Keywords: Ecodesign | machine-tools | visualization | energy flows | Simulation

The article deals with the development of tools supporting a higher degree of visualization in order to assess the workload of electrical appliances installed in machine-tools. A higher degree of visualization means to forward the interpretation of the results from commonly used tables, graphs, and also 2D visualization, to 3D visualization. This enables us a considerably easier orientation in the (…)

Analysis of human working postures designated for ergonomics can be performed by traditional measuring instruments – pen and paper. However, this method allows within a given period of time only a very limited count of ergonomic analyses with consideration of human error. Larger companies (especially automotive) have made considerable financial investments in Motion Capture (MoCap) devices in recen (…)
