The
database system EKIDES (Ergonomics Knowledge and Intelligent Design
System) assists designers of technical systems, equipment, products
and workplaces to meet ergonomic requirements for all system components
and their interactions during the planning, development and subsequent
design and blueprint processes. EKIDES is a design tool in form
of an electronic reference system and an evaluation tool for work
places and products.
The ergonomic tests can be carried out by using the Basic, Consulting
or Product Modules of EKIDES. Furthermore, if the required measurement
equipment is not available, or if a qualitative task or product
analysis is sufficient, the module Checklist may be used.
