Leverage AI to Minimize Rework & Scrap, and Accelerate Root Cause Analysis.
Maximize the Output and Quality of Your Assembly Processes
Our award-winning computer vision and machine learning technology tracks manual and semi-automated production lines. Our AI provides real-time feedback to assembly operators, greatly reducing quality and compliance issues to the final product. Assembly Copilot enables new assembly stations to be onboarded on a self-serve basis using the platform’s patented no-code programming environment.
Reduce Errors with Real-time Alerts and Live Worker Guidance
Create poka-yoke mechanisms for a variety of assembly processes by providing digital work instructions:
- Offer live guidance on various multimedia screens and devices for operators to follow.
- Track individual steps of an assembly process and get audible and visual alerts to help operators avoid or fix mistakes.
- Connect natively to signal towers to reinforce alerts and guidance.

Balance Lines and Maximize Value Added Work
Automatically collect timing data for every cycle performed on a line at a fine-grained level:
- Identify value-add versus non-value add work as well as the most efficient cycles.
- Compare different sessions, work styles and individual assembly sessions against an ideal number of cycles to rapidly improve processes and output.

Accelerate Root Cause Analysis with Video Traceability
Remotely replay and analyze every step of every cycle performed on the line with our advanced video traceability technology:
- Compare cycles performed during day and night shifts, as well as those performed by different operators, to help identify the cause of production challenges.
- Integrate with existing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to store product identification information alongside their assembly record to narrow down product batches for potential recall events.

Holistic Integration with Existing Infrastructure
Manufacturing Execution Systems
Retrocausal solutions team visits your facility to deliver custom integration.
OPC UA
The software can talk to your existing IT and IIOT infrastructure in multiple ways. You can leverage zero-code integration with PLCs and tooling, e.g. to assist in physically stopping the line on detected errors.
Works with Common Tools
Assembly Copilot works with ordinary tools such as barcode scanners, light towers, and smart torque wrenches. These tools are usually plug-and-play and don’t require any additional steps for integration.

Robust Security
Retrocausal’s platform is ISO 27001 certified, built on Amazon Web Services’ secure cloud infrastructure, and is compatible with Azure Active Directory, Okta, and IBM QRadar for enterprise security.
Respect for Privacy
Assembly Copilot comes with robust facial blurring features to ensure the privacy of workers, as well as a region pixelation feature that allows users to specify areas they don’t want to capture.
Easy to Use
The code-free software is very simple to use. To onboard a new process all you need to do is record a few cycles, label them, train the machine model and then deploy.

Guidance, Analytics and Trace
Assembly Copilot assists operators avoid assembly mistakes, engineers improve processes, and operations managers track production.
Real-time Alerts to Assist Operators
Assembly Copilot’s real-time operator guidance technology is built with these inefficiencies in mind. It uses an ordinary web camera and our multiple award-winning computer vision technology to actively track assembly processes and only intervene when an operator is about to make a mistake. We provide multiple ways to delivering guidance and alerts to the operator, including a display, a tower light device, or a multimedia projector.
Balancing Lines and Maximizing Value Add Work
Time and Motion Studies are a crucial tool in any industrial engineer’s toolbox. Unfortunately, it is challenging to get reliable studies that represent the work being done when the engineer isn’t around anymore. Processes also drift over-time and its important to keep track of how work is being performed vs. how it was planned. Finally, identifying sources of process improvement directly from operators is challenging.
Assembly Copilot automatically collects timing data for every cycle performed on a line, at a fine-grained level. It identifies non-value add work as well as most efficiently performed cycles. These capabilities directly aid industrial engineers in improving processes. Additionally, Copilot grades individual assembly sessions, versus ideal number of cycles that could have been performed and considering operator mistakes. This further helps engineers compare and contrast different sessions and work styles to rapidly improve processes.
Accelerating Root Cause Analysis for Takt Time and Quality
Both Industrial and Quality departments need to observe processes in their natural setting to identify bottlenecks and problematic behavior. This is a big challenge because operators behave differently in front of engineers and managers. Assembly Copilot provides Video Traceability functionality which allows engineers to remotely replay and analyze every step of every cycle performed on the line. They can compare and contrast cycles performed during day and night shifts as well as those performed by different operators, letting them rapidly arrive at the cause of production challenges.
Copilot can be integrated with existing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to store product identification information e.g. VIN numbers of engines alongside their assembly record. These detailed video records intelligently indexed by AI helps narrow down the scope of potential recall events, saving 10s to 100s of millions of dollars.
