VIVELAB ERGOViveLab Ergo is a high-performance cloud computing innovative simulation system that is perfectly
capable of modeling machines, robots and people moving in a given physical environment.
Harmonizing the co-operation of these three elements in the industry's 4.0 era is an indispensable
task. Using an anthropometric database containing millions of samples, it precisely models
ninety-nine percent of human population's anthropometric characteristics. It highlights the
health-damaging effects of forced movements caused by incorrect workplace design.

Using the cloud-based 3D simulation software ViveLab Ergo, users can - by themselves or with the
help of ergonomics experts - simulate, analyse and improve the interactions between human,
machine and the work environment more precisely, faster and easier than ever before. With the help
of the ViveLab Ergo software the ergonomic analysis of constructions is possible in the planning
phase without prototype production by simulation in the virtual space. The software also provides a
solution for the corrective analysis of existing workplaces.
ONLINEThanks to the cloud-based software, the
experts can be invited by the user from
geographically distant parts of the world to
collaborate in the user's own virtual
laboratory. They can this way carry out the
analyses and interpret the results together.
We offer a theoretical and practical training
for our partners giving them the chance to
acquire the necessary skills.
ONSITEThe entire process, from the inspection in the
production area through the motion
measurement and analysis up to the
evaluation of the results and the elaboration
of the necessary measures, can be carried
out by the ergonomics expert team. The
ergonomics experts can optionally check
which workplaces can be automated or where
it is possible to employ ageing workers or
workers with changed work ability.

Our specialists walk through the production area and inspect it in order to get to know the structure
of the factory and the type of workplaces. They make employee interviews as well. It will be
determined to which risk category the different workstations of the company belong in terms of
workload, health hazard and the possibility of accidents.
On request, we can assess the modifications needed to expand the range of potential workers in
order to employ older persons and people with changed working ability.
As a result, they get a detailed picture of the ergonomic issues affecting the company and their
severity. They select the workstations requiring immediate action, where additional instrumental
testing is required to make accurate suggestions.

company

An accurate ergonomic analysis requires
objectively measured motion data. We
perform the sensory movement capture with
the aid of the market leader Xsens Motion
Capture system on those workstations, which
was selected by the customer or was
suggested during screening by our
ergonomists.
The Xsens motion capture system has been
developed in order to measure and record the
movements of the whole body. The equipment
works with inertial sensors, biomechanical
models and sensor fusion algorithms. The
Xsens suit is a non-obtrusive solution, making
sure the workers can move natural and
realistic. The motion capture system can be
used in all environments, including industrial
plants with lots of magnetic interference, the
motion capture data will not be affected.
With the help of a sensory measurement
system you can capture any human motion at
any time, which include improper movements,
forced postures that cannot be captured by
human eye.
Result:We perform 3 movement files of a given workstation within 45 minutes that can be imported into the ViveLab Ergo software

MOTION CAPTURE MEASUREMENT
Our ergonomics specialists can accurately examine the placement, layout and space requirements
of the machines and the workforce relative to each other. If the CAD files that are required for the
analysis are not available, then the 3D scan of the work environment can be created by our partner
company. The accuracy of the scanned machine-environment model is sufficient to create combined
with the digital human a comprehensive simulation model.
Result: CAD files about the machines and the environment.
3D SCANNINGIn lack of CAD files necessary for the examination
VIVELAB ERGO LTD. | VIVELAB.CLOUD | INFO@VIVELABERGO.COM
Allows predictive decision elaboration based on simulation. Imported motion files and CAD files in
ViveLab Ergo's three-dimensional virtual environment can be viewed from any angle.
Our ergonomics specialists analyze the motions captured with seven analyzes (RULA, OWAS,
NASA-OBI, ISO 11226, EN 1005-4, reachability zone analysis, spaghetti diagram) built into the
system, hence, they can filter improper movements and forced postures that cannot be noticed with
visual inspection.
The body structure, sex, age and origin of the character can be changed, hence, the working
environment can be tested for workers with all kinds of features.
The results can be seen in real time. It is also possible to create a PDF documentation of the detailed
analysis. It takes only a few mouse clicks. The report highlights the positions where ergonomic
measures have to be taken to improve the quality of the workplace.

During the detailed analysis, ergonomics experts specify the possible organizational, technical and
individual actions. They create a modification plan report, that contains a set of recommendations.
Our ergonomics specialists interpret all proposals together with the customer in a workshop, then
select and schedule the actions to be implemented. Our goal is not only to interpret and explain the
contents of the protocol but to achieve that the customer commits itself to implement the measures
proposed in the protocol according to the specified schedule.

In the phase of technical planning, our ergonomics specialists are offering counseling, collaborative
work and virtual validation and verification tests. During the tests, it is checked without prototype
production in a virtual space whether the product/component meets the requirements.
Upon request after implementation, impact analysis and measurements are carried out.
We simulate the prospective employee
movements, the objective angles of the
posture, the frequency and duration of their
moves according to the corrected workstation's
CAD model and the work instructions.
With the help of the Xsens sensor suit, in place
of the worker, the ergonomic issues and
deficiencies can be easily recognized.
Thanks to the extensive built-in anthropometric database, the various parameters of the digital
human character can be set as desired, such as sex, age, physique. In this way, we can test it for
any of these characteristics while just one measurement has to be done.
With this examination, we can recognize and correct the potential deficit points of the planned
workstation. This test can also be useful for workstations in the design phase.
On request, our experts are available for further consultation*.
Result: CAD files about the machines and the environment.
IMPLEMENTATION

In the profile comparison, we compile two
profiles based on the workstation requirements
and the employee's capabilities according to the
same criteria. In the knowledge of the two
profiles we assign the appropriate profile
employee to the workstations. This method
provides assistance in scheduling shifts,
substituting and integrating workers with
changed abilities and older workers.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
PROFILE COMPARISON
We offer different training for EHS managers,
HR managers, Process engineers and Design
engineers so they can learn how to recognize
the ergonomic issues and find a solution for
them. Besides, we teach them how to use the
Vivelab Ergo software and the Xsens Motion
Capture system enabling them to do the
ergonomic measurements and analyses on
their own.
