Tablets and smartphones are established workplace technologies. The next generation of Mobile Business Solutions will build on wearable and IoT technologies. You know use cases, or are involved in developing one? We will include such case studies into our study "Mobile Connectivity - The Next Step of Innovating Mobile Business Solutions. Use Cases of Wearables & IoT Technologies and How to Design the Innovation Process". Use cases may come from any industry, and regarding their development stage be either on the market already, or prototypes. Send your hints/nominations to bruno.zanvit@unisg.ch. We will get back to you.

• Xsensio develops next-generation Lab-on-Skin wearable
devices that uniquely exploit biochemical information at
the surface of our skin, providing unprecedented real-
time information about our health and wellness, in a
simple, non-invasive way.
• Xsensio intelligent stamps rely on a unique highly-
miniaturized nanotech sensing platform: Compared to
existing solutions that rely on electrochemistry, Xsensio’s
sensing technology platform is 10’000x smaller in size,
and can achieve attomolar concentrations.
• Client: no details provided: B2B & B2C
• Provider: Xsensio, spinoff of the Nanolab at the Swiss
Institute of Technology (EPFL)
• With its new nanotechnology, Xsensio aims to
exploit the goldmine of information available at the
surface of our skin, electrolytes, metabolites, small
molecules and proteins: Since it’s in a very early
phase, no details for exact application is provided.
Possible application; maintaining work-life-balance.

• In 2015, Intel demonstrated the ProGlove on its stand at
the CEBIT. The sensor-based smart glove can boost
productivity for manufacturing and logistics jobs by
enabling manual workers to get things done faster.
• The glove uses wireless, scanning and sensing
technologies so it can collect data that can be analyzed to
improve things like production and inventory
management.
• Client: industrial companies
• Provider: ProGlove (Intel)
• ProGlove can be used for automated, hands-free
scanning of goods; monitoring and training of
workflow sequences; identification of tools and
parts to avoid incorrect usage; and to deliver 100
percent documentation of goods and processes.
Concept – Smart Glove in Manufacturing

• Smart Lens is meant for diabetics who need constant
monitoring of their blood sugar level. Currently, such
patients use blood testing – using a needle to get a drop
of their blood and then measure the glucose level.
• The smart lens could be used in L&H insurance. Once
patient data is collected and analyzed, the effect of the
Smart Lens on the patient’s health becomes quantifiable.
This will enable insurers to price their products more
accurately and thus minimize risk.
• Client: Insurers, diabetics
• Provider: Google, Novartis
• “Smart Lens” monitors the glucose level frequently
and sends the data to the smartphone via a built-in
wireless chip.
• In combination with predictive analytics, “smart
lens” will be much faster in detecting abnormalities
and can send an alarm (e.g. email, 911).

• Picavi is a solution provider for in-house ogistics. After
offering pick-by-light and pick-by-voice solutions, they
now managed to integrate augmented reality into their
portfolio.
• Logcom, provider of Picavi, offers tailor-made logistics
solutions to companies with high packing density, e.g. in
fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industries.
• The solution runs on Android. Nevertheless, it is
developed independently from software and hardware
providers
• Client: companies with warehouse logistics
• Provider: Logcom GmbH
• Picavi’s Pick-by-Vision solution, based on Head
Mounted Displays (HMD), is already in operational
use with several companies in Germany. It allows
workers to work more efficiently (18%), transparent
and flexible. Workers are guided to the right spot
and can scan stock items with their HMD.

• In 2014, Vandrico Solutions announced that it will be
working on a project to bring world’s first SmartGlass
application to the mining sector.
• In 2016, they present a complete suite of software tools
that provides the right information to underground
miners; in addition to the initial project idea, Vandrico
uses SmartWatches to provide workers with additional
information.
• Client: mine-sites
• Provider: Vandrico Solutions, Canary Software Suite
• Connected Miner allows Operations Management
to have 3D visualization of people, sensors and
vehicles underground. It adds an extra dimension to
safety, communications and control. All events, and
their associated context, are logged for analysis.
