Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a wearable device and more particularly, to a vest management system for identifying broken or damaged equipment or tools within a manufacturing context and providing a notification to replace the equipment. In one illustrative embodiment, the vest may incorporate at least one camera on a forward position. The camera on the vest may scan an environment to detect tools within it. Once a tool is identified, the tool may be inspected to determine whether it is worn or damaged. This may be performed through image mapping or recognition. After identifying a damaged tool, a notification may be provided by the vest to a network administrator where replacement parts may be ordered.
