Case study of utilizing "VP-Ergono" to address invisible risks and protect the health of workers.
In the logistics industry, where tasks that impose burdens are performed momentarily, the daily strain can accumulate, leading to significant health risks. Because the tasks are not complex, differences in individual posture can arise, resulting in substantial disparities over time. By analyzing the working posture in various situations and providing guidance on safe working postures, we can mitigate the occurrence of overlooked invisible risks and protect the health of workers. ↓↓ Here is a video introducing examples of applications in logistics. ■ About Load Analysis "Visualizing the analyzed load values in an easy-to-understand manner" Instead of asking "how much load is there?" when adopting a "high-load posture" during a series of work movements or maintaining it, we analyze and display the harmfulness based on the improvement requirements of the OWAS method using a four-level evaluation. "Analyzing the load on each joint for comprehensive judgment" We analyze the load on ten major joints of the human body and assess the load conditions felt strongly during work as "back," "upper limbs," and "lower limbs." This is displayed as an easily understandable indicator for overall improvement requirements.

■About the OWAS Method The OWAS method is an analysis technique for posture measurement developed in Finland to address issues related to working postures. It is utilized as a major international system, with established evaluation criteria for assessing the overall workload of workers. However, there were some issues when evaluating, such as: - Classification by human hands takes time and effort - Results can vary depending on the evaluator's know-how and intuition Our product resolves these issues by using AI to automatically analyze the worker's load and provide quantitative automatic evaluations.

■Usage Scenarios in Manufacturing Industry "Improving Workload and Equipment Environment on Production Lines" The workload of tasks on a production line can vary among workers, even for the same task. By obtaining specific metrics through VP-Ergono, it becomes possible to evaluate whether excessive loads are being placed on workers due to awkward postures. Additionally, based on the data obtained from VP-Ergono, you can utilize ergonomic perspectives to adjust the height of workbenches and chairs, thereby improving the work environment. This helps minimize the workload during tasks, prevent workplace accidents, and contribute to the maintenance of workers' health.

■Usage Scenarios in the Construction Industry "Discovering Health Risk and Easy Posture Improvement" In the construction industry, which is also experiencing an aging workforce, the incidence of lower back pain accounts for 14% of all industries and is expected to increase in the future. By introducing VP-Ergono, which is believed to be underutilized for task evaluation on-site, it becomes easy to analyze and detect potential health risks early. This leads to improvements in creating a healthy and sustainable working environment. Without disrupting daily operations, real-time posture improvement can be expected through quick and easy evaluations powered by AI.

■Usage Scenarios in the Logistics Industry "Addressing Invisible Risks to Protect Workers' Health" In the logistics industry, where tasks can impose sudden physical strain, the accumulation of daily stress can lead to serious health issues. Because the tasks may not be complex, variations in individual posture can arise, leading to significant differences over time. By analyzing work postures in various situations and providing guidance on safe working postures, we can mitigate the occurrence of previously overlooked invisible risks and contribute to protecting workers' health.

■Usage Scenarios in the Service Industry "The Ripple Effect of Quality Improvement through Improved Work Posture" The burden of work posture is often neglected even in scenes we encounter regularly. In the service industry, there are many situations where the same tasks are performed in the same posture, but few companies are actively working on improvements. This is largely due to the significant burden on companies in terms of establishing benchmark standards and securing personnel for analysis. By implementing a system that clearly displays evaluations and improving the working environment for staff, it is expected that the retention of experienced employees and the reduction of workload will lead to enhanced service quality.
