Spot-welding posture analysis using captiv t-sens wireless motion sensors

In today's increasingly concerned society for employee wellbeing, ergonomics has started to gain ground and continuously develop by using modern technologies with the final purpose to provide better measurements and corrective actions. In the food industry, many welding tasks are done manually. Thus, the present research aims to analyze the worker's posture in a specific spot-welding situation with the help of CAPTIV 7000 Premier software and motion sensors. The results prove the usability of the proposed technology and opens the door to easier ergonomics analyses for all kinds of operators.
