Work(s) Ergo
Works(s) Ergo provides advanced ergonomics assessment tools that complement Visual Components’ simulation capabilities, helping users evaluate human performance and musculoskeletal risk directly within digital manufacturing environments.
Work(s)™ Ergonomics Analysis
Work(s) Ergo brings science-based ergonomics into modern manufacturing design. Through its integration with Visual Components, the Work(s)™ platform helps users evaluate the risk of injury and fatigue directly within 3D production simulations, turning ergonomic insights into better design decisions. By combining biomechanical precision with an intuitive interface, Work(s)™ enables engineers and ergonomists to create safer, more efficient workflows before production even begins.
Overview
Work(s)™ by Work(s) Ergo is a cloud-based ergonomics analysis tool that integrates with Visual Components to assess the risk of injury and fatigue in manufacturing layouts. Users can export posture and task data from simulations to Work(s)™ for a full ergonomics evaluation, with results such as posture, joint demands and risk scores visualized alongside the 3D model, helping ensure safety, comfort, and efficiency during the design stage.
