A Michigan company that displays instructions for manual manufacturing processes on work stations via augmented reality (AR) is adding wearables to provide similar guidance.
OPS Solutions, Wixom, Mich., whose Light Guide Systems use a projector to relay instructions directly onto work stations, recently started offering Sight Guide using its proprietary software and Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses or the Microsoft HoloLens, which the company refers to as headsets.
OPS’ technology is designed to reduce errors in manufacturing and can be used for training as well as assembly, inspection, quality control, and logistics.
