AI job generation
Based on a written description of the assembly, the software generates the job, job options, materials, detections and job steps. The engineer then reviews and finalizes the result.
Arkite AI
AI built into the execution layer.
Since software version 2026.2, AI supports the engineers who build jobs and the VISION workstations that inspect the product. Job generation and translation are optional and under your control. VISION AI detections run locally, without an internet connection.

Where AI fits
Three capabilities, each with a defined role.
Arkite applies AI where it shortens engineering work and where it makes in-process inspection more robust. It does not take decisions away from the engineer or the operator: a generated job is reviewed and finalized by an engineer, and every step at the workstation is guided and validated as before.
Two capabilities support engineering: AI job generation and AI translation. One capability runs on the shop floor: the AI detection algorithms of Arkite VISION. All three are part of the same software core, the same server and the same projects.
Software version 2026.2
What Arkite AI does.
AI translation
All instructions and text elements of a project are translated automatically from the default language: per field, for all empty fields or for the entire project at once.
AI detections in VISION
AI detection algorithms give more robust results and better stability when the sensor shifts slightly. They are included in the VISION license, run locally on the workstation and need no internet connection.
AI job generation
How engineers work with AI job generation.
AI job generation produces a structured starting point in the no-code editor. The engineer stays responsible for the job that reaches the workstation.
- 01
Describe the assembly
Write what has to be built: the parts and picking bins, the sequence of operations, the job options such as color or orientation, and the quality checks that are required.
- 02
Generate the job
The software generates the job, job options, materials, detections and job steps, structured in numbered steps and sub-assemblies.
- 03
Review and finalize
The engineer reviews the result in the editor, adapts steps and instructions so they are practical for the physical workstation, and adds images, video and logic where needed.
- 04
Teach and test
Detections are taught on the sensor image, at the workstation or from sensor recordings. Any editor connected to the server can run the project for up to 15 minutes for testing.
- 05
Release to production
The project moves through Draft, Review and Production. With the optional approval workflow, only users with the Approver role can release it.
AI job generation in practice.
Video placeholder Screen recording with voice-over, 60 to 90 seconds: an engineer types a written description of a demo assembly into 'Generate with AI', the software generates the job, job options, materials, detections and steps, and the engineer reviews the result, edits one step, teaches one detection and runs a test from the editor. Use a demo project only: no customer products, no employee or customer names on screen.
AI translation
One project, every language on the shop floor.
Instructions, button labels and all other text elements can be defined in as many languages as required. Operators see instructions in the language of the logged-in user and can switch language at the workstation at any moment. With the optional AI integration, translation is done from the default language in three ways.
Per field
Translate a single instruction or text element while editing a step.
All empty fields
Fill in every text that does not yet have a translation, for example after new steps were added.
Entire project
Translate all instructions and texts of a project at once, for example when a line is rolled out to a site that works in another language.
AI detections in VISION
More robust inspection, on the workstation.
With a VISION license, a high-definition infrared Arkite Vision sensor checks the product while it is being assembled, before the next step starts. Since software version 2026.2, VISION uses AI detection algorithms for more robust results and better stability when the sensor shifts slightly.
The algorithms are included in the VISION license and run locally on the workstation. No internet connection is required. As with all detections, the objects in the process keep a fixed position on the workbench.
- Presence of small components from 0.5 cm, such as washers, clips and screws
- Orientation of parts, including symmetric parts such as gears
- Position with a configurable tolerance in X and Y
- Quality checks with multiple result classes, each with its own rework path
Data privacy and control
Local by default, cloud only when you enable it.
All project and production data is stored on your own Arkite server, on-premises or in your private cloud. The AI capabilities differ in where they run.
| AI job generation and translation | AI detections in VISION | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Optional integration with OpenAI or Anthropic | Locally on the workstation |
| Internet connection | Required | Not required |
| Default setting | Disabled until you enable it | Part of every VISION workstation |
| Key or account | Your own key with the selected provider | No AI key needed |
| What leaves your network | Text, only sent to the selected provider when enabled | No external connection: processing stays on the workstation |
| Who uses it | Engineers, in the Arkite software | VISION workstations, during assembly |
Control points
You decide how AI is used.
- AI job generation and translation are disabled by default
- Configured with your own OpenAI or Anthropic key
- Text is only sent to the selected provider when the integration is enabled
- Every generated job is reviewed and finalized by an engineer
- Project and production data stay on your own Arkite server
- VISION AI detections run locally, with no internet connection
Licensing
Which level includes what.
AI job generation and translation are optional integrations in the Arkite software, configured with your own key. AI detection algorithms are included in the VISION license.
| GUIDE | VALIDATE | VISION | |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI job generation (optional integration, own key) | Optional | Optional | Optional |
| AI translation of instructions and texts (optional integration, own key) | Optional | Optional | Optional |
| AI detection algorithms for the Vision sensor, run locally | – | – |
Questions about Arkite AI
What does AI job generation create?
Based on a written description of the assembly, the software generates the job, job options, materials, detections and job steps. The engineer then reviews and finalizes the result before it is released to production.
Which AI providers are used, and who provides the key?
AI job generation and translation use an integration with OpenAI or Anthropic, configured with the customer's own key. These integrations are optional, disabled by default and require an internet connection.
Is our data sent outside the plant?
Project and production data is stored on your own Arkite server. Optional AI integrations send text to the selected AI provider only when they are enabled with your own key. The AI detection algorithms of Arkite VISION run locally and need no internet connection.
Which license includes AI detections?
The AI detection algorithms are included in the Arkite VISION license and run on the Vision sensor of the workstation. They give more robust results and better stability when the sensor shifts slightly.
Can AI translate an existing project?
Yes. With the optional AI integration, all instructions and texts can be translated automatically from the default language: per field, for all empty fields or for the entire project at once.
