Case Study: Fastenal accelerates machinist training with Taqtile Manifest on iPad

Fastenal - Customer Case Study

Fastenal, a distributor of industrial and construction supplies, faced a challenge with lengthy and inconsistent machinist training that relied heavily on hands-on mentoring, which slowed down production and created variable outcomes. To address this, they partnered with Taqtile to implement its Manifest augmented reality work instructions platform.

The solution used Taqtile’s Manifest software on existing shop-floor iPads, providing machinists with intuitive, AR-enhanced guidance, videos, and schematics. This allowed Fastenal to dramatically accelerate onboarding, enabling new machinists to produce parts on their first day. The implementation by Taqtile standardized best practices, improved operational consistency, and enhanced the company's customer focus by enabling faster and more reliable service.
