SPIDER: Active Task Assistance

Introducing SPIDER Active Task Assistance, transforming how technical work gets done on physical assets. With our SPIDER platform, we fuse engineering intent — patterns, placements, procedures — with physical reality, directly on the surface where the work happens.

Using commercial off-the-shelf devices like Apple Vision Pro, SPIDER detects and localizes the asset, aligns the digital reference to the physical surface, and anchors the required task in context. Eliminate manual transfer from 2D drawings — our spatial AI marries intent with correction, dynamically and in real time.

What are we solving for?

GridRaster Active Task Assistance deliver in-context data to systematically improve technician execution.

 

GridRaster’s SPIDER platform addresses the challenges of manual task workflows:

  • Static Technical Data: Technical data packages define the ideal — but they are static, and the physical asset changes. SPIDER resolves the deviations between the digital ideal and the as-is asset, keeping the task reference true to reality.
  • Manual Intent Transfer: Translating 2D diagrams onto physical surfaces by hand invites misplaced boundaries, drifting curves, and inconsistent scale. SPIDER anchors patterns, boundaries, and placement zones directly on the part, so every technician works from the same aligned reference.
  • Errors Found Too Late: Physical errors are inevitable — and costly when discovered after the work is done. SPIDER validates masking and placement before irreversible steps, catching deviations while they are still free to fix.

Key Benefits of the SPIDER Approach

In Context

Tasks anchored to the exact location on the physical asset (never interpreted from a separate drawing

Consistency

Uniform results across technicians of every experience level, on every shift

Error Prevention

Validation before irreversible steps reduces rework, wasted materials and added inspection time

Robot Handoff

Validated task data transmits straight to robotic systems, removing manual transfer steps

HOW SPIDER DELIVERS ACTIVE TASK ASSISTANCE

Critical Use Cases

CRITICAL USE CASE

Paint Camouflage Assistance

SPIDER overlays camouflage patterns and boundaries onto the physical surface, auto-aligned to the asset. Technicians place and verify each zone before paint is applied, and validated in-process rather than caught in rework.

CRITICAL USE CASE

X-Ray Plate Placement

Once the digital twin aligns to the part, AR stencils mark each plate’s target location and confirm placement in real time. Sessions save and recall, with results mapped back onto the asset in context.

CRITICAL USE CASE

Assisted Assembly & Installation

SPIDER auto-aligns the digital twin to the structure, then overlays mark each component’s location and sequence, confirming correct placement as work progresses and leaving a verifiable record.
