The aim is to deliver operator safety and well-being within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, by influencing the vehicle design and manufacturing processes from initial design concept through to real world full-scale production. Recent new model programmes include the Ford Focus and its battery electrical variants, and the Ford Transit Plug in Hybrid Electrical Vehicle. Bringing these programmes to manufacture has required ergonomic input into the design of modern hardware and software systems, including but not limited to, collaborative robots, exoskeletons and hand held devices.
