We all know good ergonomics are crucial for operator safety and productivity, but how can we ensure a perfect fit during the design phase? Enter Virtual Reality (VR)!

This incredible technology allows us to assess ergonomics in a whole new way.

See how VR helps evaluate the design of a tool trolley for optimal comfort and efficiency:

The virtual environment lets us simulate real-world movements and identify potential issues with reach, posture, and overall usability.

Then, we transition to the real trolley. While it’s functional, the VR assessment helped us identify areas for improvement before it was built. This saves time, money, and – most importantly – prevents future discomfort for operators.

VR is a powerful tool for optimising ergonomics in machine design. By identifying and addressing potential issues early on, we can create machines that are not only functional but also comfortable and safe for operators to use.
