Vuzix Teams with Ubimax to Deliver Frontline to Enterprise Customers

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and products for the  consumer and enterprise markets, is pleased to announce that the company has teamed up with Ubimax, a leading supplier of Augmented Reality and Wearable Computing solutions, to contribute to the Ubimax Frontline solutions. An end-to-end hands-free smart glasses solution platform across manufacturing, logistics and other business areas.  Ubimax Frontline combined with the Vuzix M100 and M300 Smart Glasses helps businesses deliver a competitive edge to frontline workers. 

The recently announced Ubimax Frontline platform is designed around the four award-winning products that are already in production today: xPick, xMake, xInspect and xAssist. Packaged with smart glasses from Vuzix these solutions have already been distributed to customers like John Deere, WS Kunststoff-Service, Penny Market, DHL, Daimler and BMW. Ubimax Frontline is the world's first and fully integrated productivity solutions suite for the frontline worker and at the same time addresses the deployment, technology integration and operational management inefficiencies that have previously plagued the Wearable Technology marketplace.

Ubimax Frontline solutions are already being deployed at many of Ubimax's over 150 customers, generating real world benefits that are fundamentally changing the way Enterprises view Augmented Reality (AR) and Wearable Technology solutions. Current deployments are enjoying enviable production returns on their Frontline investment, dramatically altering the way they do business with the potential to save 10's of millions of dollars in operating expenses.

For Dr. Hendrik Witt, CEO of Ubimax, introducing Ubimax Frontline was the next logical and mandatory step in the evolution of Wearable Computing and Augmented Reality becoming mainstream for enterprises: "We were able to create a more flexible solution that not only makes the deployment more seamless and manageable but allows the customers to evolve as their workforce and business requirements demand." The Ubimax Frontline solutions therefore create a truly connected workforce that is more productive and enjoys highly attractive jobs.

"Vuzix is excited to partner with Ubimax to support the Frontline hands free smart glasses platform and to deliver it into enterprise market verticals across the U.S. and Europe," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "The Ubimax Frontline platform is accelerating deployments by allowing quicker integration for enterprise customers than most custom solutions to date."
