Wearables represent the latest potential shift in consumer technology, moving from mobile phones and tablets to smart, compact, lightweight devices that typically offer ubiquitous connectivity. These devices can be easily worn by the user somewhere on their body and are equipped with sensors, user interaction features, and a computing architecture. Analysts recommend that the next wave of manufacturing should focus on a complete transformation of plant operations, connecting the end-to-end supply chain. Workers in the field or at machines require real-time information, which is critical and cannot be delayed. Wearables offer users more freedom with their hands-free and lightweight nature.
Findings indicate that integrating wearable tech into manufacturing can improve customer satisfaction by 3.5% and workplace productivity by around 8%.
This e-book explores why wearables are on the brink of mainstream adoption in the manufacturing domain and their impact on manufacturing. Here are the key takeaways:
