The Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments, together with its cooperation partner Iristick, is introducing Visor-Ex 01 smart glasses for industrial use in hazardous areas. The intelligent wearable, weighing just 180 g, combines high camera / display quality and reliable communication features in an ergonomic design that offers high comfort to the user.
This provides mobile workers with companion for tasks that require hands-free use as well as continuous communication, for example with remote expert support. A total of three integrated cameras transform Visor-Ex 01 into the remote expert’s bionic eye. Two 16-megapixel cameras are centrally positioned to depict the wearer’s natural field of vision – this way remote support views what is happening from the same angle and perspective as the mobile worker. A secondary camera offers a 6x optical zoom for zooming without loss of quality and scanning of barcodes and QR codes.
The system utilises the ECOM Smart-Ex 02 smartphone for hazardous areas as a computing unit with LTE connectivity and a pocket unit with a replaceable battery for power supply, an intelligent ecosystem is created for a wide range of application scenarios in the industrial sector. The distribution of functions across the individual system components helps to minimise the weight of the headset unit – without compromising on performance, connectivity or battery life.
