Project of the Month
„Ergonomic improvement by Human-Machine-Interaction“
INITIAL SITUATION
· Increased sickdays or Workmen Compensation Insurance cases by workers
· Difficulties to recruit workers requiring ongoing heavy lifting
· Systems of job rotation leads to lower productivity

Staging of material, order picking or packaging processes is under the same time pressure for productivity and through-put time as production processes do.
Additionaly, these processes include often of lifting and lowering of significant weight. In the long-term such strains will lead to work related injuries.
Inteligent „power suit“ or exoskeletons combine advantage of a human worker with machine power, by supporting and / or strengthening the worker actively, wearing the apperatus.
Besides the reduced risk of injuries due to long-term exposure to strenous work, these exoskeletons also increase productivity and reduce errors.
