6. Conclusion
The real challenge of designing optimal workstations for the future and improving existing workstations is twofold:
better consideration of the physical, anthropometric, psychophysiological and cognitive characteristics of the human operator;
optimized integration of new technologies into workstations, using simulation methodologies to reproduce a realistic context.
Ergonomics is a genuine engineering science which, while borrowing knowledge from the academic sciences, the so-called human sciences, physiology and psychology, translates this knowledge into practical know-how enabling not only workstations to be optimized, but also workloads to be regulated, and work processes to be improved and made safer. Finally, ergonomics improves our knowledge of incident and accident...
