Design and Development of Cost Effective Wearable Glove for Automotive Industry

In an automotive production unit considerable amount of time is spent on testing and observation. Therefore a need arises to address this issue with the help of any automation technique. In this paper, a cost effective wearable glove for monitoring automotive parameters such as temperature, flaw detection, Electro Motive Force (EMF) leakage and Direct Current (DC) measurement etc. To perform these measurements, various sensor units like temperature sensor for monitoring temperature, ultrasonic sensor for flaw detection are interfaced with the Arduino board and the monitored parameters are displayed in a graphical Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The proposed design for wearable glove using Arduino Board enables time efficient continual monitoring of the parameters.
