You may have seen that earlier this morning an exciting new partnership was announced with Virgin Atlantic. Sony’s SmartWear devices, including our SmartWatch 3 and SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 will be working with Virgin Atlantic’s plane engineers over the next couple of months to test how wearable tech can help businesses literally take off the ground.
Starting next week Virgin Atlantic’s plane engineers at London’s Heathrow airport will be kitted out with our latest SmartWatch 3 and SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 devices, alongside a smartphone or tablet, to help streamline communications and speed up technical assistance.
Our SmartEyeglass Developer Edition SED-E1 will enable Virgin Atlantic to deliver rapid technical assistance by streaming real-time video directly from onsite engineers over to the technicians in the control room where they can view the content directly from the dedicated app. This will be supplemented by SmartWatch 3 acting as a non-stop activity log, providing runway bound engineers with on-the-go job allocations and detail changes whilst simultaneously providing managers with instant feedback on how they’re getting on.
Not only will the technical process and logistics be enhanced, but streamlining communications with the latest tech will also help cut down on waste.
Phil Maher, Director of Operations at Virgin Atlantic, said of the partnership:
“We are proud of our recent innovation work to provide the best possible experience for our customer facing roles and we’re pleased to now be exploring how new technology can contribute towards our essential operations procedures. It’s a great way to empower our people by providing instant access to the information they need to be more effective in their roles.”
Here at Sony Mobile we believe that innovative tech on its own is not enough, innovation has to have application that means something to the people using it. Innovation has to be an agent of change in whatever guise it takes whether that’s enriching consumers’ lives, acting on pain-points or streamlining enterprise.
Our partnership with Virgin Atlantic is a great demonstration of not just of our Xperia in Business initiative, but of our whole innovation ethos showing how streamlined communications and industry leading technology can help individuals and business every day. And we couldn’t be prouder.
