About

Human factors and ergonomics , also known as comfort design, functional design, and user-friendly systems, is the practice of designing products, systems or processes to take proper account of the interaction between them and the people that use them.

Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries and other musculoskeletal disorders, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.

Human factors and ergonomics is concerned with the “fit” between the user, equipment and their environments.

Physical ergonomic principles have been widely used in the design of both consumer and industrial products

The study of human factors and ergonomics leads to the design and production of equipment that is healthier for the human body and the human mind.

In the digital age, when more and more people are spending many hours sitting still (while using electronic toys of all types), the value of human factors and ergonomics is higher than it’s ever been before. Without ergonomically correct devices and furniture, men, women and children will be more likely to suffer from mental strain, back problems, poor circulation and/or sore muscles.

As a result of studies and research Agilis Computer Monitor arms have been developed in South Africa for use by all computer uses. It is now possible to put up to 4 monitors together for one user to operate.
