AIM (Work Assistance System for the Individualization of Work Design and Method Training)
Project Management: | Sebastian Rentsch |
Collaborators: | Dr. Marcus Schmidt |
Client: | BMBF |
Duration: | 01.06.2016 - 31.05.2019 |
Goals and contents
The "AIM" project uses smart devices as individual, mobile assistance systems at industrial workplaces to develop a new component of workplace health promotion (WHP). The core components of the project consist of context-sensitive information provision, analysis of movement data, and individual method training for employees. The assistance system to be developed is based on various smart devices (smartwatch or smartphone) and provides context-sensitive process-relevant data. Furthermore, it reports back individually tailored health-related information, e.g. ergonomic assessments of the employees' movements. The motion data recording and analysis required for this is also supported by the assistance system. In this way, the assistance system will enable behavior-oriented health promotion measures to be integrated directly into everyday working life in the future.
Current processing status
Completion of the final conception of an adequate motion analysis algorithm based on motion science pattern recognition methods. The goal in the 3rd project year is the final development of a prototype based on (a) test measurements in the laboratory and (b) validation on the store floor of the industrial project partner.
