During the event, we demonstrated XpertEye, a suite of secure productivity applications for connected frontline workers, through interactive demos. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about new ways to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety in an industrial setting. We also showcased our aR technology that facilitates remote maintenance, assistance, training, and collaboration, with the chance to try various brands of smart glasses and video sources to find the most suitable one for their use case.
Augmented technician with digital watermarking
Our special invitee, Philippe Delbary, Innovation Director at Orange Business, discussed the innovative digital watermarking of augmented technician interventions. This solution guarantees the authenticity, origin, and date of each video collaboration, and archives it securely, integrating blockchain to record and authenticate technician's video collaborations as proof in case of litigation.
Conclusion
Overall, Advanced Factories provided a great platform to showcase our latest advancements in aR, network with partners and customers, and gain insights into the future of manufacturing. We are excited to continue innovating and leading the way for Industry 4.0.
