Optimization of Ergonomics in Industrial Companies Based on Artificial Intelligence: Literature Review

The objective of the ergonomics assessment is to improve general well-being at work by establishing an environment adapted to humans in terms of safety, health, and productivity. An in-depth analysis of physical ergonomics helps to determine the risk factors by job, quantify, prioritize, and subsequently develop appropriate control actions to control and reduce these factors. However, the use of traditional observation methods in ergonomics remains insufficient in terms of evaluating the working posture from the point of view of stability and measurement precision. The majority of methods are based on filling out questionnaires to collect information from the workstation. Artificial intelligence has demonstrated its essential contribution to work situations. Projects integrating AI have demonstrated a significant contribution in this type of situation and thus constitute a challenge for ergonomics. This paper will seek to analyze the contributions of the combination of the technologies offered by AI and the sciences of ergonomics. To do this, we will carry out a literature review on the impact of the introduction of new technologies to remedy the shortcomings of traditional methods used in ergonomics and the comparison between technologies. They are currently used.
