Future production will be characterized by complementarity between man and automation, particularly with regard to the production of highly customizable products.
This requires new methods and tools for the design and operation of workplaces optimised in terms of ergonomics, safety, efficiency, complexity management and job satisfaction.
MANUWORK it aims to focus on developing an integrated platform for managing the production workplaces of the future.This occurs through the development, implementation and verification of various technological components such as a framework for adaptive support for the production area and for industrial social networks, based on an industrial social networking platform (ISN), that is RAPpID, and methods for acquiring social knowledge and analysis.
An important objective is the active and passive use of information by workers, without storing personal data, in order to maintain the confidentiality of the person involved.
This is done through the direct use of data for the calculation of workplace model factors for the dynamic assignment of workers according to the groups to which (e.g belong. age group).
Finally, MANUWORK fine-tunes and validates research and technological developments in three industrial pilot demonstrators (aerospace, automotive and people with disabilities), following a validation in an industrial pre-pilot (machine tool sector).
