ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 3, 2025 -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of AI-powered smart glasses, waveguides and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, today announced that the Company and Wyr.ai Private Limited ("Wyr.ai"), a trailblazing XR and AI product company that revolutionizes industries through cutting-edge technology, have partnered to launch a new AI-driven quality assurance inspection platform that uses Vuzix M400™ smart glasses. The platform will largely target U.S. Fortune 500 firms.
Wyr.ai's platform utilizes extended reality algorithms and artificial intelligence for visual quality assurance. The company's technology enables automated quality control processes, streamlining product testing and inspection for various industries. The features include automated carton count, defect detection, bar code scanning, color matching, pattern matching, productivity monitoring, OCR enabled PO module, reports generation, and more. Suppliers, manufacturers, and exporters can live stream quality inspections to buyers and keep recorded proof for future reference, ensuring transparency, avoiding disputes, and keeping shipments moving smoothly. Wyr.ai's solution works well for, among other product categories, toys, textiles, apparel, handicrafts, jewelry and hard goods. A video illustrating Vuzix smart glasses running Wyr.ai's platform for product inspection can be seen here.
"Vuzix M400 smart glasses are a powerful hands-free device that fits hand to glove with our new platform," said Dicky Massey, CEO of Wyr.ai. "One of the key features of our solution is its ability to perform color and pattern matching to approved lots in real-time, ensuring inspections are more accurate and streamlined. Our software generates instant reports, saving hours of manual work and boosting productivity for quality inspectors. This leads to significant revenue savings and more efficient quality control."
"Wyr.ai is launching a very competitive productivity tool that should be able to generate broad interest and demand within their target markets," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "We are excited to have our M400 smart glasses at the core of their solution and we look forward to expanding our relationship with them."
