What is meant by Workers?
The term "worker" in simulation software refers to a simulated or real individual who performs manual tasks in a production process or manufacturing environment. In the simulation, the movements, tasks, and workflows of the worker are modeled to analyze and optimize efficiency, ergonomics, and workload in production systems.
Typical software functions in the area of "worker":
- Workflow Simulation: Simulation and analysis of the worker's workflows to identify potential bottlenecks, waiting times, or inefficient movements.
- Ergonomics Analysis: Evaluation of physical strain and ergonomic aspects of the worker's tasks to minimize health risks and improve workplace safety.
- Productivity Measurement: Analysis of a worker's performance to assess productivity and identify potential areas for optimization.
- Resource Allocation: Planning and assigning workers to specific tasks or machines based on skills, availability, and production requirements.
- Shift Planning: Support in scheduling shifts and breaks to distribute the workload among workers and avoid overworking.
- Virtual Reality (VR) Training: Use of VR technology to provide workers with training in a simulated environment before integrating them into real production processes.
