“It basically does all the layout for you. You can see which holes are off and if the beam is short or long. This makes QC a whole lot simpler and easier.”

AR INSPECTION FOR STEEL POLE MANUFACTURING
Catch the errors before
they are welded in
FabStation isn’t built to live at a desk. It’s used on the production floor.
Fabricators and QC teams use AR to overlay full-scale 3D models directly onto assemblies, verifying specifications, dimensions, and attached plates before consolidation.
No manual ambiguous verifications. No guesswork.
FabStation keeps every steel pole built against the approved model.
Real-scale AR overlay
Project your digital model directly onto the physical build
Multiple device access
Built for AR headsets, tablets, and web for complete visibility
Software integrations
Connects directly with SolidWorks and other leading engineering, modelling, and BIM softwares
Project tracking
Audit, analyze, and report across every build and stage
FabStation is built for precision

FabStation’s accuracy meets Polesa’s
commitment to electric pole manufacturing
Polesa’s commitment to manufacturing steel poles to CFE J6100-54 specs demands strict productional compliance. Every measurement on the production floor carries a specification, whether it’s ±3 mm on bolt circle locations or ±6 mm on shaft diameter, or ±25 mm on section length. FabStation’s AR inspection puts those requirements directly in front of the fabricator and QC inspector, verified against the approved 3D model, before a weld is sealed.
FabStation is built for exactly meeting those expectation. By using AR 3D technology work can be verified against the approved build designs before errors moves downstream, when rework is at its most expensive and schedule-damaging.
- CFE J6100-54 compliance
Verify shaft diameters, base plate hole spacing, and arm positions against the 3D model - Catch defects before they move downstream
Identify dimensional drift and misalignment at the assembly stage, when a correction takes minutes instead of days - Complete production visibility across every build
Track defects, inspection status, and build progress in one platform so nothing reaches dispatch without sign-off. - Both plants, one platform
Track every pole through fabrication, inspection, and dispatch across Guadalajara and Monclova in a single dashboard.
Numbers that level up to Polesa’s standards
FABRICATION
95%
Less rework by catching errors before they move downstream
INSPECTION
2x
Faster inspections without using traditional tape measure and paper stack chaos
DETECTION
+25%
More errors caught at QC vs. traditional inspection
ACTIVE FABSTATION CUSTOMER SINCE 2023
Recal Global is the largest steel structure fabricator in Latin America — AISC-certified, delivering to the highest-specification projects in Mexico. They launched FabStation with a single team and saw measurable results quickly after initial onboarding. Expansion into inspection and structural steel departments followed quickly.
Today, 40 fabricators, QC inspectors, and fitters run AR-guided inspections daily on complex, high-value assemblies. Rework is down. Projects are shipping on time.
We didn’t just hand them software and walk away. Production management workflows, tracking configuration, and reporting were customized to fit how Recal actually runs their floor, giving their team a platform they own, not one they work around.
FabStation has created measurable impact on scaling Recal Global’s production efficiencies.

Build it right the first time
01 QUALITY CONTROL
Build fast with precision
- See misalignment, missing parts, and wrong-position instantly during builds
- Catch the defects at various stages of completion and minimize corrective hot work during consolidation
- Cut fabrication rework by up to 95% by catching errors early, before builds move down the production stages
02 OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Production visibility across every stage
- Track each build through the completion stages with customizable production workflows
- Collect identified defects into your database, run reports to see what’s causing rework.
- Go paperless. Access drawings, models, and inspection records digitaly on tablet or desktop
03 WORKFORCE ENABLEMENT
Make transitional workforce productive faster
- New hires train using AR technology and 3D models for building to your specifications. No wasting months on learning interpretation of a 2D drawing
- Quicker adoption and success of apprentices allows staying on schedule
- Training and information available digitally on FabStation’s Knowledge Base, allowing teams to learn from anywhere
Spanish language support
We believe in a shared space between Mexican and Canadian workforce. At every step, we will provide onboarding, documents, and learning sessions in Spanish, conducted by our native Spanish speaking product specialists.
- Guides, learning material, and support will be available in Spanish
- Production workflows, inspection reports, model annotations, and error records in Spanish and English
