How long does deployment take?

Pilot plans can start quickly because they begin with a single-bench workflow and customer-supplied hardware. Production deployments typically start with a short onboarding sprint and a defined validation window. Enterprise timelines depend on facility count, integration scope, and governance requirements.

What hardware or infrastructure is required?

No rip-and-replace project. You can use cameras you already have, and we handle the rest. It keeps working when the shop connection drops and catches up on its own once you are back online — so the floor never waits on IT.

How does it integrate with our existing ERP or detailing software?

You keep the tools you already run. Reality Anchors takes in the jobs from your planning and detailing systems and hands back verified records, QA evidence, and audit-ready proof — without forcing you to replace anything upstream.

What happens to our data?

Your data stays yours. Every job leaves a clean, exportable record you can hand to a customer, an auditor, or your own QA — and you can pull it any time. Enterprise deployments can set longer retention and formal export requirements during review.

How are pilots structured?

Pilot evaluations are scoped and documented before activation. You get a clear review date, the tier boundary, and a defined path — whether that leads to a broader rollout or a clean exit. The goal is to avoid ambiguity and keep the evaluation commercially straightforward.

How are savings measured?

We use published industry baselines and logged operational metrics rather than self-reported numbers. During validation, the platform tracks scrap, rework, throughput, and usage against a stated baseline model so the economics stay transparent.

What does "included in Production" mean?

It means that capability is part of the Production plan. Speak to us directly about what is available during your evaluation — we are happy to walk through exactly what is live and accessible for your operation.

Do I need any optional precision add-ons?

No. Precision add-ons are optional. Most deployments start with a standard camera. Precision add-ons come in when you need tighter measurement — such as bend verification or spacing checks — and are positioned as upgrades rather than universal requirements.

How many cameras are included?

Every tier includes one camera per bench. Additional cameras and optional precision add-ons are available across all tiers. The right configuration depends on your bench layout, coverage requirements, and whether tighter validation is needed for your workflow.

How does device add-on pricing work?

Every bench plan includes one camera. Additional cameras and optional precision add-ons can be added per bench as your validation requirements grow — you only pay for what your operation actually uses. Contact us for current pricing.

What types of cameras does the platform support?

You can mix what you already own, so there is no costly standardization project up front. Most shops start with the included camera and add more only where it pays off as their needs grow.

Less Scrap, Fewer Reworks

Build it right the first time — and prove it.

Reality Anchors helps your crew waste less steel, catch mistakes before they're cut, and hand every customer proof the job was done to spec. See it on your own cut list.

What changes on your floor

Less waste. Fewer reworks. Proof on every job.

Reality Anchors works alongside your crew from cut list to sign-off — so more of your steel becomes parts and every job ships with proof it was built right.

Start from what your team already trusts

Every job starts from the same cut list and shop rules your crew already works to — nothing new to re-enter, nothing lost in translation.

Use less steel

Get more parts out of every length and put usable offcuts back to work — so less of the steel you paid for ends up as scrap on the floor.

Get parts right the first time

Newer hands follow the job step by step and hit spec sooner — so you ramp crews faster and catch mistakes before they reach the saw.

Prove quality without the paperwork

Every job leaves a clean record that it was built to spec — proof your customers and auditors can trust, without chasing sign-off sheets.

Assists the bench. Doesn't control it.

Operators confirm every step. The system validates — it doesn't override.

Built by Operators, for Operators

Your crew already knows the work. We make it trackable.

Reality Anchors was designed alongside fabrication teams — not imposed on them. Every workflow starts from how operators actually move through a job.

Capabilities Under the Cost Curve

Cut smarter, bend with guidance, and match how your shop actually fabricates.

Guidance stays tied to your real bench, not a theoretical machine. The result is practical assistance for crews: use less steel, onboard operators faster, and keep the record needed for quality-sensitive work.

Fabrication workflows targeting lower scrap, consistent quality, and smoother bench execution.

How It Adds Up

MATERIAL

Use more of the steel you buy

Cut planning accounts for job specs, bend rules, and usable remnants so crews can reduce avoidable scrap without changing how the shop is run.

Fewerwasted drops - tracked before they disappear

LABOR

Turn trade knowledge into guided steps

AR guidance gives operators the next cut, bend, hold point, and confirmation in the flow of work. The operator stays in control; the system keeps the job on spec.

Operator-confirmed steps create a verified record you can stand behind: that the work happened, who confirmed it, and whether it met the expected spec.

Per-Bench Economics

Pricing follows active benches

A fixed monthly platform fee per bench covers hardware, software, and support. After a structured pilot proves measurable savings on your line, an optional performance component lets pricing scale with verified results — never modeled estimates.

+Fixed platform fee per bench — predictable cost from day one.

+Optional verified gain-share available after a metered pilot baseline, tied only to measured scrap and rework reduction.

+Evaluations are structured with a clear review checkpoint so you know where you stand before any commitment.

+Every bench includes one camera. Additional cameras and optional precision devices are available as add-ons when the workflow benefits from them.
