The tribal knowledge that runs factories lies in the heads of senior techs. It leaves when they do.
I built a platform that holds it: build recipes tied to part numbers, played in 3D during assembly.
Senior tech: 8 minutes. A junior using the platform: 6 with QC enforced.
@faraaz_is_back@kalam_labs Absolutely, the landscape is changing so quickly. But that's what excites me now, that we are finally so close to building solutions for the most basic problems on production lines.

Work instruction tools assume clean CAD. Most mid-sized manufacturers, especially configure-to-order, still run on drawings and data sheets.
This platform is built for them. Fix one build, and every future build using that part is fixed with it.
Valve automation and beyond.
