Ergonomics Analysis in the Context of a Digital Factory

The paper deals with possibilities of using ergonomics analyses in the area of a digital factory with the focus on the load on the human musculoskeletal system. The emphasis is put on results of research aimed at connecting simulation software with inertial and optical MoCap systems. The importance of such analyses is to achieve the most exact estimation of consequences on human health, already within the stage when the work systems design begins. The paper comprises theoretical starting points, results of laboratory verification and results of realisation outputs.
