Error Proofing and Quality Control

Light Guide Systems™ (LGS) is a flexible, scalable, and portable product that can be applied to industries as diverse as automotive, medical, and electronics. Nearly any industry that relies on manual operations involving part selection, kitting, assembly, inspection, packaging, or maintenance to produce a high quality, low cost product can benefit from the value proposition offered by the LGS product.
This value proposition includes:

1. Error Proofing - World class manufacturers recognize the importance of building a product right the first time in order to avoid expensive costs downstream. Utilizing Visual Display Features (VDF), customers can self-program the appropriate operator guidance using a combination of text, color, and animation for each step within a part assembly cycle. As a software based product, LGS can be programmed to guide operators through the standardized steps involved in part selection, kitting, assembly, inspection, packaging, and maintenance required to produce a quality product. By replace written work instructions with an intelligent light guidance system, customers can realize dramatic improvements in quality and cost through the reduction of assembly errors and a "No Faults Forward" practice. For safety related applications, LGS can also be used to ensure that an approved operator sequence is followed each and every time with the appropriate confirmation after each step. 2. Productivity Improvement - LGS measures the cycle time required for each step of the process to be completed. This allows for a "real time" time study to be performed with each cycle. The stored data can then be analyzed for opportunities to reduce bottlenecks within the assembly cycle. 3. Flexibility - LGS can be applied to nearly any manual assembly workstation throughout a wide variety of industries. Light Guide Systems™ combines the best of operator intelligence and flexibility with the error proofing of standardized sequencing to drive improvements in quality, cost and productivity. The system also has the capability to project product blueprints and training video's directly onto the work surface. 4. Scalability - LGS can be scaled up to interface directly into the customers I/O plant environment or scaled down to act as a stand alone system. 5. Portability - LGS is portable enough that systems can be moved within a factory environment to solve problems that arise in various areas.
