“…Against the background of demographic change, an overall view presupposes the early inclusion of employees with performance changes in the planning process. There are now approaches to integrate age-related performance changes into digital human models (Wirsching and Spitzhirn 2019;Spitzhirn et al 2022b). These open up new possibilities in perspective, ability-based work design and in the generation of workplace specifications.…”

“…individual qualifications, skill limitations, availability). In this regard, the first steps have been taken with regard to age-related ability changes (Wirsching and Spitzhirn 2019;Spitzhirn et al 2022b). Recent developments in sensor technology allow performant use of human activity recognition and adaptable work systems (Schlund and Kostolani 2022).…”

Digital ergonomics and digital work planning in university education: experiences from Germany and Austria

et al. 2022

The publication presents an overview of the use of digital human models (DHM) in academic education at five exemplary universities in Germany and Austria. In addition to the presentation of different human models, the integration of them into the respective lectures is discussed. The teaching concepts of the individual courses of the universities, exercise examples and scenarios are presented. Experience shows that the active and independent use of digital ergonomics tools gives students pleasure and motivates them to deal intensively with complex tasks in terms of time and content. Feedback is consistently positive over all the involved lectures and universities. As a consequence of the recent Covid-19 pandemic, universities significantly increased online and blended learning. Based on the experience with the use of digital human models, the paper derives recommendations for future developments.Practical RelevanceTo sustain global value chains, companies are increasingly planning trans-regionally adapted products and production processes. Tools for digital ergonomics contribute to increasing competitiveness by using prospective working methods. Companies increasingly need experts with the corresponding know-how. Firmly anchoring the topic of digital ergonomics in relevant subjects of university teaching is therefore a prerequisite for this transfer of trained graduates.
