ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI), a $152 million market cap technology company, announced on Tuesday the introduction of its new LX1 smart glasses, designed specifically for warehouse operations with a 10-hour battery life to support full-shift usage. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 7.68, indicating robust operational flexibility for product development and market expansion.
The ruggedized smart glasses feature a Sony OLED color HD display, integrated voice control, and scanning capabilities aimed at enhancing productivity in logistics environments. According to the company, the device will be manufactured by partner Quanta Computer, with sampling expected to begin shortly and general availability anticipated before year-end. InvestingPro analysis suggests the company is currently trading below its Fair Value, with analysts forecasting 42% revenue growth for the current fiscal year despite challenging gross margins.
The LX1 smart glasses include a 4K camera for "see-what-I-see" sharing, a Qualcomm processor, and run on Android 15 OS. The device is designed to withstand harsh warehouse conditions with freezer-rated operating temperatures and a 7000mAh battery.
"Supply chain customers are looking for alternatives to their traditional pick-by-voice solutions," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "Designed for hybrid voice and vision picking, the LX1 is ready to work with customers’ current software or can seamlessly integrate into existing SAP systems with our Vuzix Mobilium solution."
The company states the glasses can help distribution centers upgrade aging voice-only picking devices by combining visual scan confirmations with voice capabilities, particularly useful in complex picking scenarios or loud environments.
Additional features include bone conduction microphones for improved voice control in noisy workplaces, NFC tap-to-pair functionality, and Wi-Fi 6E support. The company plans to offer yearly OS version updates and SoC availability through 2030.
Ziad Asghar, SVP & GM of XR at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., said, "We are a strong believer in the smart glasses segment for enterprise and we’re glad to have our technology help drive this forward along with Vuzix’ expertise."
