Glass really gives their operators the ability to do their jobs faster, smarter, and safer.
Rewiring productivity
GE partnered with Upskill to implement the Skylight platform with Glass in warehouses and manufacturing facilities globally. At Renewable Energy in Pensacola, Florida, wiring technicians experienced a 34 percent increase in productivity and meaningful quality improvements while assembling wind turbines using Skylight with Glass.
Workers at each station on an assembly line— wear eyewear that doesn’t look much different from the safety frames required by OSHA—begin their tasks by saying, “OK, Glass, Proceed.” When they go home, they leave their glasses behind.
A recent Forrester Research report predicts that by 2025, nearly 14.4 million US workers will wear smart glasses.
Being present with patients
Patients should receive their doctors’ undivided attention during office visits. By using Glass and a solution built by Augmedix, Sutter Health liberates doctors from the hours of documenting and charting health histories and medical conditions so they can spend more time doing the work they love – taking care of patients.
In the past, almost a third of my day was spent with my computer; now I spend maybe just two or three minutes per patient using it.
