Smart glasses lead the way
We’ve tested ‘smart glasses’, which introduce a layer of computer-generated data to what the wearer sees. The purpose of the glasses is to reduce the response time at the power stations. For example, if a pump shuts down, the operator can use the glasses to instantly map the heat flow inside the pump and locate the problem. An expert located at another power station can also connect to the glasses, which will significantly reduce the time it takes to resolve the issue.
We’re currently working on implementing a 3D version of our machines in the glasses; however, this technology is still under development.
