Manual labour is an important cornerstone in manufacturing and will also be in the future smart factories. In a new project, we are investigating innovative workplace designs for wellbeing providing positive contributions to the physiological and mental health of workers.
We take a human centred approach while utilising advanced opportunities of smart industry technologies and methods. The goal is to develop smart, shape-changing workstations that self-adapt to the unique physical and cognitive needs of a worker. The workstations are responsive, they interact in real-time, and promote dynamic activities and varying physical exertion through understanding the context of work.
The project follows a clear interdisciplinary approach and brings together fields like production engineering, human interaction design, creative design techniques, and social impact assessment. Developments take place in an industrial scale testbed at the University of Twente but also within an industrial manufacturing factory nearby.
