QUARA®'s Value Proposition
The intelligent glove, a long-awaited innovation
It might be surprising to learn that, while automation tends to dominate the conversation, many tasks on a factory floor are still handled by human beings. Looking at quality control studies, it is evident that most of the problems detected post-assembly can be attributed to human error.
​
The role humans play in production is undeniable, and finding a way to enhance the reliability and vigilance of the operator has been ARaymond’s mission for years. As such, much has been done by our company already to secure the proper assembly of fasteners and connectors. But while these connectors are state-of the-art, their proper installation still depends on the alertness of its operator. With QUARA®, ARaymond is going one step further: we tackle the intangible, the operator’s vigilance.
​
Meet QUARA®: The intelligent glove that helps validating, tracking, and storing proof of a complete assembly. Indeed, with QUARA®, we enhance our clients’ operations, offering them the flexibility only humans can provide, this combined with the unmatched reliability of a machine.

QUARA®:
Enhancing the reliability of operators because…
safety is paramount.
Have you ever heard of fretting corrosion? This is when, for example, an electrical connector has been damaged during the manual assembly of a car. Yes, an electrical quality test was conducted at the end of the assembly line to ensure that the connectors were properly installed. Still, this test failed to reveal the problem. The true test was the vibrations that naturally occur while driving on the road. These vibrations managed to damage the surface treatment of the electric pin, creating a dangerous friction. A costly investigation at the manufacturing plant revealed that the operator who assembled the electrical connector applied too much pressure on the pin, damaging it in the process. Had the operator received immediate feedback at time of assembly, this problem could have been avoided.

QUARA®:
A real- time, traceable, manual assembly proof that provides immediate feedback.
When the electrical continuity test operator registers a failed signal at the end of the automotive assembly line, they know that the assembly line will be shut down while the vehicle is removed. Now start the lengthy and challenging rework needed to produce a safe vehicle. All of this takes skill and valuable time. With QUARA®, the line operator knows immediately when a connector is not assembled correctly. QUARA reduces the assembly line disturbance by correcting the mistake at the time of occurence. Lengthy rework NO MORE!

QUARA®:
The perfect assembly control solution for blind spots.
Can you imagine buying a new premium car and realizing a few kilometers into your first drive that a red light is already on? What could be happening to a brand-new car? A fuel leak? Really? That is exactly what happened to a premium brand client, and it is only after a lengthy and painful investigation that the manufacturer realized that a fluid connector had not been properly assembled. An incomplete assembly is complicated to detect and extremely costly to fix once it has occurred. Luckily, QUARA® is now available to confirm that your fluid connectors are correctly assembled. This is a true game-changer!

QUARA®:
Immediate, real-time feedback that prevents costly rework down the line.​
Building an airplane is a human task: indeed, 80% of its assembly is done manually and requires the undivided attention of skilled journeymen who work relentlessly to make the aircraft sound. Quality is such a fundamental component of the aeronautics industry, that each journeyman is supervised by a quality inspector. With QUARA, the supervision is conducted by the intelligent glove, alleviating the responsibility of the employees. QUARA® provides the immediate feedback needed, preventing hours of tedious and expensive rework down the line. In case of a doubt, and because each connection is traced and documented, proof of complete assembly can easily be shared internally and externally.

How It Works
Technology at the service of your workforce
QUARA® is a cutting-edge technology that provides transformative advantages while requiring only minor adjustments to current processes or environment. It is a game-changing innovation that took 10 years of intense R&D.
Indeed, with QUARA®, each connector has its own "valid" assembly signature that our intelligent glove monitors through movement and sound signals:
-
Engaging the retaining spring is identified through motion signals
-
The latching of the retaining spring is identified by a sound characteristic
