Meeting on Smart and Sustainable Workstations

During my secondment to the Montanuniversität in Leoben, research laboratories specialized on Smart and Sustainable Workstations were visited with focus on deepening understanding of current innovations in industrial ergonomics and digital workplace transformation. Key discussions were held with Univ.-Prof. Dr. Helmut Zsifkovits, Head of the Department of Industrial Logistics, and Priv.-Doz. Dr. Manuel Woschank, his deputy. The meeting focused on identifying opportunities for research cooperation, including potential joint projects and academic publishing initiatives.

Special attention was given to exploring how digital technologies can be modelled to empower workers, enhancing their safety and comfort through physical and cognitive ergonomics in line with the Industry 5.0 paradigm. This analysis sets a foundation for collaborative frameworks addressing human-centric digital transformation in industrial settings.
