EAP

Ergonomics Assessment Platform (EAP) is an innovative software designed specifically for conducting real-time ergonomics assessments within industrial settings. Its primary objective was to explore the feasibility of using image recognition AI as an alternative to conventional evaluations conducted by ergonomists using pen and paper or expensive sensor-based systems. The outcome is a software solution still under development that democratizes the field of ergonomics assessment, making it affordable for small companies.

Design Brief

The project aimed to develop and implement a strategy to assess physical
ergonomics with the help of an image recognition AI. However, it had to deal with the following constraints: 1.Low consumption of resources; 2.RULA assessment method; 3.Python as programming language; 4.Real-time assessments.

The solution

EAP aims to democratize ergonomics assessments, addressing a significant challenge faced by small companies who struggle to afford evaluations for their workers due to resource constraints. By using EAP, all that is required is a camera and a computer to conduct these assessments. Workers themselves can perform them by recording their actions and analyzing them later, or they can be assessed in real time by a colleague. This system provides preliminary assessments, serving as an indicator for more specialized ones if necessary.
