HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / May 2, 2023 / Movella Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MVLA), digitizing movement through its full-stack offering of sensors, software, and analytics, is providing data that increases safety for workers in automotive manufacturing. Toyota Motors Europe is utilizing Movella's MVN Analyze™ data in its upper and lower-body ergonomic analysis tools to troubleshoot production line processes and vehicle design.
Toyota Motors Europe's JT/SJT system incorporates Xsens motion capture technology to monitor the physical health of its staff and maintain a safe, efficient workplace. The data captured by MVN Analyze™ provides an accurate understanding of workers' posture during the build cycle. It is then used for posture awareness training and to implement design changes on processes and vehicles.
"At Toyota , the health and safety of our employees is of the utmost importance," says Stuart Bassford , S&H Snr Spec at Toyota Motors Europe. "Movella has become an integral part of our ergonomic process improvement strategy, supporting our internal health & wellbeing approach of maintaining and improving the physical and mental health of our staff across the manufacturing divisions. We are excited to have them as a long-term partner, working with us to build an assessment tool that supports us in maintaining a safe, inclusive and efficient workplace."
Lower back problems account for 66.5% of physical disorders in the automotive industry, according to a 2022 report by the Journal of Surgery and Medicine . Toyota's car unit builds can be as fast as 66 seconds, and the implementation of Movella's motion capture technology helps support shop floor staff in maintaining lifelong health and wellbeing.
