Abstract

Recently, it is estimated that in the coming five years, 700 million wearable devices for all kinds of applications will be sold worldwide. They owe their fame to their ease of accessibility, which in turn ensures productivity. Meanwhile, the need for increase in productivity in industries is at its highest. Many companies are looking for tools to increase the productivity of their employees. One of the main tools welcomed by the industries is handheld devices. This includes tablets, PDAs and mobile phones. However, these tools are not designed for applications that require marathon use - for applications such as machinery maintenance and inventory, require more subtle tools. This paper presents a proposed intelligent glove named Al-Yad. Al-yad is designed to control actuators in an industrial environment.
