Vuzix Introduces LX1 Smart Glasses for Warehouses

Vuzix, a supplier of smart glasses, waveguides, and augmented reality technologies, has released Vuzix LX1 smart glasses for hands-free operation in the warehouse.

Vuzix LX1 smart glasses combine scanning capabilities, a heads-up Sony OLED color HD display, voice control, and at-a-glance access to pick lists and data. It's a hybrid system providing the best of both voice and vision-based systems. The LX1 enables workers to access inventory, manage shipments, and track orders without interrupting workflows or taking their eyes off the task at hand. It also comes with visual-prompt onboarding workflows and step-by-step guides with mapping, palletizing diagrams, and multi-language text.

Additional voice features include a bone conduction microphone for improved voice control and recognition even in loud workplace environments, and an enhanced array of microphones for high-quality two-way communications and voice-activated scanning.

"Supply chain customers are looking for alternatives to their traditional pick-by-voice solutions. Driven by ongoing customer feedback, the operation of the LX1 is simple and fast, making it the ideal next generation picking device," said Paul Travers, president and CEO of Vuzix, in a statement. "Designed for hybrid voice and vision picking, the LX1 is ready to work with customers' current software or can seamlessly integrate into existing SAP systems with our Vuzix Mobilium solution."
