“…The next stage in the research may be to expand the categories of technical and functional features with the related ergonomic assessment. Such an assessment may be an important contribution to the development of research resulting from the personal experiences of users of equipment, especially those intended for manual operation [30].…”

Creating new research concepts is an important element in supporting the development of production systems and their components, including technical equipment. Many technical devices are characterized by a high degree of complexity, which justifies the need for a specific approach to their assessment and becomes an inspiration to search for innovative methods of assessment. As part of the proposed new approach to the assessment of technical objects, studies were carried out in which users of chainsaws assessed their technical and functional features, taking into account the options: advantage and disadvantage. The number of positive and negative assessments of a given feature was used in the developed methodology to calculate the utility potential index. The proposed formula for calculating the utility potential index is a contribution to the current state of knowledge in the field of evaluation of technical objects and their features, as well as comparisons between technical objects. Based on the definition of the utility potential index, its value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. The conducted research and calculation results indicated the accumulation of the lowest and the highest values of the utility potential index for one of the functional features, i.e., the price of the equipment. The utilitarian effect of the study is the creation of a tool supporting the selection of equipment for the needs of its users. The research results can also be used as a suggestion for the improvement of the indicated features of technical devices by their manufacturers.

“…1005-3 (EN 1500 and SES (Scania Ergonomic Standard), furthermore, in his research, Joshi & Desphande said that the most widely used in measurements were REBA, RULA, OWAS, OCRA and QEC, in line with the literature review in this article. Some of the articles analyzed in this literature review are simulated using systems or tools/machines directly but the numbers are still small, Sharma et al (2021) said in his research entitled systematic review of methodologies and techniques of ergonomics that it is still very rare for research to combine ergonomics in manual design, especially in low-income countries, Sharma recommends virtual design apps.…”

In the era of sustainable development, humans are a system because of their role in development. The food industry is growing fast at this time, and it is important for the sustainability of a country, while the human factor and ergonomics will provide benefits if applied. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a literature study. This study aims to provide a better understanding and research opportunities on human factors and ergonomics in the food industry. This review literature search was carried out using Publish and Perish based on the Google Scholar database with the search year 2015-2022, then checking the journals one by one. There were twenty-seven articles discussing human factors and ergonomics in the food industry. Based on the year of research, research on human factors and ergonomics began in 2017 and has increased every year until 2019. RULA, SNQ, and REBA are the ergonomics data analysis techniques most widely used by researchers, and Elsevier became the publisher most used. The focus of the research area is large on improving ergonomics. The discussion of human factors and ergonomics can be implemented in various sectors, including the food industry, the integration of human factors with other fields is also worth considering.

Anthropometry is a widely used tool across scientific disciplines like, clinical nutrition for assessing growth, body composition and anticipating the health risks, and clothing industry for customized designing. The conventional tools such as the calipers and measuring taps are now being replaced by the digital devices. Among digital devices, the latest technology revolves around low cost 3-D optical imaging techniques which finds their application in all domains including clinical, research and even day-today lives. The literature survey here was carried out in SCOPUS and fifteen research articles, meeting the inclusion criteria, were selected for this review. The study indicated the propensity of the USA and image processing technologies in contactless anthropometric measurements. The consistent studies since 1996 and the domination of the application of the anthropometric data in health services and textile industry suggest necessity of this study. This study utilizes the domain of the optical imaging techniques and provide an overview of the potential applications, operational details and validation studies. The contactless anthropometry is rapidly transforming the static and dormant areas of ergonomics with numerous research opportunities and novel applications.
