Smart Glove Smart gloves are devices that make tasks like moving depleted supplies from the warehouse easier and more efficient. They also alert you when something is wrong. For example, workers on the side lines can use gloves to enter the notification of the missing part. This avoids the problems of using conventional handheld terminals that are located next to the line. These terminals are inconvenient and wasteful because they require picking up and dropping off, as well as handling and using.
