Delta Sigma Co. (DSC) specializes in developing systems, software, and tools to automate large, complex assembly tasks and manufacturing processes. The company is involved in the design, development, production, and deployment of systems used for the research and development, production, quality inspection, and certification of aircraft and their subassemblies.

AssemblyWorks, a system originally developed in 2008 for fastener installation (airplanes have a lot of them), has become much more versatile. The system is based on Delta Sigma’s patent-pending method to optically project 3D data onto 3D objects. The data interface will accept 3D CAD data from virtually any CAD package and allows the production engineer or planner to input process control information. The assembly instructions are then projected onto the part in color, full-scale, and sequenced for the most effective assembly.
