Industrial & Manufacturing

Spatial AI for production cells, work cells, and industrial sustainment: robots, inspectors, and technicians on one spatial model.

GridRaster brings Spatial AI to manufacturing floors, robotic work cells, and industrial sustainment operations. SPIDER turns parts, assemblies, and tooling into live spatial data that robots, inspectors, and technicians all work from: setting up robots in minutes on parts that arrive in a different position every time, anchoring quality findings to the part and its CAD model, and delivering technical data on the surface at the moment of work.

What SPIDER brings to the factory floor

Figure: SPIDER platform architecture

  • Robot-agnostic: integrates with your existing robots and controller software through documented APIs
  • 3D model generation from commercial off-the-shelf devices, producing production-ready digital twins of parts, fixtures, and assemblies in minutes
  • Automatic 3D object segmentation and bounding-box extraction
  • Reconstruction at 1:1 scale without polygon reduction
  • Markerless localization of parts in the work cell, with no fixtures or fiducials
  • Real-time 6DoF tracking of inspection tools during use
  • Orientation, alignment, and anchoring of digital twins to the physical part
  • On-premises, private cloud, or fully disconnected deployment, scaling across lines and plants
  • Multi-level security addressing authorization, access, and encryption
  • Customer data sovereignty: your data stays under your control
  • Secure shared sessions for remote engineering support, OEM consultation, and operator training
  • Specialists and instructors can be geographically separated from the line

Automation & Robotics

Robotic Setup in Minutes, Not Hours

Welding, grinding, blasting, painting, and material handling are labor-intensive and hazardous, and every part enters the work-cell in a different position or condition, so the robot is set up again for each job. SPIDER recognizes the part with no markers, localizes the regions of interest and keep-out zones from its digital twin, and converts the operator’s XR selection into robot-ready coordinates sent to the controller over encrypted APIs. The operator approves each critical step before it executes, and the robot re-plans as people and equipment move across the floor.

Inspection & Maintenance

Every Finding, Anchored to the Part

Weld findings, surface defects, and coating coverage are usually recorded apart from the part they belong to. SPIDER tracks inspection tools in real time and anchors every reading to its location on the physical part and its CAD model, on one unified data layer: a tactile tool’s surface captures mapped to the exact point they were taken, liquid penetrant indications detected and classified automatically with pass/fail reports, and one traceable digital work record per part and serial number.

Active Task Assistance

Right Data, on the Part, at the Moment of Work

Assistance is dynamic, not a static work instruction. SPIDER aligns the digital twin to the structure and overlays each component’s location and sequence for assembly and installation, confirming correct placement as work progresses and leaving a verifiable record. Errors are flagged in-process rather than found at final inspection, and legacy 2D data reaches the operator in 3D, on the part.
