Learn how Fujitec, the world's largest manufacturer of elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, has commenced a full-scale deployment of Vuzix M400 smart glasses.
Optimize Manufacutring Processes with Vuzix
Manufacturing’s reliance on manual processes can result in operational errors and inefficiencies. In addition, the industry faces a growing skills gap as many career veterans retire.
Vuzix augmented reality (AR) smart glasses help speed up production, increase compliance with protocols, and reduce training times by providing hands-free instructional support right in your workers’ field of view.

REAL TIME SUPPORT FOR COMPLEX TASKS
Complex manufacturing processes involve many variations and steps that aren’t easy to remember or learn.
With Vuzix manufacturing smart glasses, assembly line workers can access step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and video directly in their field of view, allowing them to work faster and avoid error-induced accidents. In addition, managers can view and validate each step in real time via the built-in camera.
REDUCED DOWNTIME DUE TO MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
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.
BIG IMPROVEMENTS IN QUALITY ASSURANCE
QA inspectors must often rely on written documentation or manually log findings to do their job. But this leaves room for error, allowing defects to go uncorrected.
When integrated with your quality management system (QMS), Vuzix smart glasses can improve the QA process by letting inspectors pull up checklists, use AR overlays to spot defects, call other technicians, and instantly upload their findings.
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.
