An innovative augmented reality (AR) worker guidance system from LightGuide Inc. has been donated to KANDU Industries Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides employment opportunities and various programs for people with disabilities.
Founded in 1961, KANDU has grown to become a thriving 501(c)(3) organization based in Milton, WI, where it employs nearly 200 people with disabilities in its pre-vocational work program. KANDU’s nimble and experienced workforce provides fast-turnaround production and assembly services for local and national manufacturers.
Rhino Tool House and manufacturing software company LightGuide Inc. have donated an AR worker guidance system to help KANDU workers perform kitting tasks more efficiently and consistently, reducing training time and eliminating defects.
“Kitting is simply the process of putting kits together to be assembled later by the consumer,” explains Dave Wirth, local business founder, owner and entrepreneur (now retired) who volunteers at KANDU. “When you receive a product to assemble, you want to make sure all the parts are there. The system we’ve donated to KANDU will help make sure the kit is prepared properly and thoroughly. The worker guidance system is a quality assurance tool that also helps productivity and efficiency in the KANDU work cells.”
