The HIM (Human Interface Mate) system from ARKITE is a world-leading guided assembly system.

The system works from optical projections on the workstation, allowing the assembly processes to be directed and monitored, projecting the process steps to the operator in real time, transforming the workstations into a digital and interactive environment. It is the ultimate in Operator Guidance technology.

Unskilled operators can complete difficult tasks efficiently and accurately with no training required. HIM provides the employee with real-time collection and assembly instructions through Augmented Reality and intuitively monitors when errors occur. The smart sensor validates the correct execution of collection and assembly tasks, ensuring qualitative performance mitigating human errors.

The technology is innovative, makes the process error-free during its execution, contributing not only to increasing efficiency, but also improving the flexibility and quality of the assembly processes.

Manuals, checklists or handwritten protocols are now a thing of the past!

HIM is able to integrate with customer process such as smart tools, co-bots, MES and ERP, business systems and more for maximum efficiency and performance. At any time, real-time feedback can be generated from the HIM unit. These smart integrations allow you to include your existing workstation environment and secure key aspects of the process. Due to the user-friendly interface of the HIM software, engineers can create a project with little programming knowledge.

Flexible production:

With Human Interface Mate create a flexible multifunctional assembly line. All operators work in the same way in a standardized way. All process steps will be validated and recorded for quality assurance. There is an easy integration of temporary workforce – leaner production – and the base workforce.

Training:

Programmed for training, you may see a learning curve compared to traditional methods higher by up to 50%. It is no longer necessary to assign a coordinator or supervisor to train. Less educated workers can perform more complex tasks with HIM Guidance. You can reduce scrap and rework during assembly processes.

Benefits:

• It applies to any type of industry;
• It has communication with ERP and SAP systems and allows interaction with PLC`s;
• It can be integrated with smart hand tools to block activities when there is an error, such as screwdrivers, torque wrenches, etc;
• Transforms workstations into digital and interactive environments, certifying the quality of activities carried out at the workplace;
• Enables production control such as cycle times and logistical supply of the workstation;
• It works by guiding the operator at the work station;
• Can be used for operational training;
• It has flexibility and can be applied to a multitude of needs;
• An innovative augmented reality technology without the use of mobile devices (glasses, tablet or cell phone);
• It is a novelty in Brazil, it went on sale in Jan/2022 with representation and distribution in Brazil by Virtuatech® Engenharia.

Statistically, the applications guarantee on average:

• Return on investment in less than 1 year;
• 6% reduction in cycle time;
• 90% reduction in scrap generation;
• 60% reduction in rework time;
• 50% reduction in operational training.
