Astralink is a Quality Assurance platform for the construction industry, which uses Augmented Reality (AR) technology to bridge the gap between 3D digital blueprints (BIM models) and real-life construction field work. Using proprietary Computer Vision & Deep Learning algorithms, Astralink compares 3D digital blueprints with the actual construction state from a tablet.

Enterprise-Grade Scanning on Smart Devices Scandit mobile computer vision software brings unrivaled scanning performance to any app on any smart device, turning it into a powerful data-capture tool. Our patented scanning technology can be integrated into virtually any app running on a camera-equipped smart device. The software is designed for enterprise-grade use with market-leading scan speeds and accuracy and is scalable to support large implementations. Barcode Scanning Combining high-performance barcode scanning software with a mobile device adds a new level of speed and efficiency to workflows across the many industries that use barcodes. Text Recognition (OCR) Optical character recognition (OCR) added to a smart device instantly reads alphanumeric text on items such as passports & ID cards, VIN codes in automotive, LOT or REF codes in healthcare or manufacturing. Augmented Reality (AR) Overlay Information is displayed on the device screen with an AR-overlay. The data source can be anything from product or delivery details to flight information, stock counts or patient verification.

MORE EFFICIENT LEARNING We reduce downtime, injuries and time spent in training by enabling staff to practice and get certified in Virtual Reality. VR training does not need physical presence of an instructor. Once the training is active, it can run anywhere and as many times as needed. MAKING VR TRAINING SIMPLE Our software platform VirtualGrasp? makes it easy to set up interactive Virtual Reality training scenarios. With VirtualGrasp? you can quickly make a 3D scene interactable and set up instructions and feedback for any training course. CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY 8 years of research at The Royal Institute of Technology led to the creation of VirtualGrasp?. It is the first software enabling realistic hand-object interactions in real-time. VirtualGrasp? is proven to enhance the memory of trainees. This leads to a reduction of errors and mistakes after the training. USER-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS Together with leading research institutes we have developed standardized interfaces and pedagogical components to optimize learning. Our solutions have been tested and verified with leading industry companies such as Saint-Gobain and Scania.
