PosCor
Motion tracking overalls designed to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in the SME manufacturing industry.
problem
As the proportion of elderly workers in the manufacturing industry continues to grow, so does the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Despite this well-documented trend, there is a lack of effective policies and preventative measures to support ageing workers and extend their careers. Without proactive solutions, these workers face increasing physical strain, leading to injuries that could force them out of the workforce prematurely, ultimately impacting both their well-being and industry productivity.
solution
PosCor is a four-step system designed to extend the working life of manufacturing industry employees by preventing musculoskeletal disorders. Using motion tracking technology, PosCor generates 3D simulations of workers' movements, enabling the development of personalised, data-driven solutions. The process begins with a physiotherapist visiting the workplace through an external provider, where workers are equipped with motion-tracking suits to monitor their movements over time. After the data collection period, the physiotherapist analyses the results and collaborates with the worker to implement tailored interventions. By identifying and addressing movement-related risks, PosCor helps reduce injury rates and improve long-term workplace health.
