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 movement and workflows in companies in detail.
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.

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.
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.
