[{"type":"text","content":"ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), (\"Vuzix\" or, the \"Company\"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, announced that the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses are being used by Bondi Labs with the support of Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC), the leading research and development corporation for the red meat processing sector in Australia, to assist with audits and compliance inspections of meat processing facilities.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThe Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC) provides research, development, extension and marketing services to advance the productivity, profitability and sustainability of the sector by supporting over 100 members operating more than 130 plants across Australia, representing over 90% of Australia's red meat processing sector.
