OSHA Expands Deployment of Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has expanded deployment of Vuzix M400^TM smart glasses by placing an order for additional devices, Vuzix^® Corp. announced on December 2. With offices in Rochester, NY, and Kyoto and Okayama, Japan, Vuzix is a designer and manufacturer of AI-driven smart glasses and augmented-reality (AR) technologies and products. Vuzix announced in December 2022 that elevator manufacturer Fujitec was deploying Vuzix M400 smart glasses to support elevator maintenance and training for engineers in Japan. All additional devices ordered by OSHA will be equipped with subscription-based Zoom licenses to support their goal of boosting operational efficiency with safety during field inspections and service activities. The expanded order followed two years of “rigorous trials, training and system refinements, during which OSHA officials gained proficiency with the smart glasses’ setup and software,” Vuzix said.
