Resumo:

Industry 4.0 represents the fourth industry revolution and bring new challenges about to the role of the human. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a new approach for developing smart factories following the Industry 4.0 concept. Although these systems tend to be self-adapting, humans play an important role in the Industry 4.0 context. Humans aspects need to be taken into consideration when designing these systems, and People-Centric applications are important for this purpose. This paper discusses the use of wearable computing for building People-Centric applications in Industry 4.0 smart factories, especially focusing on the human aspects. An ecosystem named wearable-in-the-loop (WITL) is introduced to improve the design of human interfaces within Industry 4.0 applications and CPS. A methodology for building wearables is presented and integrated to the WITL. This methodology is resulting of a discussion about wearable hardware and software features and experiencing on the wearable development. Most of partial contribution of this work are related to the wearable computing research. Wearables prototypes and their evaluation is presented in this work.
