Semiconductor fabs
Verify every fab system against the model as it goes in.
Check dense process piping, exhaust, and utility routing against the coordinated model while crews are still installing it, on iPad or iPhone.
Argyle is an augmented reality platform for construction that overlays coordinated BIM models on the jobsite so teams can verify installs, log spatial observations, and share field data in real time.

The problem
Install errors surface late, when they cost the most to fix.
By the time a misaligned install is discovered, it's encased in concrete, insulated, or already commissioned. By then, every downstream trade has to move to correct it.
- Inspections happen after close-in, when correction is most expensive
- Field deviations from the model go undocumented until handover
- Operations inherits a model that does not match what was built
Argyle moves verification to the moment of install, so issues get resolved while they are still small.
Use cases
Where Argyle fits on a fab project.
Coordinate across trades in dense MEP zones. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems appear overlaid in context, in the ceiling and on the wall. Explore the full Argyle platform and more use cases.
Installation verification
Ensure systems are installed exactly as designed. Bring complex models into the field and verify positioning of process piping, exhaust, and utility routing during installation. Confirm alignment and placement before work is finalized, reducing costly errors in high-precision environments.
Field engineers, VDC, QA teams
Observations
Drop geo-anchored notes, photos, and markup directly in AR space. Each observation is pinned to the exact spot it describes, with AR media attached and a status the office can track as New or In Progress in the web portal.
Field foremen, QA/QC
Model versioning
Stay on the current design. Track model versions so crews in dense MEP zones check installs against the current coordinated model.
VDC, project managers
QR codes on site
Open the right project and model with a scan. Place QR codes around the fab so crews scan one and land in the correct project and model. QR codes are managed in the Argyle web portal.
Field teams, VDC
Live stream to the office
See what's happening on site, instantly. Share what the device sees so engineering and management can join the call and look at the same install.
Engineering, project leadership
CSV export
Carry field data into your own reports. Project at a glance summarizes what has been captured and what still needs attention. Export it as CSV for owner reporting and turnover packages.

How it works
Three steps to a verified install.
Argyle fits into the workflow your VDC and field teams already run.
Upload your model
Export from Revit or Navisworks, or sync from ACC. Your model arrives with hierarchy, phases, and properties intact.
Align to the jobsite
Open Argyle on iPad or iPhone and anchor the model to the physical space. The model overlays the real structure at full scale.
Walk and verify
Inspect installs against design in AR and log observations in place. Verification status and observations reach the office in real time.
In the field
What VDC teams are saying
“We're using it to expedite layout. I was able to layout several missing embeds with Argyle while on site. Then we sent the field team layout points and they were able to confirm my Argyle layout was in the correct location per the fabricator. Total Station layout points. Big Win.”

FAQ
Argyle for semiconductor fabs: common questions
How does Argyle help on semiconductor fab projects?
Argyle overlays the coordinated BIM model on the jobsite in AR, so teams can verify dense process piping, exhaust, and utility routing against design as each system goes in. Field deviations are logged as observations and reach the office in real time.
Which devices does Argyle run on?
Argyle field apps run on iPad and iPhone. The office manages projects, models, observations, and users in the Argyle web portal.
Which model formats does Argyle support?
Export your model from Revit or Navisworks, or sync it from Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). The model arrives with hierarchy, phases, and properties intact.
Does Argyle support model versioning?
Yes. Argyle tracks model versions so crews check installs against the current design.
Is Argyle secure?
Argyle is SOC 2 compliant. See the security page for details.
