This comprehensive book offers readers a timely and insightful overview of the latest developments in human factors research and methodologies, with a particular focus on enhancing the integration of technologies and humans throughout the entire manufacturing cycle. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring a safe and efficient industrial environment for workers, optimizing the efficiency of manufacturing processes, producing high-quality final products, and effectively distributing and utilizing them by customers. The book addresses timely issues related to the automation of manufacturing processes and the challenges posed by the implementation of industry 4.0, additive manufacturing, and 3D printing technologies.
Contributions from a diverse range of industrial sectors, including automotive, healthcare, and construction, showcase organizational and engineering solutions that promote sustainability, globalization, customization, worker well-being, and consumer satisfaction. Drawing from the AHFE 2021 Conferences on Human Aspects of Advanced Manufacturing, Advanced Production Management and Process Control, and Additive Manufacturing, Modeling Systems, and 3D Prototyping, held virtually from the USA on July 25th to 29th, 2021, this book combines ergonomic research and technical expertise in manufacturing and product design. It caters to a wide audience of engineers, designers, and professionals involved in the future integration of technologies and humans in manufacturing factories.
The book begins by providing an introduction to human factors research and its significance in improving the integration of technologies and humans in manufacturing. It then delves into various topics, including workplace design, ergonomics, human-machine interaction, and cognitive engineering. Each chapter is authored by experts in their respective fields, ensuring a comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the latest research and practices.
One of the key themes of the book is the importance of considering human factors in the design and development of manufacturing technologies. It highlights the need for a holistic approach that considers not only the technical aspects of the system but also the psychological and physiological needs of workers. The book discusses various design principles and methodologies that can be used to create user-friendly and safe manufacturing environments, such as task analysis, human-centered design, and participatory design.
Another important aspect of the book is the integration of automation and robotics in manufacturing processes. It explores the benefits and challenges of automation, such as increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and improved product quality. The book also discusses the role quality and safety of the industrial environment for workers, the efficiency of the manufacturing processes themselves, the quality of the final product, and its distribution to and use by the customers.
The book further discusses timely issues relating to the automation of the manufacturing processes, and the challenges imposed by the implementation of industry 4.0, additive manufacturing, and 3D printing technologies. Contributions cover a range of industrial sectors, such as the automotive, health and constructions ones, highlighting both organizational and engineering solutions fostering sustainability, globalization, customization, workers well-being and consumers satisfaction, among other issues.
In conclusion, this comprehensive book provides readers with a valuable resource for understanding the latest developments in human factors research and methodologies, with a particular focus on enhancing the integration of technologies and humans throughout the entire manufacturing cycle. It emphasizes the importance of promoting a safe and efficient industrial environment, optimizing manufacturing processes, producing high-quality final products, and effectively distributing and utilizing them by customers. By addressing timely issues related to automation, industry 4.0, additive manufacturing, and 3D printing technologies, the book contributes to the development of a more sustainable and technologically advanced manufacturing industry.
