AviX® Ergo - visualized ergonomics

With an aging workforce and ever more complex requirements on the assembly line, ergonomics is moving into the centre of attention. AviX® Ergo brings a radical new approach to improving ergonomics at the workplace through evaluation of a video for improved quality and productivity.

AviX® Ergo combines the in-depth analysis of the workplace achieved by AviX® Method with the acknowledged Borg CR-10 scale to determine physiological strain levels at the work place, and in parallel assess psychological stress. Starting from the AviX® Method video analysis, categorizing the motions at the workplace into eight basic movements and four ergonomic modifiers, AviX® Ergo uses this for an interactive, video based analysis with the workers involved. Facilitated by an expert, the physiological strain and psychological stress levels are determined and visualized on-screen without delay.

Improvement measures can be immediately developed and mirrored back into the AviX® Method application, regularly resulting not only in the improvement of the working conditions, but also of productivity.

The underlying methodology of the Borg CR-10 scale has been one of the first widely used methods for ergonomics optimization, based on the groundbreaking work of Prof. Gunnar Borg from Stockholm University. Dating back to the 60ies in its origins, the first Borg scale was derived in the early 80ies. Today it is recognized as one of the shaping factors for Sweden’s worker centred productivity movement that laid the groundwork for today’s strong position of Sweden’s manufacturing industries.
