Repetitive work often implies a combination of repetitive motion in the hands and static loading of the neck and shoulders. The main risks are force, repetition, awkward posture, and insufficient recovery time.
The most prevalent region for pain and distress is the neck/shoulder region, followed by the elbow/wrist area. The most common diagnosis is "tension neck syndrome". It is most commonly diagnosed on the right side of the torso, which creates an imbalance of pain in the body.
Taking care of your assembly employees' health
There is a substantial potential for the prevention of repetitive strain injuries. To enable sustainable work conditions in assembly production, employers look into minimising repetitive motions and introducing more frequent employee breaks for recovery time. Yet, this may decrease productivity.
“One of the benefits from automation is that repetitive work gets reduced, employees can be used for more creative tasks that are enjoyable. From a business part, cobots increase output and quality. And the Omron Tm´s robot with embedded vision is a perfect match for screwdriving” – Jacob Hüttel – Field Sales Engineer for Omron Industrial Automation Europe
Increasing productivity and employee work satisfaction
But there is THE optimal solution. Manufacturers from various industries are gearing towards automation of their production. Technological advancements offered by cobots make an ideal work environment for human operators. Cobots are collaborative by enabling safe teamwork between the robot and an employee.
