ERGO 4.0 - DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PERSONALIZATION SYSTEMS FOR SEAT FURNITURE WITH AN OPTIMIZED COMFORT INDEX FOR EACH USER




DESCRIPTION

In the purchase of ergonomic furniture, the consumer suffers a certain degree of disorientation given the high number of products that fall under the name of "ergonomic" and the little objective information that, sometimes, is behind that term. It is necessary that furniture manufacturing companies, from the conception of the product, at the design stage, incorporate ergonomic considerations, to be able to differentiate themselves from the competition and to be able to market products with added value. The biggest problem in referring to the ergonomics of seat furniture type products is the quantification of comfort granted by the product based on objective and subjective parameters. Another limitation in the use of ergonomics as an efficient tool in the design of products, is that the valuation will be different if it is a person or another (with different tastes, body masses or heights).

OBJECTIVES

The main objective of the project is the development of a tool that allows manufacturers of seating furniture to offer their customers customized products, adapted to the anthropometric dimensions of each user from the point of view of obtaining maximum comfort.
