Ergonomic

With the retirement age being extended to 67, workplaces increasingly need to be designed and adapted to accommodate all ages. In view of the growing shortage of skilled workers, there is a greater focus on maintaining the health of each individual employee. With the aim of enabling people to work healthily until retirement age, new, individual strategies are constantly needed to solve specific problems.

We offer a combination of technologically advanced biomechatronic measuring instruments and a closely cooperating team from the fields of medicine, physiotherapy, sports science, neurophysiology as well as medical and mechanical engineering. This enables us to take a holistic, quantitative, and qualitative view of the various work processes. Through our interdisciplinary coordination, specific ergonomic alternatives can be developed and tested. We are also involved in the development of international safety standards for exoskeletons and wearable solutions.

Our key areas:

• Ergonomic workplace design through motion analysis of work processes in the laboratory and on site
• Individual, customer-specific concepts for actively powered and passive exoskeletons to relieve strain on the body
• Customized aids and tools to relieve workers during strenuous activities Process optimization through ergonomic and efficient assembly system design
