In industries, the presence of errors during the production of objects or the lack of immediate communication with other work areas is common; smartglasses are tools that help tasks to be carried out efficiently and safely thanks to their interconnectivity, machine learning and real-time data collection.
Smart glasses are industrial wearables which make it possible for processes to be carried out accurately, and in this way, there is greater profitability for companies; in addition, smartglasses greatly reduce the appearance of irregularities that usually occur due to labor.
Smart glasses are devices that are hyperconnected and interconnected with other systems and equipment, whether PLCs, smart watches, etc.; this type of wearables are the result of the digital transformation of industry 4.0, developed to record, host and manage the data traffic produced by a company.
Just like watches, smart TVs, appliances and many other objects connected to the Internet of Things, smartglasses have cybersecurity filters, which means that their system has the ability to report any infiltration or error that occurs to the Database.
Smart glasses technology does not deprive the user of the real field of vision; on the contrary, the digital information is fully legible for the user and, depending on the field of work in which they are used, the information can be received through text messages or alarms.
