With Vuzix Smart Glasses and Zerintia's platform, enterprise users have access to information and support material while carrying out their duties without the need to deviate their attention or get cut off from the issue or scenario on which they are working. These next-generation Vuzix M300 smart glasses integration allows for "hands-free" operation, as well as access to powerful support features and step-by-step guidance in high-risk tasks, thereby reducing workplace accidents and errors while carrying out complex tasks. The use of "how-to" or step-by-step guidance features insures the proper implementation of quality control guidelines and error reduction by making the performance of duties easier, while providing access to videos and instructions that help resolve issues and incidents. All actions or tasks performed are logged and can be subsequently audited, enabling the obtainment of analytic information in regards to productivity or proof of performed tasks and their outcomes.
"We are thrilled to have Zerintia join our VIP program," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vuzix. "They are a strong solution provider for our smart glasses. As AR and other enterprise applications continue to expand in global use, Vuzix line of Smart Glasses will continue to be a leader and support a growing list of use cases."
