Upskill Unveils GE Aviation Smart Glasses Pilot
<p><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gBBrlwAzjqBcOr-jICc7KhD2Zu_0HLg3HjqOUERd…;, a leader in enterprise software for augmented reality (AR) devices, recently announced another successful pilot at GE Aviation* using the company's <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gBBrlwAzjqBcOr-jICc7KhD2Zu_0HLg3HjqOUERd…; platform on Glass Enterprise Edition.

<p>The new use case combined with significant growth in AR and assisted reality implementations across GE, Boeing and many other customers worldwide, is a testament to the immediate return on investment companies in the industrial sector see after deploying Skylight on Glass.</p>
<p>GE Ventures first invested in Upskill in 2015. Today, GE, both one of Upskill's largest customers and an investor, is using Skylight in seven active projects at 12 locations globally.</p>
<p>These smart glass implementations span a wide range of use cases across GE Businesses—from topbox cabinet wiring, to warehouse picking and kitting, to field repair and maintenance.</p>
<p>In the case of GE Aviation, age-old tools are now becoming connected, and interacting digitally with people who build and repair aircraft engines.</p>
<p>Mechanics tested Skylight on Glass combined with a WiFi-enabled torque wrench to optimally tighten bolts while performing routine assembly and maintenance tasks.</p>
<p>The result, reduced errors at key points in the assembly and overhaul of engines, unlocking <strong>millions of dollars in savings</strong> both for GE and its customers. GE Aviation also saw an <strong>average increase of 8 percent to 12 percent in mechanic efficiency while using the smart glasses</strong>, further increasing the operational and financial value proposition.</p>
