Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about CAPTiX and Aikando: how to turn expert knowledge into interactive AR work instructions for industry — with no coding required.
What is CAPTiX?
CAPTiX is the company behind the Aikando platform. We help industrial teams turn hands-on expert knowledge into interactive augmented reality (AR) work instructions, so every employee can perform tasks at the level of your best people.
What is Aikando?
Aikando is a no-code XR training platform. An expert records a task directly at the workstation, and Aikando turns the recording into a step-by-step instruction that others follow hands-free, in their own language.
How does Aikando create work instructions?
In three steps, directly in the field:
- Record — the expert captures the task: gestures, voice and context.
- Generate — within minutes the recording becomes an interactive step-by-step instruction, with no coding.
- Perform — everyone follows it hands-free, in their own language.
How is Aikando different from PDF or paper instructions?
Instead of a static document, the employee gets step-by-step guidance in the context of the workstation, with AR prompts and without having to take their hands off the job. This shortens learning time and reduces errors compared with PDF or paper instructions.
Does Aikando require programming skills?
No. Aikando works with no coding — experts create instructions themselves by recording the task. You don't need an IT department or a team of developers to get started.
Which industries and use cases is Aikando suited for?
Aikando works wherever practical knowledge needs to circulate quickly: maintenance, repair, assembly lines, quality control and training. One platform supports multiple production sites.
How can you improve quality consistency in production?
Consistency drops when every employee does a task their own way. Aikando standardises how work is done: interactive step-by-step instructions with AR prompts mean everyone follows the same proven process — fewer errors, fewer reworks, and stable quality regardless of shift or experience.
How can you increase production output without growing the team?
The biggest gain doesn't come from your best people working harder, but from everyone working smarter. Aikando spreads expert best practices across the whole team, cuts onboarding time for new hires by up to 2×, and reduces time lost searching for information — more finished work with the same headcount.
How can you train and onboard foreign workers despite the language barrier?
Aikando instructions are multilingual and guide employees step by step, hands-free, so every employee — regardless of language or experience — gets the same guidance in their own language. This shortens onboarding and evens out quality across a diverse, multinational team.
How can you retain the knowledge of experts who are leaving?
When an experienced employee leaves, they usually take their "secret recipe" with them. Aikando lets you record that knowledge once and turn it into a lasting company asset that others can use afterwards — the know-how stays, even as the team changes.
How quickly can you roll out Aikando and shorten onboarding?
Recordings become ready-to-use instructions within minutes, and new employees can reach standard productivity up to 2× faster. Rollout doesn't require writing instructions from scratch or long in-person training sessions.
Do the instructions work hands-free and on AR glasses?
Yes. Aikando instructions are designed to work hands-free — on AR glasses or on a mobile device — so the employee has guidance right in front of them and both hands free to perform the task.
How many languages do the instructions support, and are they translated?
Everyone uses the instructions in their own language, regardless of experience or background. This makes the same work standard available to your entire, multilingual team.
How does Aikando protect expert knowledge and company data?
Aikando captures the "secret recipe" of your best people and turns it into a lasting asset for the whole company, instead of losing it through staff turnover. We describe our data processing rules in our privacy policy, and we're happy to discuss security details during a demo.
What benefits and ROI does implementing Aikando deliver?
By spreading best practices beyond a small group of experts, you raise the productivity and quality of the whole team: learning by doing can be up to 24% more effective, and onboarding new employees up to 2× faster.
