Reduced Downtime Due to Repairs and Maintenance

The downtime required to maintain and repair equipment can be costly for businesses.

With our industrial smart glasses, engineers can resolve issues quickly by viewing real-time machine data and 3D models, detailed instructions from back-end systems or video tutorials overlaid onto machines that need attention. Workers can also have remote technicians see what they see and provide live support.

Warehousing

Big improvements for quality assurance

Using Vuzix Mobilium Suite, workers can scan and track hundreds of datapoints, providing traceable validation and intelligent processing.
With our Pick & Pack Validation program, see how hands-free smart glasses can improve picking accuracy, packing speed, receiving efficiency, and inventory confidence, before you commit to deployment.

Built for all-day comfort, Vuzix smart glasses improve workplace safety and worker satisfaction. Plus, our extended life battery means your team will be supported the long haul, day in and day out.

Training

More effective on-the-job training

Manual-based training isn’t effective or appealing to new manufacturing hires. AR training with Vuzix smart glasses offers a more intuitive method of instruction.
With Vuzix, new employees can view step-by-step instructions and visual aids overlaid on the equipment they need to assemble and operate. Plus, experienced staff can use Vuzix smart glasses to create valuable training material.

FAQ

Common questions

How are smart glasses used on a manufacturing floor?

Vuzix smart glasses put step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and video directly into an assembly worker's field of view, so they can work faster and with fewer errors. Managers can integrate this into back-end tracking through the Vuzix Mobilium Suite to validate each step in real time.

Which Vuzix device is recommended for manufacturing?

The Vuzix LX1 is the typical choice for manufacturing environments, offering all-shift hands-free access to instructions, diagrams, and videos via AR overlays, along with the ability to document steps, detect issues, and livestream remote support.

Can smart glasses help reduce equipment downtime?

Yes. Engineers can view real-time machine data, 3D models, and detailed instructions overlaid directly onto the equipment needing attention, and can bring in remote technicians who see exactly what they see for live troubleshooting support.

How does this improve new-hire training?

New employees can view step-by-step instructions and visual aids overlaid directly on the equipment they're learning to operate, and experienced staff can use the same smart glasses to record training material for future use, reducing reliance on manual-based training.
