Welcome to the future of industrial work with our cutting-edge smart gloves. Powered by AI and integrated with our digital twin technology, Mimetik gloves offer unparalleled benefits for training, optimization, and real-time assistance.

Smart gloves for Smart factories

World's first
IoT Sensor of
Human Activity

We built the world’s first industrial sensor for reading human activity. Mimetik gloves use advanced AI algorithms to track hand movements and interpret manual work steps, making them an indispensable tool for digitizing your operations.

With unparalleled insight at your fingertips, it’s time to unlock the full potential of your smart factory.

Our Vision

We empower human motion in cyberspace through an in-depth analysis of hand movements and interfacing them to machines. With our Mimetik glove, you can collect and visualize data and stream it to any program, robot, or system that you want to control by a hand movement.

Mimetik is a pioneer in creating high-tech smart-glove solutions for industrial applications and beyond. Founded as a spin-off from TU Dresden & integrated into the CeTI research cluster of excellence of Technische Universität Dresden, Mimetik has advanced the development of digitally identifying, tracking & documenting hand movements without the need for cameras. The sensor-based Mimetik glove captures movement data. Through our smart algorithms we can identify specific movements and will be able to teach best movement patterns to new users. We are convinced that the integration of digital hand movements is the gateway technology to the Metaverse implementation.

For Industry

The path towards highly efficient, fully connected factories goes through empowering the workers who are enabling the smooth operations at each step. While decades of work have gone into creating digital twins of factories, it’s time to integrate the intelligence and agility of workers to complete the picture. Mimetik’s IoT sensor digitizes manual work steps with zero infrastructure costs and without cameras, ensuring high privacy standards for easy adoption. By creating a digital twin of your best workers, you can optimize and automate the work environment, assist workers throughout the day, and improve efficiency.

Digital Training

With Mimetik’s Digital Trainer your workers can learn at their own pace. The standardized training harmonizes the best practices of your highly skilled team. By combining visual work instructions with real-time feedback, we keep your workers focused and engaged. Our IoT sensor, fed by continuous hand motion data tracks trainee progress and evaluates skill development. When necessary, the Digital Trainer signals your skilled workers to provide assistance, freeing them from full-time trainer duties.

Quality Assurance

Mimetik’s Worker Assistance is dedicated to supporting your workers tirelessly throughout their entire shift. By leveraging the best practices of your experts, our knowledge base of production processes transforms all workers into experts from day one. Our AI observes and analyzes work steps, providing personal assistance to workers and informing them of possible deviations based on global knowledge. Real-time feedback on production quality helps workers prevent errors and increase efficiency – making quality assurance an inherent part of your production line.

Process Optimisation 

Mimetik’s Process Insight automates the analysis of your processes, providing access to the world’s first human activity database for production lines.
By creating a customized knowledge base for your production line, process optimization and automation are integrated into your daily work. Relevant analytics are displayed on your screen in real-time, allowing you to design, test, and deploy processes with ease. With consistent information on execution order, duration, and inter- and intra-worker deviation, process optimization has never been easier.

For Developers

Developers Kit

Our Developers Kit is an ideal solution for scientists, universities, and tech-savvy individuals. It features a pair of data gloves and our powerful software to interpret motion and connect the gloves with your applications.

Mimetik data gloves are designed with a mind to give detailed movement data at a very basic level. The raw data from the movement sensors (IMUs) can be visualised through the graphical interface Live. The integrated IMUs have 9-DOF that speaks for a 3D vector of an acceleration, a gyroscope, and a magnetic field.
Mimetik data gloves can be seamlessly integrated in your applications using a C++ interface. The provided code example and the library can be compiled with your C++ project. In this way, Mimetik gloves can be used with the lowest latency. You also get full access to raw sensor data (3D vector of an acceleration, a gyroscope, and a magnetic field) and a measurement time stamp.
In a combination with a Steam compatible VR tracker, Mimetik gloves can be fully integrated into VR applications. The VR tracker is used to derive a 3D position while the gloves are used to derive the hand pose.
You can control a robot remotely using hand gestures, both artificial and natural. This enables a seemless human-robot cooperation.
The hand movements are recognized live and translated to the common control events simulating a keyboard, a mouse, and a joystick. We developed a code-free interface allowing you to play your favourite games with Mimetik gloves completely without programming.

Efficiency

The Efficiency Glove is the base product within the Mimetik product family. The integrated core technology allows access to all process data involving human operations through comprehensive time and motion studies. With our plug&play solution, production managers can easily balance station workloads, identify bottlenecks, and reveal optimisation potential – leading to efficiency gains of more than 20%. It is easy to set up and integrate into existing data acquisition software.

Ergonomics

Topping up our core technology with altitude and weight sensors, the Ergonomics Glove can record and identify ergonomic positions when lifting an object. This makes it possible to tackle false posture that can cause serious and long-term health damage. By issuing tangible improvement instructions for each individual and also with regard to workplace design, this solution leads to a substantial reduction of occupational accidents and a safer and more healthy work environment.

Quality

In addition to the core technology, this Mimetik product features high-precision localization sensors. With this addon, the Quality Glove can detect an employee’s position and movement over time. This provides useful information regarding the areas covered as part of the work routine. Therefore, it is predestined for any maintenance applications and can reduce machine downtime caused by manual work by considerable 25%.

TRAINING

Our Mimetik digital trainer makes side-by-side training outdated. Mimetik gloves evaluate the progress and stimulate learning by heart through the development of muscle memory. The training of assembly line workers becomes more cost-efficient and faster. Even quickly changing learning contents can be digitized and updated with low effort.
