Turn ergonomics into your competitive advantage

Operability, comfort and safety are the key factors for the market success of products. Integrating ergonomics in product development from planning right through to series production places high demands on competence, processes and resources. Together with our experts, you can break new ground, secure highly qualified competence at peak times and significantly improve your overall performance. This is no exaggeration. After all, we’ve proven it many times before.

 

Competence and resources

 

Simulation and field studies

 

Real and digital test collectives

Our range of services

As specialists for ergonomics, we offer you a special combination of expertise, data, methods and tools to make your products successful and strengthen your processes.

Test collectives

Representative for your market and your product

Basic reach and positioning

The central ergonomic parameters for your CAD mockup

Real ergonomic protection

From design to evaluation

Interior Design

Digital ergonomic protection

Insourcing

Outsourcing

Coaching

Full service: Product design

Ensure optimum comfort and safe handling at the highest level. We take over the implementation of ergonomics studies for entire vehicles or sub-projects from the planning stage to the transfer of results – and if required, we’ll use third-party studies to supplement the ergonomics simulation with RAMSIS. You’ll receive your study results fully documented and comprehensibly prepared.

Innovation: Ergonomics 4.0

Create fresh impetus for better products and future models. The world of ergonomics is changing. Autonomous driving, car sharing and increasing demands from international markets are creating new challenges for ergonomics. We will bring new technical possibilities and research results to your product ergonomics – exact test person pools, benchmarks, field studies and basic design for new vehicle concepts.

Agile Development: Engineering as a Service

We will provide you with support that exactly meets your requirements using outsourcing, insourcing or project coaching. If there is a lack of skilled workers or if they are needed at peak times, we will support you in all areas of ergonomic product design. Our experts will bring their experience and manpower to your organization on a project or contract basis.

Best Practices

Full-service outsourcing, individual studies and real security from our everyday life with ergonomics

Design for electric cars

Creation of RAMSIS manikins, analysis of the existing package, improvement of seat adjustment ranges.

Digital ergonomics benchmark

Comparison of models with competitor models in terms of vision, reachability, seating position and adjustment ranges.

SAE design for OEM in Asia

SAE design with new RAMSIS test collective (including BMI +25), with specification creation and a RAMSIS license.

Ergonomics from A to Z

Choose one of our study packages to take your product forward in comfort, ease of use and safety – and of course you can also examine specific issues together with us.

Perform the usability test

In the Usability laboratory, the ergonomic quality of the operability of products and product elements (such as displays and steering wheels) is compared through observation and questioning. This is based on the jointly developed requirement definitions, plus interface design and evaluation with VDI 2222 – and the result is a comprehensive benchmark for the ergonomics of your product.

Complete check: Ergonomics 360°

Get an exact overview of the ergonomic quality and the ergonomic improvement potential of your products. This analysis is also possible in a comparison with several vehicles.

Complete check: target group 50+

Impressive purchasing power means different requirements. Our experts check how well your vehicle performs in terms of vision, perception, mobility and power – and how fit it is for demographic transition.

Load check

Perform a forces & moment analysis to check that your vehicle can be easily operated (or even at all!). Among other things, our experts will determine the maximum force forecasts for you, or calculate torques in the neck area, e.g. during extreme maneuvers with and without a helmet.

Ingress /Egress analyses

Using a combination of fields and virtual studies, we will show you the critical phases of ingress and egress – and uncover enormous improvement potential for your vehicle as a result.

Seats tests

We check seat length & width, backrest height, seat contours, lateral support and operability using physical test benches and simulations – and we define the basic ergonomic reference points (also in compliance with SAE standards).

Vision check

We will support you with your CAD analysis of the external field of vision (with visual occlusion using A/B/C columns), in the determination of the visual quality when looking at instruments, and the required gaze aversion times – and we’ll also help you to draw the right conclusions from the study results.

Safety tests

Ensure standard-compliant belt routing over the manikin and test device (e.g. Gabarit, Hybrid III, Q Dummy) at an early stage – alternatively, belt routing can also be ensured using a real test collective in the real vehicle.

Secure marketing authorization

Digital allows you to ensure compliance with visual standards at an early stage in the digital model. This saves a lot of time in product development.
