Abstract

The recent development in Industry 4.0 for smart manufacturing, has brought attention to researchers for the enhancement of manufacturing processes toward a fully automated system in the industry Therefore, this research aims to design a pressure detector system used in a glove leakage test as part of a fully automated system. A combination of six pressure sensors, which is the force sensing resistor (FSR) sensor is used in this project. This system detects the changes in pressure inside an inflated glove when an external force is being applied and hence able to determine leakage due to the presence of a pinhole. The outcomes of the proposed design will be integrated with the existing glove testing and packaging system in a factory. The proposed design may facilitate improvements in an integrated technique with the increase of productivity and the quality of the glove as the accuracy of up to 90% is achievedin this project. It is found from the experiment that with a constant applied force on the glove, a leaky glove shows decreasing voltage level from the amplified signal from the piezoresistive sensors, while a non-leaky glove shown the opposite.
