Employee 5.0 Systems
Our research boosts human productivity via methods and tools — either by providing cognitive and physical support to operators or by optimising human–machine interaction.
We focus on
Human performance and well-being
We develop hardware and software tools that enhance the skills, knowledge, and wellbeing of operators.
In an industry facing challenges such as an ageing workforce, staff turnover, and increasingly complex production environments, our tools help companies formalise knowledge, assess competences and wellbeing, and create targeted training paths that accelerate learning.
Our goal is to empower operators to perform at their best under any circumstances, with the right tools and machines.
Human factors engineering
We ensure that production systems are fully aligned with the sensory, cognitive, and physical abilities of the people who operate, maintain, and support them.
Our goals are to:
- Increase productivity and product quality in flexible manufacturing environments;
- Safeguard employee wellbeing through smart, supportive technologies.
We develop intelligent assistance systems that are:
- Intuitive – easy to use and understand;
- Personalised – tailored to the individual operator;
- Context-aware – adapting in real time to the situation.
By combining the digital twin of both the operator and the production system, we create technologies that truly enhance human performance. Since people are at the heart of our approach, all our solutions are developed with attention to GDPR and privacy requirements.
