Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) has announced that a Fortune 50 online retailer has placed a $200,000 follow-on order for its smart glasses to support the expanding usage for training and remote maintenance within the client's warehouses.
In a statement, Vuzix said the order follows the successful completion of a proof-of-concept (POC) earlier last year in one warehouse and the initial deployment of its smart glasses in 40 warehouses several months ago.
The follow-on order will support the further deployment of glasses to these 40 warehouses as well as initial deployment to additional locations, the company added.
