The system is based on inertial sensors with integrated compensation of magnetic
interference and long wireless connection that permit its use also in heavy industrial applications.
Inertial Sensors are comprised of accelerometers and gyros. Accelerometers measure change of velocity and gyros measure angle of change.
A specific set of tools has been developed in order to elaborate the collected motion data and give realtime
evaluation and feedback of ergonomics based on the most used methodologies and extended with
others advanced ad hoc tools, such as hands positions analysis, travel distance, time and methods collection
calculations.
The system has been applied to two different warehouses both for the re-design of the
storage area and successively management of the typical warehousing activities, such as picking, packing
and others, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and simultaneous increasing of productivity of
systems.
