Smart glasses to boost workflow
Toshiba has enhanced its dynaEdge DE-100 and AR100 Viewer Assisted Reality smart glasses, which are designed to boost workflow in manufacturing and maintenance.
These capabilities have been delivered through a partnership with Ubimax, a provider of wearable computing solutions. The new modules – xMake, xInspect, and xAssist – are designed to increase productivity in the following ways:
- xMake: Brings instructions into the permanent line-of-sight of workers, making them dynamically adjustable during production whether in manufacturing, on the assembly line, or during quality assurance.
- xInspect: Provides employees with hands-free indoor and outdoor access to vital information – such as checklists, visualisations, and circuit diagrams – to improve service and maintenance tasks in all industries.
- xAssist: Delivers live access to a ‘remote expert’ either as a standalone function or in conjunction with xMake and xInspect.
“We are seeing significant interest in smart glass solutions for business use, with 82% of organisations surveyed saying they plan to deploy this technology within the next three years,” says Maki Yamashita, SVP, PC & Solutions EMEA, Toshiba Europe.
The new solutions will be available from June 2018 across Europe.
