Wearable computing is a form of ubiquitous computing that offers flexible and useful tools for users. Specifically, glove-based systems have been used in the last 30 years in a variety of applications, but mostly focusing on sensing people's attributes, such as finger bending and heart rate. In contrast, we propose in this work a novel flexible and reconfigurable instrumentation platform in the form of a glove, which can be used to analyze and measure attributes of fruits by just pointing or touching them with the proposed glove. An architecture for such a platform is designed and its application for intuitive fruit grading is also presented, including experimental results for several fruits.

“…There are only 8 articles reported to facilitate picker routing, i.e. RFID-enabled gloves (Muguira et al 2009), an UWB system on forklifts (Chow et al 2006abc) and tracking of warehouse staff movement (Berenyi et al 2008ab), mobile assistance for warehouse workers (Prause et al, 2009) and RFID based system for solving optimally picking problem (Faschinger et al, 2007). The only article found for layout improvement is by Wang et al (2010b) to fulfil customer orders efficiently through an RFID-enabled conveyor belt system.…”

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been identified as a crucial technology for the modern 21 st century knowledge-based economy. Many businesses started realising RFID to be able to improve their operational efficiency, achieve additional cost savings, and generate opportunities for higher revenues. To investigate how RFID technology has brought an impact to warehousing, a comprehensive analysis of research findings available through leading scientific article databases was conducted. Articles from years 1995 to 2010 were reviewed and analysed according to warehouse operations, RFID application domains, and benefits achieved. This paper presents four discussion topics covering RFID innovation, including its applications, perceived benefits, obstacles to its adoption and future trends. This is aimed at elucidating the current state of RFID in the warehouse and giving insights for the academics to establish new research scope and for the practitioners to evaluate their assessment of adopting RFID in the warehouse.

“…Recently, passive RFID-based systems have been installed into footwear and into different types of gloves, for example, for activity monitoring, interactive learning, and for assisting in routine work tasks. [15][16][17][18] The properties of passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID technology make it an especially attractive solution to be seamlessly integrated into clothing. Passive UHF RFID tags communicate wirelessly with RFID readers, and they have a working range of several meters.…”

Previously, glove-integrated communication based on gestures, hand movement and finger touch had a complex operating system and an active power source was needed. This paper introduces batteryless and maintenance-free interface gloves. Our solution is based on passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, comprising four electro-textile antenna parts and three RFID microchips (each with a unique ID). The three RFID microchips have unique IDs, which can be activated by the gentle touch of the human finger and used to control the surrounding technology. The aim is to evaluate the reliability of different conductive materials and microchip attachment methods. The antennas are fabricated from two different materials: a stretchable and a non-stretchable commercial electro-textile. Further, two types of microchip attachment methods are used with both antenna materials: a conductive silver epoxy and embroidery with conductive multifilament silver-plated thread. The developed interface gloves are tested by six users in a home and in an office environment, where they achieve 93–100% success rates. Especially those glove interfaces with the antennas fabricated from the non-stretchable electro-textile and the antenna-microchip interconnections embroidered with conductive thread showed good read ranges (80–110 cm). The gloves also show practical functionality, when tested with a mobile reader in practical identification and access control application. These results are very encouraging, especially when considering that the interface glove, being maintenance-free and cost-effective, promises versatile and interesting applications for customizing user-friendly augmentative and alternative communication solutions, easy controlling of ambient assisted-living applications, and providing simple identification and access control for increased safety and comfort.
