PTC named Overall Leader in Augmented Reality Connected Worker Assessment from PAC
PTC’s Vuforia augmented reality solution suite described as “most comprehensive enterprise AR solution suite available in the market…”
PTC has today announced that, for the fourth consecutive year, it has been named the overall leader and a "Best in Class" vendor for its Vuforia® augmented reality (AR) solution suite in PAC's Innovation RADAR report.
The prestigious report assessed AR vendors' support for connected workers in two criteria categories: competence and market strength.
The Farnborough-based company received the highest scores for both categories, whilst also garnering positive feedback from AR client references for addressing the highest priority industrial and enterprise AR use cases, and supporting a wide range of AR hardware options, from smartphones and tablets to wearable devices, such as the Microsoft HoloLens 2 and the RealWear Navigator 500.
"Our analysis shows that PTC's Vuforia continues to be the most comprehensive enterprise AR solution suite available in the market," said the report's lead analyst and author, Arnold Vogt. "
"It is well positioned to help its customers and their connected workers realise tangible value from AR for use cases like training, service and repair, and manufacturing quality inspection and validation."
Michael Campbell, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Augmented Reality at PTC, added his thoughts: "Earning this recognition as the overall leader in PAC's latest AR report reinforces the value that we deliver to our Vuforia customers and the strengths of our product and go-to-market strategies."
He concluded: "We're pleased to be at the forefront of the growing enterprise AR market as use cases expand, new hardware providers enter the space, and industrial companies realise increasing value from these solutions."

Featured Product

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
