Visometry’s Twyn 2.6

Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to improve quality, reduce rework, and maintain production efficiency. As a result, digital inspection technologies that support faster and more consistent decision-making are becoming an increasingly important part of modern quality control processes.

The latest release of Visometry’s Twyn platform, version 2.6, introduces a range of new features designed to make augmented reality (AR)-based inspection workflows more intuitive, flexible, and efficient for users on the shop floor.

Bringing Digital Inspection Closer to Production

Twyn enables manufacturers to compare physical components directly against CAD models and digital twins using augmented reality. Running on a tablet, the platform overlays digital design data onto real-world parts, allowing operators and quality teams to identify deviations quickly and perform inspections directly within the production environment.

By reducing reliance on traditional inspection setups and enabling faster visual validation, Twyn helps organisations streamline quality processes and identify potential issues earlier in the manufacturing cycle.

What’s New in Twyn 2.6?

The latest software release focuses on improving both inspection flexibility and user experience, helping manufacturers perform visual inspections more efficiently while reducing complexity on the shop floor.

Multimedia Attachments For More Informed Inspections

Quality inspections often require more than a simple pass or fail assessment. Operators may need access to drawings, work instructions, images, reports, or other supporting documentation to make informed decisions.

With Twyn 2.6, multimedia attachments can now be integrated directly into inspection projects. This allows relevant documents and visual references to be linked to specific inspection points, providing additional context exactly where it is needed. By keeping critical information within the inspection workflow, manufacturers can improve consistency, reduce ambiguity, and support more effective decision-making.

Fast Snap For Faster Alignment And Setup

Accurate alignment between CAD data and the physical component is essential for successful AR-based inspection. Twyn 2.6 introduces Fast Snap, a new feature designed to make this process quicker and more intuitive.

Fast Snap automatically generates multiple tracking positions around the initial alignment point, enabling the system to recognise and track the component more rapidly. This reduces the amount of manual adjustment required during setup and allows users to begin inspections sooner, improving efficiency and overall user experience.

Enhanced Navigation Assistant For Complex Inspections

Large assemblies and complex products can contain dozens or even hundreds of inspection points, making it challenging for operators to locate the correct inspection locations efficiently.

The enhanced Navigation Assistant in Twyn 2.6 provides improved visual guidance within the augmented reality environment, helping users navigate to inspection points more quickly and accurately. By simplifying movement through inspection workflows, the feature helps reduce inspection times while improving process consistency and repeatability.

Flexible Inspection Point Types For Greater Workflow Adaptability

Manufacturing quality processes often require more than binary pass/fail assessments. To support a wider range of inspection scenarios, Twyn 2.6 introduces additional inspection point types that allow users to capture observations and contextual information more effectively.

Alongside traditional inspection checks, users can now create “Check” and “Remark” points, making it easier to document observations, record notes, and highlight areas that may require further attention. This additional flexibility enables organisations to create inspection workflows that more closely reflect real-world quality requirements while improving reporting and traceability.

Supporting More Efficient Quality Control

As manufacturers continue to embrace digital transformation initiatives, technologies such as Twyn are helping bridge the gap between CAD data and physical production.

By combining augmented reality visualisation with digital inspection workflows, Twyn enables quality teams to perform inspections directly where parts are manufactured, assembled, or stored. This approach can help reduce inspection times, improve traceability, and support faster decisions regarding part acceptance, rework, or further measurement.

For organisations looking to improve quality assurance processes without introducing unnecessary complexity, the latest enhancements in Twyn 2.6 further strengthen the platform’s position as a practical tool for modern manufacturing environments.
