Plastering and insulation: 9 workers equipped with sensors, 31 hours of on-site measurements, and a plan featuring 20 MSD prevention solutions at Wereystenger.
MOTEN conducted a study for Bosch measuring hand-arm vibration exposure of a rotary hammer under real-world working conditions. The vibration value declared by a manufacturer is measured on the tool in a controlled environment, whereas the actual risk depends on usage—the consumable, the material being drilled, the technique, and fatigue. The MOTEN sensor is therefore placed on the worker to measure actual exposure.
Mécachrome called on MOTEN to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at its Sablé-sur-Sarthe site. Through two interventions, simple and targeted solutions significantly improved working conditions for operators—without heavy investment. A concrete example showing that prevention and performance can go hand in hand.
With Les Compagnons du Devoir in Normandy, apprentice masons, carpenters, roofers and joiners measured their effort and postures with MOTEN sensors to learn how to protect themselves.
At Mars Wrigley, five company firefighters were equipped during an exercise: measurements of effort and heart activity were used to adapt their medical monitoring, their training and the site's risk assessment.
With the MSA, MOTEN measured the effect of exoskeletons in milking parlours and cheese dairies: 23% less effort during milking, and one model ruled out for washing cheeses.
At Vossloh Switch Systems, three employees were equipped with MOTEN sensors: four critical situations were prioritised and 20 solutions adopted for the rail assembly workstation.
At the Kuehne+Nagel site in Mer, five order pickers were equipped with MOTEN sensors: picking emerged as the priority task, and 33 solutions were identified, 19 of them as priorities.
Mechanomyography (MMG) or surface electromyography (EMG): principles, applications, ease of use, precision and reliability of the two techniques for measuring muscle activity.
In one day on site, MOTEN measured the physical effort of an aerial platform operator at Schneider Electric Newlog: nearly 800 actions analysed in one hour and 19 improvements identified.
Forklift operators, heavy equipment operators, baggage handlers… about 7% of workers are exposed to vibration levels that are dangerous to their health. From lower back pain and MSDs to micro-trauma, the consequences are serious. Discover the 7 levers identified by MOTEN to reduce whole-body vibration exposure by at least 60%.
After nine months of collaboration, RATP shares its feedback on integrating physical assistance devices: active and passive exoskeletons, exoskeleton backpacks for mobile maintenance, cobotics, and more. A practical, field-focused webinar presented with RATP's innovation and ergonomics teams.
In a strained hospital sector, the HSTV group has bet on innovation to protect its caregivers. By deploying MOTEN sensors, HSTV is mapping the risks of MSDs and testing concrete solutions—including exoskeletons—to keep its teams in the workforce.
