    AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Whiskey Cask Management

    Whiskey aging is a multi-billion-dollar industry where the value of a single cask can swing by 30% or more depending on how it's managed. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a surprising niche application for augmented reality glasses: helping distillery managers track, monitor, and optimize thousands of barrels stored in sprawling rackhouses. We look at how one Kentucky distillery uses HoloLens-based software to overlay real-time data like temperature, fill level, and angel's share directly onto each cask as workers walk the ricks. The result: less manual data entry, fewer measurement errors, and a 15% improvement in inventory accuracy within the first year. We also discuss the economics of aging whiskey, why cask tracking is harder than it sounds, and how AR might soon help small craft distilleries compete with the giants. This episode is a concrete look at how a centuries-old craft is quietly going high-tech. #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #SpatialComputing #WhiskeyCasks #DistilleryManagement #BourbonIndustry #HoloLens #CaskTracking #InventoryAccuracy #AngelShare #FoodTech #BeverageIndustry #TechInnovation #DigitalTransformation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #FutureOfWork Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    How AR Glasses Are Quietly Reshaping Underwater Welding Inspection

    Underwater welding is one of the most dangerous skilled trades, with welders relying on blurry video feeds and hand signals from surface crews. This episode explores how a team at Oceaneering International began testing augmented reality glasses in 2025 to overlay weld schematics, real-time gas readings, and depth data directly into a diver's field of view. Lucas and Luna walk through a specific weld repair on a Gulf of Mexico oil platform in April 2026, where AR cut inspection time by 40 percent and reduced communication errors. They also discuss the bigger picture: how spatial computing is quietly making high-risk industrial work safer, and why the oil and gas sector is becoming an unlikely early adopter of consumer-grade AR hardware. #OceaneeringInternational #UnderwaterWelding #ARGlasses #SpatialComputing #IndustrialSafety #OffshoreOil #GulfOfMexico #WeldInspection #AugmentedReality #Diving #Subsea #Technology #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #IndustrialTech #ARinOilAndGas #WorkplaceSafety Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
