KIT-AR

KIT-AR is a UK-based startup with a focus on helping manufacturers reduce production errors through its augmented quality assurance platform. The company's slogan, "We help manufacturers reduce production errors by connecting and enhancing shopfloor workers," encapsulates its core mission. Using augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools, KIT-AR aims to identify and anticipate errors, enabling workers to achieve high-quality production consistently. The platform provides digital guidance to shopfloor workers through step-by-step AR instructions, automating quality checks and facilitating continuous improvement. This not only minimizes errors but also enhances manufacturing productivity. Additionally, KIT-AR is developing vertical products for specific shopfloor processes, with its initial product focusing on preventing errors during packing and kit creation. It offers on-demand instructions, making kitting procedures digital and standardized, while also enabling error tracking and generating productivity insights for engineering teams. In terms of financial backing, KIT-AR secured a significant £2.82M Seed Round investment on 27 February 2024. The investors in this round included Caixa Capital Risc, Armilar Venture Partners, 3xP Global, BlueCrow Capital, and SINTEF Venture AS. This investment attests to the potential and appeal of KIT-AR's innovative solutions in the industrial, information technology, manufacturing, and VR/AR sectors.
