We talk to Rob Bellinger of Evident (formerly Olympus) about the SZX-AR1 Augmented Reality Microscope System. The AR1 microscope system enables you to overlay text and digital images over your microscope's field of view, making it easy to follow directions, read notes, and even watch videos without removing your eyes from the eyepieces.
The AR1 module works with Olympus SZX stereo microscopes, turning them into augmented reality tools that improve the speed and efficiency of your microscope-based manufacturing tasks and training.
In this Tech Corner from the HxGN LIVE show in Las Vegas, François Mainguy, president and CEO of PRAGMA, demonstrates its PragmaRoll 64 scanning ultrasonic probe mounted to a Hexagon Absolute Arm.
Remote work has made many rethink what work is. Is it hours spent working or is it getting a set of tasks done? Do we subconsciously manage our time so that our tasks take 40 hours? We talk with Donna McGeorge, bestselling author of the It’s About Time series of books.
If you look up "smart manufacturing," you mostly find a lot of jargon. But what does it look like to the people who use it? We talk with Paul Rogers, president of the North, South, and Central America region for Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division.
