Case Study: L3Harris Technologies eliminates assembly defects with LightGuide AR software

Leading Aerospace and Defense Manufacturer Eliminates Defects with AR Technology

L3Harris Technologies, a leading aerospace and defense manufacturer, faced the challenge of managing immense product variation and complexity while needing to eliminate all assembly-related defects. To enhance quality and reduce the margin for error in its complex manual assembly processes, the company turned to LightGuide for a solution utilizing their augmented reality (AR) software.

LightGuide implemented its AR technology to provide projected, real-time work instructions that guide operators through each step of the assembly process. The system uses barcode scans to identify product variants and prevents errors by alerting operators to any mistakes. This solution eliminated changeover time for different product variants and resulted in zero assembly-related defects on one line. The success led L3Harris to deploy LightGuide's software at multiple locations to streamline operations and enable data-driven decisions.
