FactoryOptix: Augmented Reality, “Out of the Box”

Hands-free manufacturing, immediately usable, without additional work

As a natural evolution for paperless work-instructions and logistics, FactoryOptix® connects humans with the digital factory in a new way, driving flexibility, efficiency, space-saving, and reduced investment. Affordable augmented reality for manufacturing is perfect for areas with accessibility restrictions or with the need for mobility.

Affordable, Comfortable, for Everyday Use

For immediate practical integration into a wide range of scenarios, our light-weight AR headset creates a digital cockpit, featuring immersive digital overlay screen technology, a built-in camera, barcode reader, microphone, headset, and long-lasting battery. With no other devices required, assembly and material logistics operators are fully equipped for any challenge, any time.

Streamline Your Factory Infrastructure

The number of assembly, inspection and test workstation / cells in a factory often exceed the number of concurrently executed assembly operations by a factor of ten. FactoryOptix® hardware moves with the operator, eliminating the need for static sets of rarely utilized equipment as well as the majority of IT investment and shop-floor support.

Reclaim Space in Critical Areas

Whether utilizing work-cells, lines or staged assembly, the use of FactoryOptix® brings critical materials closer to the operator, reducing cycle times and ergonomic strain, effectively recovering space through the elimination of the traditional screens, keyboards, mice, barcode readers etc. Effective manufacturing space utilization can double in some cases.

Eliminate Distraction & Enhance Direct Labor

Operators using FactoryOptix are focused on their tasks, without the need to look away, pick up or put down devices needed to record data or confirm product IDs. With everything done through the FactoryOptix headset, operators utilize both hands at all times to add value, eliminating distraction and inefficiencies that could result in mistakes. Only FactoryOptix can assure the maximization of direct labor.

Zero Net Cost of Ownership

FactoryOptix uses the same data and instruction sets as created for static paperless documentation terminals, so there is no additional overhead to create specialized graphics, or case by case customized software as required in most other AR/MR/VR applications. FactoryOptix can therefore be used anywhere, bringing value and benefit in each and every case.

Operators As Part of the IIoT Fabric

Using the on-board camera, images, video and operator feedback commentary can now be captured as part of the digital build record of each assembly process. This provides the next level of traceability detail where required, and in all cases, a simple and effective operator closed-loop feedback improvement mechanism.
