We're just breathing a sigh of relief when who else should emerge from the drop ship’s cargo hold but... the alien queen. Ripley takes off at a run, then, a door opens to reveal Ripley in the metal exoskeleton we've seen earlier in the movie, And now, she’s prepared to\take on the alien queen. Back in 1986, the things that were shown in James Cameron’s movie “Aliens” seemed fantastical; today they are commonplace. Wearables, similar to the exoskeleton worn by crewmember Ripley, are showing up on assembly lines. Wearable technologies, such as smart watches, smart glasses, hearables, and exoskeletons augment workers’ physical and perceptual capabilities. They amplify workers’ physical strength, display detailed information as needed, and alert for hazards, Inits Valencia, Spain, factory and in two of its U.S. factories, the Ford Motor Company has provided some of its workers with the “EksoVest”, an upper body industrial exoskeleton. The units augment the users’ physical endurance rather than their strength, since heavier or bulkier items atthe plants are handled by robots or machinery. Ina Ford press release, a 35-year-old employee at the Valencia plant said, “My job can be like a workout at the gym and you really need to be fit to tackle some of the tasks. The exoskeleton suit makes a big difference and atthe end ofa shift I feel much fresher.” Heads-up displays (HUDs) are transparent displays of data that don’t require the user to look away from their usual viewpoint. HUDs originated in British military aircraft during World War Il. , In the 1960s, French test-pilot Gilbert Klopfstein created the first modem HUD, and a standardized system of HUD symbols so that pilots would only have to learn one system and could transition between aircraft Klopfstein pioneered HUD technology in military fighter jets and helicopters, with the aim of centralizing critical flight data within the pilot’s field of vision. By overlaying contextually relevant information, such as instructions and explanations, in a worker's field of view, that worker can work faster and with higher quality At Lufthansa Aitfines, voice-based headphones enable a single technician to accomplish maintenance work that previously required two workers. Before, one technician would read out instructions while the other executed them. With the hearable, the maintenance checklist is converted into voice commands, and the single technician speaks the status of each task as it is being completed. That speech is automatically converted into data and stored. ‘Today, we can look up vital information with minimal effort through the use of voice-activated data and information retrieval systems such as Apple's Siri, Google’s Assistant, and Amazon's Alexa.

Optimal use adherence and outcomes largely depend on employee acceptance of the technology. This study determined factors that predict employee acceptance of wearables. An online survey of 1273 employed adults asked about demographics, job and organizational characteristics, experience with and beliefs about wearables, and willingness to use wearables, Use cases focused on workplace safety elicited the highest acceptance. An employee's performance expectancy and their organizational safety climate were common predictors of acceptance across use cases. Positive past experiences coincided with involving employees in choosing the device and adequately informing them about data use. Organizations intending to implement wearable technology should (a) focus its use on improving workplace safety, (b) advance a positive safety climate, (c) ensure sufficient evidence to support employees’ beliefs that the wearable will mect its objective, and (d) involve and inform employees in the process of selecting and implementing wearable technology.

TEXT3 Abstract Many employers now offer workers wearable or implantable devices that can monitor their health, productivity, and wellness. Nanotechnology enables even more powerful and functional monitoring capacity for these devices. A history of workplace monitoring programs suggests that, despite nanosensors” potential benefits to employers and employees, they can only be successful and sustainable when a company’s 5. motivations for offering them are acceptable and transparent to workers. This article describes 5 best practices for motivating nano-enabled worker monitoring programs that are acceptable, effective, and ethical. MARCHANT, G.
