Industrial Environments

This study evaluates user acceptance of a gamification-enabled collaboration and knowledge sharing platform that has been developed for use by personnel in industrial work environments, aiming at increasing motivation for knowledge exchange. The platform has been evaluated at two manufacturing industries by two groups of users, workers and supervisors, with regard to five criteria: usability, knowledge integration, working experience, user acceptance and overall impact. Results showed that even though the ratings from both industries were positive on all criteria, there is room for improvement on user acceptance and knowledge integration. Driven by this fact, a rule-based adaptive gamification approach which exploits information about workers is proposed in order to further increase motivation and engagement. Based on feedback received from the evaluation, guidelines related to functionalities and design of a gamified collaboration platform are provided. These guidelines can be followed when implementing collaboration tools with gamification support for industrial environments.

Physiological Indices

Industrial work environments, such as warehouses, stockrooms, supermarket checkouts, and assembly lines, often require workers to stand for long periods of time within a small area without the capability for much movement. This study summarizes the different indices used to evaluate standing work and also evaluates the various standing aids, available at the present time, to reduce the standing stress. The subjective indices of standing are discomfort/pain in the torso and, especially, the legs and feet. Physiological indices are heart rate, skin temperature of the leg, and volume changes of the leg. Standing stress can be reduced by: (1) softer floors (i.e., mats), (2) better shoes, (3) foot rests, (4) walking, and (5) sit/stand chairs.
