♻️ The Electronics Sustainability Summit is off to an exciting start! Today, our Founder & CEO, Paul Ryznar, took the SERI Innovation stage alongside iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens and HMD’s Global Head of Product Marketing, Petri Hayrynen, to discuss the future of electronics repair. During the panel, an audience question led to a live demonstration of how projected augmented reality can be used to guide disassembly and maintenance in real time. One audience member even challenged us to take apart Petri’s phone right on stage—we gladly accepted! See for yourself how AR makes electronics repair, refurbishment, and recycling fast, safe, and error-free.

We recently had the privilege of joining ProGlove at their #SmartFactory Lab in Munich, where attendees explored innovations transforming #warehouseoperations. We're proud to partner with #ProGlove to combine the power of our projected #augmentedreality with their wearable barcode scanners. Together, we're empowering workers with real-time guidance and unlocking new levels of safety, efficiency, and accuracy. 🎉 Congratulations to ProGlove on celebrating 10 years of innovation. Here's to many more years of groundbreaking solutions ahead! #SmartWarehouse #WarehouseAutomation #MaterialHandling #Intralogisitcs
🎉 Celebrating a Decade of Innovation at the 4th Edition of Smart Factory Lab! 🎉 This year’s Smart Factory Lab (SFL) was especially meaningful as it marked our 10th anniversary! Our two-day tech summit kicked off at none other than BMW World, where our journey first began. BMW, being our very first customer, provided the perfect setting for sharing our incredible history with our customers and strategic partners. 🚀 Day 1: We immersed ourselves in reflections, storytelling, and excitement for the future with our founders Thomas Kirchner, Paul Günther, Manuel Bönisch 🚀 Day 2: We took a deep dive into the future, unveiling our product roadmap and hearing from the insightful Alex Barber, who inspired us all with her keynote on "Unlocking Shopfloor Potential: Turning Frontline Leaders into Digital Transformation Enablers." 💡 The afternoon featured hands-on rotating workshops with our strategic alliances—Consafe Logistics Group, Locus Robotics, LightGuide,ekko GmbH and Tulip Interfaces—focusing on how their solutions drive worker safety, hyper-efficiency and productivity. We are immensely grateful to all our customers and strategic alliances StayLinked Corporation, unitech, EPG Ehrhardt Partner Group and eLocker who traveled near and far to join us this week. Thank you for being a part of this journey! We can’t wait to see what the next decade has in store as we continue to push the boundaries together Here’s to the next 10 years of collaboration and innovation! 🌟 #SmartFactoryLab #ProGlove #DigitalTransformation #Industry40 #FutureOfWork #AnniversaryCelebration

Ever thought there has to be a better way to repair electronics? Tired of the constant cycle of buy, break, replace? Join us at the Electronics Sustainability Summit for a panel discussion on innovations in electronics repair. Our CEO, Paul Ryznar, will be joining the CEO of iFixit, Kyle Wiens, and HMD's Global Head of Product Marketing, Petri Hayrynen, to discuss advancements extending the life of electronics and creating opportunities for reuse. As electronics become more complex, repair is critical in reducing #ewaste and supporting a #circulareconomy. At LightGuide, we're at the forefront of using #augmentedreality to revolutionize repair processes—making them faster, safer, and more reliable. ✨ Want a sneak peek of the insights we’ll be sharing at the show? Here's a brief look at 4 challenges AR solves. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/47rtFcN ✅ Challenge 1: Standardizing repair instructions for a variety of devices Electronics repair companies face a high degree of variation. New models are constantly being released, making it difficult to update repair procedures efficiently. AR streamlines and standardizes repair processes by overlaying visual work instructions directly onto the device being repaired. With a simple barcode scan, technicians can quickly access the right instructions and confidently repair an entirely different device than the cycle before. ✅ Challenge 2: Training and employee turnover Providing technicians with the proper training is also key. AR reduces the learning curve for new hires and helps seasoned technicians learn how to repair new devices through interactive training experiences that mirror real-world scenarios - including the ability to track trainee progress and issue certifications. ✅ Challenge 3: Improving repair quality and bounce rates Customers want devices repaired by companies that can guarantee the quality of their work. In addition to providing technicians with real-time visual guidance, AR can confirm each step is correctly completed. Using AR, companies can also generate a certificate of completion for each device by IMEI that contains a historical record of valuable repair data for better traceability. ✅ Challenge 4: Safety Another challenge revolves around the safe handling of batteries and power supplies. With AR work instructions and training, workers are at reduced risk of mishandling components that could lead to safety issues. #eSummit2024 #ElectronicsSustainability #ElectronicsManufacturing #SustainableManufacturing #GreenEconomy
