Case Study: Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems achieves faster, more accurate submarine assembly with Hololight Space

Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems Uses AR in Manufacturing

thyssenkrupp Marine Systems faced the challenge of positioning and verifying thousands of components during complex submarine assembly. Their error-prone, paper-based 2D processes for measurement and quality control were time-consuming. The company partnered with Hololight to address this.

Hololight implemented its Hololight Space solution, an AR software used on-site with certified headsets. This allowed engineers to overlay and precisely align virtual 3D models onto the physical environment for guided assembly and target/actual comparison. The result for thyssenkrupp was a significantly shorter assembly process with fewer manual errors, leading to a measurably more economical planning and installation workflow.
