The CROMM (Creation of Muscle Manikins) project (Vinnova Dnr 2012-04584) will result in a user friendly and highly automated software.
This software can be used in digital production preparation for the optimisation of human centred production systems that allow industry partners to:
- predict, visualise and evaluate musculoskeletal load on workers interacting with products and production systems.
- increase productivity in the product and production preparation process by performing production balancing in parallel with musculoskeletal load analyses on workers.
