It will not take long until it will be unthinkable to manage and control large scale logistics without the help of smart gloves. New state-of-the-art-technology of the Industry 4.0 now provides a disruptive solution to make this possible. Read the impressive success story of ProGlove that now optimises the massive logistics of Škoda in the automotive sector.
Škoda recently announced that the wearable start up ProGlove will help to enhance the work in the production lines and make it more effective in less time with virtually no errors. The smart glove with a built-in scanner designed to capture, and test the ‘N’ number of codes incurring in logistics. The glove tracks the right part throughout the production steps to check whether the part is travelling correctly. It helps to make day-to-day work easier and quicker for the wearer.
ProGlove can capture data of the exact part and allows goods to register quickly and easily. It can read the code both vertically and horizontally and then be confirmed using an activation button on the index finger. If it is right, then the glove confirms it either by sound or vibration to prevent going on working with a part with the wrong code. This is a big step for the industrial sector to use wearables to improve productivity.
We are especially proud about ProGlove’s recent success since the company was one of our finalists in the IOT/M2M Innovation World Cup 2015. The company won the Industry 4.0 category and is now stepping into big business with Škoda and we are convinced that other big clients will follow.
