ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 14, 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 an M300 Smart Glasses based
remote field service pilot program with A1 Telekom Austria has been
successfully tested.
A1 maintenance technicians with the use of Vuzix M300 Smart
Glasses and assisted reality software solutions can now perform a
high-quality review and a legally valid sign-off on work orders
without being present on the job site. Prior to the use of
smart glasses and hands-free remote video services experts were
required to be present on the job site. A1 maintenance
experts are now able to sign-off on work orders in up to a quarter
of the time previously required.
Vuzix' partner Nagarro and A1 implemented the pilot program
within eight weeks using Upskill's Skylight platform. The A1
application delivered end-to-end support of maintenance procedures
on transmitter masts by real-time connections from experts and an
integrated assisted reality software solution. The sign-off
procedure is processed step by step via a dashboard solution
allowing minor defects found during the review process to be
rectified remotely by the technician while connected with the
maintenance experts. Videos and photos of each job are taken
with the glasses and archived for documentation purposes.
"We are delighted that A1 Telekom Austria successfully piloted
the Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses to support their connected field
workers. This is the latest example of a see-what-I-see application
that can deliver knowledge where and when you need it to save time
and money," said Paul Travers, Vuzix
President and Chief Executive Officer.
