abstract
- Technological integration into pre-existent work environments has proven to be a challenge for many companies, taking particular focus to the manufacturing sector, where on occasions, the problem isn¿t the device or methodology in question, but how it is introduced to the staff and their process. Therefore, for this project it is crucial to understand the way employees commonly position themselves when changes in their workplaces are made, what they need and ways to make the addition of technology as non-intrusive as possible. These types of technologies are aimed to take into consideration the mental well-being of the personnel, and intend to avoid causing burnout, confusion or other types of issues during any given process. This work uses a video mapping tool into an assembly station that is part of a learning factory. This device is an assistance tool that helps guide the operator through the assembly steps in a friendly manner. An exploratory study is conducted with different tasks and operators to conduct an analysis of the response of the operators with the device. Results show that involving the operator in the programming and deployment of the tool can produce better results than a simple integration without consulting. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
