Our Approach

HSSMI’S approach to Virtual build and ergonomic planning uses Using human-centred simulation tools such as Digital Human Models (DHMs) and Virtual Reality (VR) to model how operators interact with products, tools, and workstations. , assessing human factors during tasks like reach and posture, and optimise workspace design before any physical changes are made.

1. Digital Design: Design engineers create detailed 3D models of products, workstations, or entire factory layouts.
2. Virtual Manikins: Scalable virtual manikins representing different human statures and anthropometric data are integrated into the 3D models.
3. Simulation: We program the manikins to perform tasks, their movements are tracked, and their interactions with the environment are simulated using VR or DHM software.
4. Analysis: We use the latest software to analyses the manikins’ poses and movements to identify potential ergonomic problems, such as awkward reaches, excessive bending, or strain on joints.
5. Iteration and Optimisation: Based on the analysis, we can make quick, cost-effective adjustments to the design, re-test them in the virtual environment, and iterate until an ergonomically sound solution is achieved
