Manufacturing intelligence platform

Build it right the first time.

Rapta brings AI to the work cell. Cameras and connected tools watch work as it happens, guide your operators step by step, and verify every critical step before the product moves down the line.

One platform at the work cell

Guide. Verify. Trace.

Rapta combines video-based guidance, quality control AI, and automatic data capture in one system. You unlock capacity that rework already consumes, without pouring more concrete or putting up more steel.

Guide every operator

Video work instructions show each step at the station, in any language. New and reassigned operators learn while they build.

  • Up to 10x faster training
  • Less supervisor time on routine work
  • Less reliance on tribal knowledge

Verify every step

AI vision checks each critical step as it happens. It flags the wrong part, a missed step, or a misalignment before value is added downstream.

  • Immediate operator feedback
  • Up to 100% automated inspection
  • Handles high-mix variation

Trace every unit

Rapta ties photo evidence, inspection results, and connected-tool data to each serial number. You get a complete as-built record with no manual typing.

  • Photo evidence of every step
  • Torque and measurement data captured
  • Narrower containment when issues arise
How it works

From first example to live inspection in minutes

Conventional machine vision needs extensive programming and breaks when conditions change. Rapta learns from examples of correct and incorrect work, so you can deploy and reconfigure on the floor.

STEP 01

Show it good and bad

In the visual setup tool, capture a few examples of correct and incorrect work at the station. No code or data-science team needed.

Visual no-code action builder
STEP 02

Generate the training set

Rapta creates synthetic variations of your examples for different lighting, positions, and production conditions, then trains the model automatically.

Training set in minutes
STEP 03

Deploy at the work cell

Models sized for your application run locally on standard hardware. Inspection and feedback happen in real time, with no cloud connection required.

Hours, not months
STEP 04

Guide, verify, and record

Operators follow video guidance. AI verifies each step and captures evidence. Results flow to your MES and quality systems through APIs.

Real-time feedback
What Rapta verifies

Automate the checks that slow your line

Rapta automates repetitive, high-risk tasks at manual and semi-automated work cells in real time.

Stop defects at the station, not at final test

In a progressive line, a mistake that moves to the next station gets covered up. Then it surfaces at end-of-line test or in the field. Rapta catches it where it happens.

  • A complete as-built genealogyRapta links photo evidence of every step to the part or serial number being built.
  • No transcription errorsSerial numbers, work orders, and torque results flow in automatically. No more hand-typing into spreadsheets.
  • Faster root cause, narrower containmentTrace an issue to the exact step and the specific units affected, instead of quarantining a whole lot.

Built for defense and regulated manufacturing

AI on your floor, without new risk

Rapta adds an execution and visibility layer to the systems you already run. Your data stays in your controlled environment.

Local and air-gap ready

AI runs on-premises. Proprietary production data never goes to the cloud or trains other customers’ models.

ITAR and CMMC

On-premises deployment supports ITAR-appropriate handling and CMMC compliance for defense programs.

Real-time, every time

Inspection and operator feedback have predictable response times, with no dependency on a cloud connection.

Works with your stack

APIs and industrial connectivity send inspection and process data to your MES, ERP, and quality systems.

Proven results

The capacity is already in your building

Rework consumes line time you already pay for. About 80% of the ROI our customers measure comes from quality savings and higher throughput.

You don’t have to pour more concrete or put up more steel. You just use the people and the benches you already have, eliminate rework during production hours, and achieve a higher capacity.

From CAD model to AI inspection, and back

Rapta is developing capabilities that build AI inspection models from the 3D CAD and bills of materials you already have, instead of teaching each station visually. As-built data then flows back to the digital product record, which creates a continuous digital thread from engineering to the factory floor.

In development Coming soon: CAD to AI. A machined turbine part under an inspection camera with a wireframe CAD overlay.
