Requirement and Context Analysis
We evaluate the specific needs of the industrial environment, user profiles, and tasks to be performed to define parameters for load, mobility, and durability.
This project tackled the challenge of designing a workstation for assembly operators who had to handle parts weighing up to 15 kg during 8-hour shifts. The focus was on analyzing body load distribution and optimizing lumbar and arm support angles. The implemented solution reduced reported muscle fatigue by 40% and increased productivity on the assembly line.
A methodical approach to transforming technical requirements into furniture solutions that optimize body support and efficiency in the work environment.
We evaluate the specific needs of the industrial environment, user profiles, and tasks to be performed to define parameters for load, mobility, and durability.
We develop human silhouette diagrams and simulate pressure distribution to identify critical points for lumbar and joint support.
We define the geometry, materials (light wood, steel), and optimal angles of each component to ensure stability and prolonged comfort.
We manufacture a functional prototype for real ergonomic testing, adjusting cross-section plans based on load test results.
We coordinate final manufacturing with validated adjustments, ensuring each workstation meets technical design and structural ergonomics standards.
