# AutoAlign

> AutoAlign builds Visor, an AI assistant for frontline industrial and field service workers. Visor sits between a company's written procedures (SOPs) and the person doing the work: it answers questions grounded in the current procedure, guides work step by step, watches for hazards and defects, and leaves an audit trail behind every task. It runs on smart glasses, mobile, and web. AutoAlign is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.

Key facts:

- Product: Visor, one platform with ten modules (Capture, Guide, Assist, Document, Inspect, Protect, Insights, Fusion, Control, Remote).
- Who it is for: manufacturers, aerospace and MRO operations, automotive plants, construction, energy and utilities, mining, transportation infrastructure, food and beverage, telecommunications, and defence.
- Provenance: NVIDIA integrated AutoAlign's guardrails work into its NeMo Guardrails project; KPMG deployed and tested AutoAlign within its Trusted AI framework.
- The Sidecar product line (LLM guardrails and AI-safety tooling) is now a separate company, Sidecar Labs: https://www.sidecarlabs.ai/

## Resources

Plain-language explainers on the concepts behind the platform:

- [What is SOP adherence?](https://www.autoalign.ai/resources/sop-adherence): how closely floor work follows the written procedure, why it slips, how to measure it, and how to build it into the work.
- [PPE detection: fixed cameras vs. smart glasses](https://www.autoalign.ai/resources/ppe-detection): how AI PPE detection works, where fixed-camera systems go blind, and what changes when detection travels with the worker.
- [What is frontline AI?](https://www.autoalign.ai/resources/frontline-ai): AI built for technicians, operators, and field crews rather than desk workers, covering what it does and how it differs from a chatbot.
- [AI visual inspection, explained](https://www.autoalign.ai/resources/ai-visual-inspection): inline vs. end-of-line inspection, and why any camera can be the inspector.
- [What is tribal knowledge, and how do you capture it?](https://www.autoalign.ai/resources/tribal-knowledge): the undocumented know-how in experienced workers' heads, why interviews and binders fail to capture it, and how to capture it at the point of work, on the floor and in the field.
