Wearables are very necessary today for the personnel working in a manufacturing unit. For accuracy of the work being done, safety of the staff from mishaps, health-related issues are some reasons on why manufacturing units, plants and factories should be using wearable technology.
After machinery, it has become the next common technology to be utilized in the manufacturing unit by the manufacturers. There are different kinds of wearable technology available in the market. Then, how do you decide which one to be used? In this article, we shall discuss on the parameters to be taken into account before deciding on a wearable.
- Purpose:
What is your Purpose in life?
Everything (including machinery) is for a particular purpose in the manufacturing unit. Only when there is a need, the manufacturing unit should purchase the wearable technology. Therefore, it is necessary to have purpose as one of the parameters to be taken into account before deciding on a wearable.
- Prices:
What is your value in the market?
The price of a wearable is not at all reasonable when purchasing for the professional usage. So, one has to be careful before opting for it.
The persons who work with heavy equipment/machinery, doing intense kinds of work should only be equipped with the wearable technology. Purchasing for every member of the manufacturing unit and have no money left at all for other purposes makes no sense.
- Safety:
Will you give the guarantee that I’ll be safe?
The wearable which a manufacturer uses should not be a burden to him. While working for an intense project, he is already wearing heavy clothing and a wearable should not be an extra burden for him to handle.
It should be light-weight, definite and at the same time be doing maximum work without any kind of interference from the user. Especially, when it comes to, altering settings every now and then. It should not obstruct his work and create nuisance for him.
- Power Backup:
What if I lose my energy in between?
Wearable tech uses modern devices like sensors, Bluetooth, GPS, storage chips which in turn consume plenty of power. So, power backup too becomes a major challenge in manufacturing as people dedicate working for long hours without any kind of contact to recharge points.
Hence, Power backup should also be one of the major parameters to be taken into account before deciding on a wearable. The wearable should be able to sustain battery for a longer period.
- Privacy:
Should I be feeling secure with you?
Privacy is again one of the major, significant parameters to be taken into account before deciding on a wearable. The data in the wearable can be stored and even transferred via Bluetooth.
Therefore, privacy is one of the vital aspects to be considered without fail. It is the duty of every manufacturer to respect and protect the data of the client at any cost.
