Universal hand analyzer

Abstract

The human hand has a considerably large scope of variation in size, shape, and strength between and within individuals and nationalities. Characterizing hands into sizes to accurately account for the variations within a specific population would be a valuable contribution to glove manufacturers. The research proposal for the “Analysis of wide number of Shapes and Sizes of Hands to Manufacture Gloves” explores an image processing based solution to challenges faced by glove manufacturing companies in creation of various glove sizes that specifically matches different types of hands. This application would be capable of Scanning Hands, identify the sizes and models, productive analysis, Decision Making and it is integrated with SAP HANA/SAP BI. By feeding the collected data to the analytical engine which comes integrated to SAP HANA, the results are aggregated into comprehensible data outputs. While 3D scanning technologies are still in early stages of development there is a major demand available. A cutting-edge solution that would comprehensively address the flaws in current systems and integrate the same with enterprise resource planning, would ultimately benefit the manufacturers to gain competitive advantage at the industrial level.
