Taqtile Announces Version 4.0 of its Manifest AR Work-Instruction Platform

In General XR News

October 12, 2024 – Taqtile, Inc., a company specializing in spatial computing technologies and augmented reality (AR) work-instruction solutions, has this week unveiled the latest version of its work-instruction platform: Manifest 4.0, featuring advanced organization and management tools.

Built to meet the needs of industrial organizations with multiple sites, multiple operations, and hundreds to thousands of employees, Manifest 4.0 helps to simplify the dissemination of work instructions and related data by enabling broad scalability, accountability, and improved regulatory compliance, according to Taqtile.

The company stated that thanks to the new flexibility that Manifest 4.0 provides, managers of extensive, multi-location industrial workforces can now control access to specific content by individual employee, entire teams, or locations. Procedures can be assigned individually or as a category of work instruction, organized by equipment type, workgroup, or regulatory compliance certification.

According to Taqtile, some of the key advantages of Manifest 4.0 include:

• Data organization: The Manifest 4.0 platform allows for the organization of data usage across: logical groupings, people, equipment, procedures, business units, locations, operations, users, functions, teams, skill levels, and several other criteria.
• Increased operational efficiency: Enables companies to provide deskless workers with access to only the relevant information they need to do their jobs.
• Greater control: Manifest 4.0 helps organizations adhere to regulations by limiting access to sensitive information and data based on compliance requirements, privacy policies, or other organizational considerations.
• Enhanced management: Companies can manage changes to work instructions at a single location or multiple facilities across continents and time zones, and can assign management parameters globally or at a local level to provide added autonomy.

“Manifest 4.0 represents a year-long collaboration with multiple clients to create an easy-to-use, yet secure and flexible system that maximizes Manifest’s capabilities,” said John Tomizuka, CTO, Taqtile. “Organizations will greatly benefit from using Manifest to disseminate ultra-usable work practices throughout the enterprise while maintaining a level of control so only certain people see certain things.”

Taqtile also provides tools for the capture and creation of understandable work instructions, which can then be made accessible to deskless staff across the enterprise. The company’s Manifest platform also allows businesses to choose the hardware that is best suited for their needs, and is engineered to be compatible with a growing number of mobile devices. This includes tablets and phones, as well as more sophisticated spatial hardware, such as smart glasses and head-mounted displays (HMDs) such as the Apple Vision Pro.
