ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading
supplier of Smart Glasses, Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and
products for the consumer and enterprise markets, is pleased to
announce that the Vuzix M300 now supports 'TechSight', an augmented
reality solution for distribution center workers developed by
Honeywell's Intelligrated's for its Lifecycle Support Services
customers.
One of the most exciting market verticals today for Vuzix
customer deployments is field service. Field service,
typically involves a see-what-I-see application that can deliver
expert knowledge from the office remotely to a technician in the
field. When see-what-I-see applications are delivered through
to a hands-free pair of smart glasses, technicians in the field are
almost instantly more productive because they can work with both
hands and simultaneously have access to the information and
expertise they need to solve their problem efficiently.
In this type of application, a single use of smart glasses in
the field can save tens of thousands of dollars for our customers,
especially if key equipment failures can be remedied faster or
avoided all together; and we have seen some workers view themselves
as super-charged or enhanced within their industry as these workers
can now leverage this access to expert knowledge that was
previously unavailable to them from the
worksite. See-what-I- see applications can deliver
knowledge where and when you need it and is proving to be a
powerful tool for technicians and remote workers.
TechSight from Honeywell Intelligrated is based on augmented
reality, smart glasses technology that operates on the Web
Real-time Communication (WebRTC) protocol to provide secure
peer-to-peer video and audio connectivity. Utilizing the Vuzix M300
smart glasses, TechSight requires only a Wi-Fi connection to enable
distribution center service technicians to stream live video and
audio experts who are watching remotely on a computer.
"We are delighted that Honeywell Intelligrated's service
offering is now supported by the Vuzix M300 for connected field
workers and is the latest example of a see-what-I-see application
that can deliver knowledge where and when you need it," said
Paul Travers, Vuzix President and
Chief Executive Officer.
