Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Kazumasa Hara, hereinafter Macnica), a total service and solution provider in semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT, is RealWear, Inc. We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a domestic sales agency agreement with RealWear (Headquarters: Washington State, USA, CEO: Andrew Chrostowski, hereafter referred to as RealWear) and have begun handling industrial smart glass products developed and manufactured by RealWear. With this, Macnica will support customers' digital transformation (DX) and work to resolve issues at work sites.

In recent years, industrial fields such as automobiles, manufacturing logistics, construction, and energy are facing major issues at work sites. Many sites rely on the knowledge and skills of skilled workers, resulting in a lot of individualized work. This may lead to a decline in quality and the risk of accidents at workplaces where safe and stable production activities are required due to the retirement of skilled workers and the shortage of human resources with knowledge and skills. . In addition, even if work procedures and manuals are used to standardize the work level, it is inefficient to work while referring to documents in bad weather or at night, and improvement is required.

In order to resolve these issues and support our customers' digital transformation (DX), Macnica has decided to enter into a sales agency agreement with RealWear and begin handling industrial smart glass products. I did.
RealWear's smart glasses are the world's leading industrial wearable device, having shipped more than 20,000 units since their launch and winning the highest award ^*1 at a prestigious industry trade show. It supports voice operation, has a hands-free design that does not require button operations, and can be used in environments with 95 dB noise. In addition, you can record work and inspection details by displaying workflows and inspection items, and view videos, images, PDF documents, etc. without paper. Furthermore, by linking with a central control system, it is possible to check work history, use a web conferencing system to remotely check on-site conditions, and provide work support such as issuing instructions.

Main Applications of RealWear Smart Glasses Products

As a result, work such as inspection/testing, repair/maintenance, assembly, and construction can be standardized and carried out smartly at work sites in various industrial fields. For example, on-site work procedures and methods are stored as data in smart glasses, and the necessary information can be called up smoothly by voice operation. Called information is clearly displayed on the smart glasses together with past work history etc. in a paperless and stress-free manner. The details of the work are reported in real time from the site to a remote supervisor, etc., and work instructions are given from a remote location as necessary.
In this way, by using RealWear smart glasses at the work site, it is possible to ensure the work level and continue production activities safely and efficiently without depending on the knowledge and skills of the workers. .

Through the sale of RealWear products, Macnica supports customers' digital transformation (DX) and works to resolve issues at work sites.

In addition, RealWear has so far provided the standard specification HMT-1 and explosion-proof specification HMT-1Z1 to the market, which have been adopted by many customers around the world and have contributed to improving safety and efficiency at work sites. We have recently announced the new product "RealWear Navigator™500". The Navigator 500 was designed to reflect feedback from users using current products at various work sites, resulting in smart glasses with higher performance and higher quality than ever before. Macnica will also start selling RealWear's new industrial smart glasses "Navigator 500" from today.
