ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading
supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR)) technology
and products is pleased to announce that the Company's Vuzix
Blade® and Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses are now fully
supported by Ubimax Frontline productivity software suite
platform.
With Ubimax Frontline software suite fully supported on the
Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses, Ubimax will now be able to offer its
customers even more possibilities to use its platform for augmented
and assisted reality solutions to increase the productivity of
their employees and make their daily work more appealing. For
existing Ubimax customers, the porting of software to the Vuzix
Blade was very simple and required a minor server update to enable
all of Ubimax Frontline functionalities on the Vuzix Blade without
losing any customer specific configurations.
Ubimax Frontline consists of the four core solutions, xPick for
manual order picking, incoming/outgoing goods, sorting of goods and
inventory and deficiencies; xMake for assembly, quality assurance,
inspection and training; xInspect for service and maintenance,
inspection, training and remote assistance; and xAssist for remote
support, 2-way video and audio, document exchange and remote
augmented reality. Fully optimized for Wearable Computing and
Augmented Reality, Ubimax Frontline offers a hands-free work
experience along the entire application value chain.
"With the Blade's unique and stylish design, we expect the
combination of Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses and Ubimax Frontline to
open up a whole new market of consumer facing business applications
in retail stores or healthcare, which has largely remained an
untapped market opportunity today," commented Jan Junker, Ubimax' Chief Commercial
Officer.
"Ubimax continues to be at the head of class when it comes to
innovative enterprise solutions and Vuzix is delighted that Ubimax
Frontline software suite is fully supporting Vuzix Blade Smart
Glasses to deliver new hands-free content and productivity tools
for consumer facing business applications," said Paul Travers, Vuzix President and Chief
Executive Officer.
Ubimax will be showcasing Ubimax Frontline running on the Vuzix
Blade at the Augmented World Expo Europe (AWE EU 2018) taking place
October 18-19 in Munich, Germany.
