Twyn accelerates tracking initialisation by allowing you to save anchor poses in a tracking cache.  

In addition to the initial pose, these anchor poses act as entry points to start tracking. They are easily and automatically generated during the inspection. Once saved, the tracking cache is automatically applied to all new sessions within the same inspection project.

Using the tablet’s camera, the vision-based automatic deviation detection supports users during inspections. In AR, deviations are automatically highlighted with different colours, such as when attachment parts are misaligned or drill holes are not in their correct position.

New in 2.3: To speed up your quality inspection sessions, the automatic creation of inspection points is highly beneficial.  

In addition to manual creation, this feature greatly simplifies project configuration, particularly when numerous elements like bolts or screws need inspection. You can now create inspection points and group them into optimal inspection views, further streamlining your quality control process.

The lens tool allows users to easily zoom in on large or complex objects, enabling detailed inspection of small features or hard-to-reach areas. Interactive clipping and other viewing options offer a simple visual comparison between the target and the actual object in AR, ensuring a fast yet thorough inspection.

New in 2.3: The top-tier CAD rendering makes every detail, including construction lines, clearly visible. Enhanced edge visualisation ensures you never miss a detail during quality inspections.

For repetitive inspections or complex routines, Twyn offers valuable support with step-by-step instructions in the form of detailed checklists.  

This guarantees consistent procedures, results, and documentation, regardless of the users’ experience level.

Scheduling quality inspection sessions should be as flexible as possible.  

With the new “Pause and Resume” feature, sessions can be paused and resumed exactly where they left off, ensuring no loss of information or impact on previously captured data. This is a key improvement that helps companies plan and carry out quality inspection activities in a way that fully aligns with their organisational needs.

Visual indicators use 3D pointers to mark and highlight key points of interest, making inspections of complex assemblies easier by guiding users to critical features. This method ensures consistent results and standardised inspection documentation.

Twyn enables detailed documentation of quality inspection results. Markups and annotations improve traceability and enhance communication between quality, production, and construction teams.  

Additionally, with the camera always ready, Twyn allows for the capture of images of key features, supporting efficient and thorough reporting.

Branded and customisable reports offer clear summaries of inspection results. They can be exported in multiple formats (e.g., XLS, CSV, or PDF) and easily shared with quality and production teams, as well as suppliers.

With Twyn Studio, quality managers and inspectors at different Twyn workstations, even remotely, can access a shared database and exchange individual project files.  

This eliminates redundancy and duplication. Inspection data can be effortlessly exported from Twyn Studio and imported into Twyn View remotely, ensuring smooth project transfers and consistent procedures across locations.

Additionally, Twyn allows organisations to share inspection results in various formats and supports multiple channels, including cloud, Microsoft Teams, and email.  

This enables different stakeholders to share data seamlessly, regardless of their IT infrastructure, providing maximum flexibility and control over content sharing.

Effective CAD visualisation is essential for clear and precise part inspection with AR.  

Twyn Studio and View now support CAD colours, offering companies the flexibility to customise and select the best visualisations for their inspection processes and sessions.  

Even during on-site inspections, specific colours can be assigned to different parts, with contours displayed in varying colours, widths, and intensities. For example, in an automotive assembly, components from different suppliers can be visualised in distinct colours, making it easier to compare nominal data with the manufactured parts.  

Additionally, the use of CAD colours not only helps distinguish objects but also aids in linking and sharing additional part information, such as material specifications.

Complex CAD models can make inspections time-consuming, costly, and challenging, often requiring multiple software platforms.  

Twyn simplifies this by allowing users to prepare, simplify, and optimise CAD structures, removing irrelevant details for inspection routines.  

This streamlines and accelerates quality inspections, particularly for intricate parts.  

Twyn’s CAD data is optimised for mobile devices, requiring minimal setup time, so quality inspectors can immediately focus on their tasks. All procedures are managed directly within Twyn Studio, eliminating the need for additional software.

Deviations from product specifications and machining errors can lead to delays, failures, and expensive returns.  

Twyn systematically inspects components based on specific plans before mass production begins. Using predefined checklists, it digitally documents inspection results and verifies part conformity. This guarantees that new or modified manufacturing processes consistently produce parts that meet the required standards.

Efficient tools for part processing and assembly are essential in industrial manufacturing to ensure components meet specified requirements. These tools are often custom-designed, complex, and costly to produce, requiring multiple iterations before finalisation.  

Twyn’s flexibility and capability to virtually simulate different configurations in AR simplify these processes digitally, drastically reducing the number of necessary iterations.

AR and Twyn allow inspectors to digitally check the completeness of add-on parts and verify if engineering design drafts will fit within an assembly.  

This early detection of errors prevents costly delays, downtime, and rework by addressing issues before advancing to the next production stages. Additionally, various design variants can be assessed without creating physical prototypes, saving both time and resources.

Twyn enhances efficient quality inspection, improving cross-company collaboration and ensuring that manufactured components meet CAD specifications before shipment (outgoing inspection).  

Similarly, organisations can quickly identify parts from suppliers that do not match CAD specifications (incoming inspection), allowing production errors to be detected early.

With Twyn, operators can conduct quality inspections directly at the location where components are manufactured or stored.  

This feature is especially valuable for large parts and components, which are difficult to transport to measurement rooms or test areas or inspect with fixed inspection solutions.

Twyn’s ability to verify parts against CAD specifications makes it easier to implement quality gates throughout the production process.  

This enables the early detection of errors, preventing costly downtime and rework.

Twyn is utilised to ensure that car body frames have all their geometric features, such as welding points and studs, accurately positioned.  

This step is crucial, serving as the foundation for the smooth integration of trims (e.g., door locks, handles, electronic components, and seats), chassis sub-assemblies, and the engine.

Jigs and fixtures are vital tools in manufacturing, requiring precise positioning and alignment to ensure reliable machining.  

Twyn simplifies this process by enabling real-time, digital verification and adjustment of alignments, helping companies avoid costly errors and rework during machining operations

Twyn aids in visualising and evaluating ideas and prototypes before they become final products.  

This helps manufacturers reduce unnecessary iterations, saving both time and money by minimising the need for physical prototypes and products.

Twyn supports various maintenance practices and audit requirements to keep equipment, devices, and machinery in optimal working condition.  

By comparing the target state with the actual state, it allows for the quick and intuitive identification of errors, enabling efficient repairs, replacements, and servicing.
