Do you want to know whether you are working ergonomically?
We will answer your question.
Whether it's a quick analysis using a smartphone or a cross-process sensor-based solution - as ergonomics experts, we have the right motion analysis tool for every requirement. These focus on improving ergonomics in work processes by analysing movements and workflows in companies in detail.
Real-time motion analysis
A real-time analysis that measures movements at work using the latest IoT-based sensor technology, calculates forces IN the body and derives customised recommendations for improved ergonomics.
Fast analysis with a smartphone or tablet using markerless 3D recording of joint points in real time.
Data on work movements and processes are recorded and then analysed. This data is crucial for optimising the health, well-being and efficiency of employees and thus also promoting the efficiency of the company.

The reach space template: efficiency and health in the workplace
An optimally designed reach zone minimises unnecessary movements and increases productivity by placing work materials within easy reach. Without well thought-out ergonomics, there is a risk of health problems and inefficient processes. To support this, Rocholz offers an innovative gripping space template.
It visualises the ideal arrangement of tools and materials and makes it easy to implement ergonomic principles simply and effectively. The reach space template is based on the DIN EN ISO 7250 standard and takes various zones into account: the one-hand zone, the two-hand zone and the extended one-hand zone. It provides clear guidelines for the positioning of work equipment within the central and peripheral field of vision as well as the optical field.
Use the gripping space template from Rocholz to show your employees the way to healthy and efficient work processes and at the same time sustainably increase their satisfaction and performance.

Why healthy ergonomics are needed in the workplace
Logistics, (goods) dispatch, packing workstations and much more pose major challenges to a healthy working day. Ergonomics in the workplace plays a central role here. Without an ergonomic workplace design, employees and employers can expect serious consequences.
Consequences of working without an ergonomic solution
If the workplace is not ergonomic, employees can suffer long-term damage to their health and psychological workload. The consequences can be much more far-reaching than "just" back pain. No employer wants to put their team through this.
But even as the head of a company, without healthy ergonomics in the workplace, you have to be prepared for increased absenteeism. Consistent measures must be taken here to ensure preventive occupational safety.
Ergonomics is much more than just posture
Ergonomics in the workplace also includes other factors than just a healthy posture, such as sitting upright. Other things need to be taken into account in order to provide a perfect working environment:
- No overloading
- No monotonous movement sequences
- Noise sources
- Light irradiation
- Air conditioning
- Use of aids
In order to provide you with an optimum overview of ergonomic working, the Rocholz team has produced a targeted brochure. It provides you with incentives and answers questions on how you can design and implement ergonomic principles and solutions for your workstations.

What does ergonomic mean?
The term ergonomics refers to the science of the laws of human labour. The term is made up of the Greek words ergon (labour, work) and nomos (law, rule). The central aim of ergonomics is to create suitable conditions for people to carry out their work and use technical equipment and tools, whereby the improvement of the interface between user (human) and object (machine) is of particular importance in addition to the human-centred design of the work system (more precisely the workspace).
Why create and use ergonomic workplaces?
Ergonomics in the workplace increases well-being. This increases motivation and performance. In addition, the sickness rate can be lowered and staff turnover reduced. All in all, this results in higher productivity.
What must an ergonomic packing table be able to do?
An ergonomic packing table such as the SYSTEM FLEX should be height-adjustable in order to adapt to the height and working style of each employee. This is the only way to reduce various complaints. To avoid unnecessary movements and stretching, such a packing table offers a well-organised work surface with easily accessible storage compartments, holders and tool storage. In addition, the packing table is designed to provide enough space for legs and is made of materials that ensure durability and a pleasant feel.

What characterises an ergonomic workplace design?
Technical solutions
Technical solutions are a key component of an ergonomic workplace, as they directly contribute to minimising strain and protecting the long-term health of employees. Modern workplaces rely on well-designed, customisable systems that make everyday work easier and more efficient.
The most important technical measures include:
- Height-adjustable packing tables They enable optimal adjustment to different body sizes and working positions.
- Ergonomically placed shelves and holders Tools and materials are always within easy reach, which avoids unnecessary movements.
- Smart assistance systems Digital tools assist with recurring tasks and ensure error-free processes.
Organisational measures
Organisational measures play a crucial role in permanently embedding ergonomic principles in everyday working life. They ensure structured processes, reduce monotonous strain and promote variety in activities. Good organisation helps to avoid peaks in strain and increases employee motivation.
The most important organisational measures include:
- Changing work processes Performing a variety of activities throughout the day prevents uneven strain.
- Regular breaks Short breaks promote regeneration and increase concentration.
- Clear working structures Well-thought-out work plans ensure clarity and efficiency.
Personal measures
Personal measures are an important component of ergonomic working and promote individual well-being in the workplace. Each and every individual can actively support their own health through conscious behaviour and targeted preventive measures.
These include, among others:
- Exercise and balance Regular stretching exercises or short bursts of movement during the working day loosen up the muscles and prevent tension.
- Ergonomic working Make sure you sit upright and change position frequently.
- Participation in training courses Offers such as back training or ergonomic training help to deepen knowledge and implement it in everyday life.
