ValidAR · Assembly validation with augmented reality

Practical solutions for your workshop’s challenges

We listen first. Then we solve through easy-to-use software for steel fabrication.

The problem

A fit-up error caught late is expensive

The cost grows with every hour before it is caught. And the cause is often simple: a misread drawing.

With ValidAR there is far less to interpret: the fitter sees the model on the steel, not a drawing to translate.

  • If caught late

    Shop rework

    Cutting, grinding welds off and re-fitting a finished assembly.

    With ValidAR

    The error shows up during fit-up, before the assembly is finished.

  • If caught late

    Scrapped material

    Sections and plates that are no longer good for anything.

    With ValidAR

    It gets fixed while it still can be, before the material is wasted.

  • If caught late

    Site delays

    The error shows up at erection, with the crane waiting.

    With ValidAR

    The assembly leaves the shop checked against the model.

  • If caught late

    Penalties

    Client claims and missed deadlines.

    With ValidAR

    Every assembly is logged: who validated it, when and against which drawing revision.

On the shop floor

Point, validate, keep fitting

Two actions from the fitter; the app does the rest. They see the virtual assembly over the physical one — no drawing to interpret — and they do not wait until the assembly is finished: they check as they go whether it is being built right. Anyone can see at a glance how a colleague’s assembly is going, with nothing to configure and no change to how the shop works.

  1. A fitter holds an iPad over steel beams and sees the assembly model overlaid

    Step 01

    Point the tablet

    Open the app, pick the assembly and point at the steel. Nothing to stick on the part, nothing to align by hand.

  2. A real fitted beam with the model overlaid and position quality at «74 % · good», ready to validate

    Step 02

    The model locks onto the steel

    The model places itself on the real structure by image detection, and stays on it as you move around. The app shows tracking quality at all times.

  3. The inspection panel with the approved parts and session progress, next to the real assembly in green

    Step 03

    Validate part by part

    Each part is compared against the model and marked validated or returned. Dimensions are overlaid on the real structure.

  4. Assembly detail in the web app: in production, conforming and with the round’s closing record

    Step 04

    The office sees it instantly

    The assembly status updates by itself. Who validated, when, and against which drawing revision is all logged.

Precise assembly

Fabricate your assemblies without errors

Automatic validation of fabrication. Using augmented reality and artificial intelligence, our solution detects potential errors.

  • Reduce rework and material costs: Validate in real time and ensure the assembly is correct before finishing.
  • Fast, simple, and automatic: Ideal for quality control of your structures.

Optimized nesting

Stop cutting bars inefficiently. Our nesting tool allows you to reduce waste and optimize cut combinations.

  • Lower material costs: Automatically reduce waste by cutting profiles in the most efficient way.
  • Keep your inventory up to date: Reuse cuts from other bars or profiles.
  • Fast and easy to use: Create your cutting plan in just 5 minutes.

Let’s make the work easier.

At Kabunik, we listen to the real challenges of steel fabrication to offer solutions that are finally easy to use. We validate and bring closer the new generation of digital tools so you can focus on building.

If you believe your workshop can produce more, with less friction and fewer errors, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s have a chat and see how we can help you.
