Long hours on the assembly line can easily lead to fatigue. Tired workers are less efficient and more prone to errors. These problems can be avoided if assemblers are able to work within their physical capabilities, so it’s important to accurately assess fatigue on the line.

Software can help. For example, Tecnomatix Jack 8.0 modeling and simulation software from Siemens is a powerful tool for human-centric design and ergonomic analysis. It aids in creating work environments that are efficient, productive, ergonomic and safe.
