Remote work technology saves company time, money
No longer do new technicians need a trainer peaking over their shoulder. Australian renewable energy leader SpringCity has equipped team members with Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses.
Now, trainers can guide trainees from the comfort of their office. Productivity has increased by 40% since SpringCity adopted the augmented reality (AR) technology.

Especially in the COVID-19 era, the classroom training model is costly and presents health risks for energy firms. Meanwhile, it's expensive to send experienced engineers to monitor trainees on job sites.
As mentors provide instruction, projects take a long time to complete. Not to mention, experienced techs aren’t able to complete tasks themselves - a costly reality for firms.

How Smart Glasses improve training at SpringCity
Enter AR. More specifically, Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses.
Here’s how SpringCity benefits from the technology:
- Video calls: Off-site trainers can see their trainee’s first-person view through the M400’s camera. Trainers can monitor their charge’s progress using a computer screen, providing technical guidance and encouragement through a microphone.
- Snap and mark: Trainers can take pictures of their trainee’s view, circling important components with digital animations. This eliminates much of the confusion that comes from two different vantage points.
- No travel required: The savings potential for energy firms is massive. Instead of flying out experts to different sites, trainers will never have to leave the office.
- Instant help: SpringCity calls upon Vuzix customer service to provide immediate support whenever an issue presents itself. Although the technology’s new, customers are regularly helping the Vuzix team identify new use cases.
