[Interaction-ergonomic design and compatibility of AR-supported information displays using the example of a head-mounted display for industrial set-up processes].

In the course of technological progress, analog solutions are increasingly replaced by digital ones. In this context, novel visualization options, such as Augmented Reality (AR), are more and more important. However, handling AR-based information displays can lead to performance losses and increased physical as well as psychological strain if the design is incompatible.

A Review and Qualitative Meta-Analysis of Digital Human Modeling and Cyber-Physical-Systems in Ergonomics 4.0.

Occupational ApplicationsFounded in an empirical case study and theoretical work, this paper reviews the scientific literature to define the role of Digital Human Modeling (DHM), Digital Twin (DT), and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to inform the emerging concept of Ergonomics 4.0. We find that DHM evolved into DT is a core element in Ergonomics 4.

Order-picking in deep cold--physiological responses of younger and older females. Part 2: body core temperature and skin surface temperature.

So far, it was unclear to what extent working in deep cold-storage depots has an influence on female order-pickers body core temperature and skin surface temperature considering different age groups. Physiological effects of order-picking in a chill room (+3°C) and cold store (-24°C) were examined on 30 female subjects (Ss), classified in two age groups (20- to 35- year-olds and 40- to 65-year-olds). The body core temperature was taken every 15 min at the tympanum and the skin surface temperature was recorded continuously at seven different positions.

Order-picking in deep cold--physiological responses of younger and older females. Part 1: heart rate.

The sales figures of chilled and frozen food have been rising steadily over the years. Naturally, this has also led to an increase in the number of jobs related to these goods. While these workplaces are becoming more and more important there are, nevertheless, only a few investigations into the effects of working in deep cold on humans.
