“…This is where the role of technology is expected to cover wider area of the manufacturing industry as information sharing and interpretation would be the most efficient method of delivering the results competitively. Through IR 4.0, it increases collaboration productivity by involving and integrating several sectors, principles and expertise (Tepe s et al, 2015). This in turn creates closer value chains, fast product development, virtual engineering of entire process JMTM 32,2 and well performing stakeholders.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand the current practices of tool and die development, particularly in the Malaysian context with respect to collaborative manufacturing (CM). It is important to gauge the presents of CM, which is one of the key elements of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) so that significant initiatives could be taken. The findings are also expected to address the issues pertaining limited information related to collaborative tool and die development in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachA survey was carried out among the key players in the local tool and die industry, covering issues such as operational structure in practice, internal collaboration, external collaboration and application of collaborative technology.FindingsThe results revealed that although practitioners realise that there are systems and available technological support, unfortunately, it has not been embraced due to poor communication, lack of commitment and cooperation from employees and business owners. In addition, industry players also need to be aware of the benefits concerning CM for a sustainable future.Research limitations/implicationsMany industry players are rather reluctant to participate in surveys and tend to reserve their opinions regarding their operational practices. Lack of awareness among the industry players contributed to the poor participation of the survey and based on the feedback, some of the industry players are not well-informed regarding the latest developments in the industry.Originality/valueThe data and feedback gained through the research offer the perspective for the current state of CM particularly the tool and die industry in Malaysia. This may be a preliminary study with limited data but the value of the information is significant for further in-depth study and policy alignment towards enhancing the tool and die industry which is rarely given attention to. Understanding the current state of CM particularly in the tool and die development would be critical for the expansion of IR 4.0 concerning this field in Malaysia.

Smart glasses are a kind of Head Mounted Display (HMD) with great potential in Industry 4.0 working environments, where shop floor workers must be supplied with critical information in a timely, accessible and safe manner to be as productive as possible. Smart glasses collect data from a wireless network and project it on a tiny screen before the user's eye. Despite several benefits, such as hands-free access to computer-generated info, routeing to storage locations, eliminating the need to carry handheld scanners or written documents, there are also possible problems evidenced from the literature. HMD can cause headaches, pressure in the eyes, problems with focusing and difficulties with text reading. To study the addressed problems, a research was performed together with Ophthalmologists from Maribor Healthcare Centre. The effects of using Vuzix M300 Smart glasses on users' comfort during order picking activities were researched in a testing warehouse environment at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Maribor. The testing period lasts four hours. Several ophthalmologic tests (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual field testing and colour test) were performed before and after use of smart glasses. Results show that there are some statistically significant differences before and after use of smart glasses in users' visual acuity and, surprisingly, a high percentage of scotomas in the right eye (where the projection of smart glasses was performed) after use of smart glasses that cannot be overlooked.
