One platform, configured to the requirements of your sector.
Manual operations look different in every industry. The platform underneath stays the same: guidance, validation, inspection and production data on one software core.

Where manual work meets sector requirements
Every manufacturing sector still depends on manual work: picking, assembly, tightening, wiring, packaging and inspection. What differs is the pressure on that work. Automotive lines contend with variants and takt time, electronics with small parts and frequent changeovers, aerospace and medical devices with configuration control and evidence.
Arkite addresses these requirements with one platform. The same server, workflow engine and integrations are used in every sector. What changes is the validation depth, from GUIDE to VALIDATE to VISION, and the systems Arkite connects to.

Compare sector requirements
Typical requirements per sector. Every project starts from your own process and data.
| Automotive | High-tech & electronics | Aerospace & defense | Medical devices | Machinery & equipment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Production profile | Mixed-model, sequenced, short takt | High mix, low volume, frequent changeovers | Low volume, long cycles, high value | Validated processes, controlled change | High mix, some variants built rarely |
| Main manual risk | Wrong variant parts, missed torque stages | Similar small parts misplaced or missed | Wrong revision or missed step in long sequences | Deviation from the released procedure | Lost knowledge, routing and sequence errors |
| Typical integrations | MES, PLC, smart tools | MES, conveyor control, scanners | ERP or database, scanners, smart tools | MES, ERP or quality system, database | ERP, scanners, smart tools |
| Evidence required | Steps and torque values per serial number | Components and steps per board | Full record per unit, with snapshots | Per-unit record for the device history record | Process confirmation per order |
| Common starting level | VALIDATE | VALIDATE or VISION | VALIDATE or VISION | VALIDATE or VISION | GUIDE or VALIDATE |
ERP decides what to build. MES decides when. Arkite tells operators how, in every sector.
Build the business case on your own production data.
The business case for Arkite is built on your own production data. A pilot workstation is the most reliable way to validate these assumptions in your own environment before a wider rollout.
- Current error, scrap and rework rates, and the cost per defect
- Labor cost and cycle times
- Number of new operators trained per year and time to full competency
- Number of product variants and frequency of changes
- Cost of quality escapes and customer complaints
