About
Squint is an AI-powered manufacturing intelligence platform designed specifically for the industrial frontline. It unifies scattered operational knowledge—often hidden in manuals, siloed systems, or the minds of veteran employees—into a single intelligent layer. By leveraging mobile technology and augmented reality, the platform provides workers with instant access to the information they need directly on the shop floor, bridging the knowledge gap between retiring experts and new hires. This approach aims to reduce the reliance on paper-based manuals and constant supervisor escalations by placing digital assistance directly in the hands of the operators. The platform consists of several core components: Author, Workflows, Assistant, and Analytics. The Author tool allows experts to digitize tribal knowledge rapidly, even generating procedures automatically from video footage. Workflows orchestrates task execution across locations, while the Assistant provides real-time troubleshooting guidance. A standout feature is the spatial mapping capability, which allows teams to anchor procedures directly to physical equipment. Operators simply point their mobile device at a machine to see step-by-step AR guidance overlaid on the hardware they are working on, ensuring high accuracy and following best practices without looking away from the task. Squint is built for large-scale industrial operations across sectors such as automotive, food and beverage, energy, and oil and gas. It is particularly effective for operations managers looking to reduce scrap and rework, as well as training leads who need to shorten the ramp-up time for new technicians. The tool is designed to be enterprise-ready, offering integrations with existing ERP, MES, and CMMS systems to ensure it fits into current digital ecosystems while serving as a single source of truth for frontline performance data. What sets Squint apart is its focus on the spatial element of manufacturing and its rapid speed of deployment. Unlike traditional documentation efforts that can take years, Squint’s AI can accelerate digitization roadmaps significantly, sometimes turning a ten-year plan into a one-year reality. By prioritizing practical, visually-anchored application over theoretical knowledge, it ensures that every team member can perform at the level of the company's best technician.

FAQs
How does Squint help capture knowledge from retiring experts?
Squint uses AI to digitize 'tribal knowledge' by generating clear, step-by-step guided procedures from video recordings of expert performance. This ensures that critical operational expertise is preserved and accessible to new hires even after veterans leave the company.
Does Squint integrate with existing manufacturing systems?
Yes, Squint is built to connect with common enterprise systems including ERP, MES, and CMMS. It provides an API and an integration marketplace to allow it to evolve with a company's existing tech stack.
How does the spatial mapping feature work for operators?
Teams create a spatial map of their equipment and anchor digital procedures directly to the machines. Operators point their mobile device at the physical equipment to instantly see the relevant AR guidance anchored to the machine parts they are servicing.
What kind of ROI can companies expect from implementing Squint?
Companies have reported results such as a 76% reduction in expert support time for complex assembly and 10x faster digitization of frontline procedures. One automotive manufacturer eliminated 300,000 units of scrap by standardizing execution through the platform.
