But there are downsides to wearable devices, too.
![Page 18: Wearable Technology: 4 Types That Will Revolutionize Manufacturing](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/58ecb1581a28abd85e8b466d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
For example:
Wearables have the potential tomalfunction and cause down time.
They may also cause distractions whichis an important safety issue to thinkabout.

In the grand scheme, these are small issues thatmerely require balance and planning.

And when all is said and done, incorporatingwearable technology will be a giant step toward
a smarter factory.
