TNO - Knowledge for business

Designing workplaces

A well designed workplace is crucial to be able to work fast, well and amenably. Whether it’s in industry, a distribution centre of warehouse, office or cab, TNO has the right expertise and experience.

Our approach always involves those working in the primary process. This is crucial for evaluating and developing an optimum workplace that has the support of these people. We can also do the following for you:

  • Evaluate the existing workplaces in terms of the ergonomic and productivity issues
  • Assess the physical strain according to green(safe)-orange-red (risky)
  • Solve the issues using Ergomix
  • Calculate the costs and benefits of improving the workplace
Being able to deploy your employees flexibly is crucial for your company. TNO helps you closely track the fluctuations in your sales market and respond accordingly in ways such as:
  • dealing with contracts innovatively
  • designing smart work schedules
  • making sensible use of multi-deployment

Ergomix smart design tool

Ergomix is the TNO resource for the rapid design of good workplaces Ergomix. It is a simple but effective simulation tool. Employees are shown in workplace sketches in which their normal behaviour is simulated and made directly visible. The working height and, for instance, reach in the drawings can be immediately adjusted so that the right work posture is acquired. In these sessions we work with both employees and engineers so that a workplace can be checked in respect of its ergonomics before it is built. That makes a difference in terms of time and costs.
