Conceptual model for informing user with innovative smart wearable device in industry 4.0

The everyday needs of people with disabilities represent a challenge in designing new and innovative services. The capabilities provided by modern communication technologies designed by assistive technology models can help people with disabilities perform their work tasks. The user environment has to be adapted to the guidelines of the universal design and services should be available regardless of user requirements. This paper proposes a conceptual model for informing the people with disabilities regardless of the disability degree using a smart wearable device (smart wristband). All relevant information is integrated through the warehouse management system to efficiently perform all the appropriate processes. Activity of informing users is viewed from multiple scenarios, the work environment and work tasks. For the purpose of real-time informing, industrial internet of things environment and appropriate sensors were used. The presented model aims at raising the quality of life for the people with disabilities in the work environment and rising business efficiency based on industry 4.0 concept.
