Man and machine

Keywords: human-oriented automation, human-machine-interaction, training simulators

The project concentrates on the systematic analysis and development of the human-process/machine-interaction. The aim is also the overall optimization of a work or process chain consisting of several individual machines or industrial processes. Generic theoretical background and practical tools for managing the human-machine combination will be developed in the project. This improves the service business of the participating equipment suppliers as well as the process effectiveness and product quality of the end user companies
