilled workers assembling wire harnesses today. But, what if there was a better way? Watch how projected #augmentedreality (AR) work instructions are error-proofing and streamlining manual wire harness and cable processes. Interested in learning more? ➡️ Read the full case study on our website: https://bit.ly/3P8q0Jp ➡️ Join us at The Battery Show in Detroit, MI October 7-10 at booth 2404 to experience how this game-changing technology: EMPOWERS WORKERS No more deciphering complex diagrams or misplacing wires! Overlay digital work instructions, diagrams, and real-time feedback directly onto work surfaces to guide operators through complex tasks. INCREASES ACCURACY & EFFICIENCY Standardize, streamline, and error-proof complex manual processes to boost productivity and throughput while reducing scrap and rework. ENHANCES TRAINING Train, upskill, and cross-train employees with interactive, on-the-job guidance that helps workers learn skills more quickly and effectively. #smartmanufacturing #digitalmanufacturing #Industry40 #smartfactory

    Did you know the average modern #automotive car has over 𝟐.𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞 compared to 30 years ago that had maybe 100 feet? Today building a #wireharness is still a heavily manual process that requires #skilledworkers. Often when building a wire harness there is a diagram or printed paper workers have to follow when gathering all the correct materials and then placing wires and labels. This process can take a long time and also result in a lot of scrap or missed steps. LightGuide designed this #ProjectedAR solution for Lightning eMotors which helped decrease up to 50% of the original build times and training time for workers was reduced by 75%.
