Notes from the shop floor.

Inventor in 2026: Democratizing Computer Vision for the Shop Floor

How we combined mature technologies into a single mobile pipeline that compresses inspection setup from weeks to hours.

Update on Roboscope in 2026: Same AR Defect Registration, New Anchoring Approach

Last year, Andriy Yeroshevych wrote about Roboscope’s journey from HoloLens to mobile. A lot has happened since. This is where the platform stands today.

Roboscope — Designing an AR Platform for Industrial Quality Control

Roboscope began as a way to continue our HoloLens app Spector, which goal was to eliminate manual work during QC inspections in wind turbine blade manufacturing.

Navigating the Complexities of High-Mix Low-Volume (HMLV) Inspection

For the past 7 years, our team at Spiral Technology has worked on quality control solutions across industrial manufacturing — from aerospace composites and wind turbine blades to precision machine components and

The Roadmap for Inspection: What Comes Next

As mobile and adaptable inspection systems become standard, the next step is intelligent, multimodal, and integrated solutions — transforming quality control from a compliance burden into a driver of speed and competitive advantage.

Marking in Mixed Reality

At Spiral Technology, our mission is to enhance Mixed Reality by making it more intelligent, seamless, and engaging. Our project: Spector, an app designed for marking, labeling, and measuring in a mixed-reality world.

Narrowing Down the Use Case

You think reality is straightforward? Think again. There are tons of them! Terminology might vary across different sources, but for the sake of clarity (and our sanity), let’s establish some kind of nomenclature. So,

Developing a UI in Mixed Reality: Spot Panel

Over the past few years, we at Spiral Technology have explored different ways to make the most of Mixed Reality, especially with the Hololens. The specific cases we’ve tested could be a story in itself, but for now,

Spatial awareness is at the core of Augmented Reality

AR is changing the paradigm of indexing technical information.

Case: Visual Measurement Guide

We were discovering the new case for aircraft parts manufacturing for the past two months.

Reactor platform to go deeper into aviation

Working for about eight months with the CFM-56 engine we’ve learned many of its components, maintenance operations, and standard procedures. It took several weeks to make the system scalable following the request to add

Mixed Reality for Borescope Inspection

In a nutshell, the application will help the engineer to cut through the ton of borescope pictures and videos captured during the inspection. The tool will visualise the location of the suspected damage helping to make

Reactor — Mixed Reality platform for aviation maintenance

Enabled with the object recognition it intertwines physical and digital worlds allowing the user to steer the virtual by changing the real.
