The main goal of this project is to conduct an integrated evaluation of Vergo's technology, the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), and other established ergonomic standards in a real-world workplace environment. This involves coordinating and executing the pilot project to assess the effectiveness of Vergo's technology in identifying high-risk postures and preventing musculoskeletal injuries, while also considering its performance in comparison to REBA and other relevant industry guidelines. The project aims to gather data, analyze results, and provide feedback on the platforms' performances, offering insights into their practical utility and impact on workplace safety. This comprehensive assessment will help determine the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and identify opportunities for improvement.

Project Planning:

Define clear project objectives, scope, and deliverables.

Develop a detailed project plan, including timelines and milestones.

Identify key stakeholders and establish communication channels.

Technology Deployment:

Coordinate the deployment of Vergo's technology in the workplace environment.

Ensure proper installation and calibration of the technology.

Train employees and users on how to use the technology effectively.

Data Collection:

Implement data collection protocols to capture information on postures, movements, and ergonomics-related parameters.

Collect data over a specified period, considering different work shifts and job tasks.

Comparative Analysis:

Analyze the data collected using Vergo's technology and compare it to results obtained from REBA and other ergonomics standards.

Assess the accuracy, efficiency, and effectiveness of each approach in identifying high-risk postures and preventing musculoskeletal injuries.

Feedback and Reporting:

Compile and analyze the results of the evaluation.

Prepare detailed reports summarizing findings, including strengths and weaknesses of each approach.

Provide recommendations for improvements and suggestions for optimizing ergonomics in the workplace.

Communication and Collaboration:

Maintain regular communication with project stakeholders, including Vergo's team, workplace employees, and management.

Collaborate with experts in ergonomics and workplace safety to ensure a comprehensive assessment.

Project Documentation:

Keep detailed records of all project activities, data collected, and analyses performed.

Document any challenges encountered and the solutions implemented.

Presentation and Dissemination:

Prepare presentations summarizing the project's findings and recommendations.

Share results and insights with key stakeholders through presentations, reports, and meetings.

Continuous Improvement:

Identify areas for further research and refinement of ergonomics solutions.

Explore opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of workplace safety measures.

To support students in completing the project, we will provide mentorship, training, access to resources, regular check-ins, collaboration opportunities, and connections to experts in ergonomics. We will also offer assistance with documentation, presentation coaching, problem-solving, feedback, networking, and adaptability to address any challenges that may arise during the project.
