HUMAN-CENTERED ENGINEERING

Occupant Packaging and Ergonomics Study Services

From OEM Interior Validation to Industrial Operator Optimisation. Seating and ergonomics study services for vehicle development and manufacturing lines in India.

Beyond Dimensions. Focusing on the Human.

A product can be dimensionally correct but ergonomically flawed. We validate design success by measuring human interaction, comfort, and safety before a single part is manufactured.

DIMENSIONALLY CORRECT

Clearances meet CAD specs.

The model passes spatial interference checks, but ignores the biomechanical realities of human joints in motion.

HUMAN-CENTERED

Calculated using kinematic models.

We simulate natural articulation envelopes, ensuring comfortable ingress, egress, and operational clearance.

DIMENSIONALLY CORRECT

Display is structurally visible.

The instrumentation is technically unblocked, but requires the operator to crane their neck, causing severe long-term strain.

HUMAN-CENTERED

Aligned with natural resting gaze.

Primary vision cones and sightlines are mapped to ensure critical information falls within the 15-degree comfort zone.

DIMENSIONALLY CORRECT

Controls are reachable.

Buttons and levers sit within arm's length, but actuation requires unnatural wrist torque and shoulder extension.

HUMAN-CENTERED

Placed in optimal comfort zones.

Frequent interactions are constrained to primary grip radii, minimizing fatigue and maximizing reaction speeds.

DIMENSIONALLY CORRECT

Seating fits 50th percentile.

The interior is perfectly tailored for the mathematically average person, ostracising anyone outside that rigid median.

HUMAN-CENTERED

Scalable packaging boundaries.

We design adjustable boundaries that accommodate the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male seamlessly.

Two Domains. One Human.

Whether packaging a driver inside a hypercar or positioning an operator at a heavy-duty CNC station, the foundational physics of human geometry remains the same.

STEP 01

Model Setup & Anthropometry

Importing 3D human models ranging from the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male into the CAD environment.

STEP 02

H-Point Alignment

Defining the exact hip-point (H-point) and seating reference point (SgRP) to establish the master seating package geometry.

STEP 03

Postural & Reach Study

Simulating limb movements and pedal engagement to verify that all critical controls reside within the primary reach zones.

STEP 04

Vision & Optics Analysis

Generating driver vision cones (eyellipses) to ensure gauge cluster visibility and completely eliminate critical exterior blind spots.

STEP 05

Spatial Clearance Checks

Validating head clearance, knee clearance, and ingress/egress envelopes against interior trim structures to prevent collision.

Connected Human System

A vehicle or workstation is not a collection of independent parts; it is a single ecosystem reacting to the human operator. We map every critical interaction node.

What is Occupant Packaging & Ergonomics Study Services?

Occupant Packaging and Ergonomics Study is a human-centered engineering analysis that places digital human models, ranging from the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male, into the CAD environment to validate seating position, H-point/SgRP placement, reach envelopes, and sightlines before a single part is manufactured.

When to Select This Service

Choose occupant packaging and ergonomics study when validating vehicle interior comfort and safety across the full user population, optimising operator posture and reach on manufacturing lines, or verifying that a product is not just dimensionally correct but ergonomically sound before tooling commitment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you perform 3D scanning on-site at our manufacturing plant?

Yes. Our engineers travel across India with portable HandySCAN 3D, optical CMMs, and laser trackers to scan parts, dies, tooling, and vehicle bodies directly on your shop floor without disassembly.

How do 3D scanning and reverse engineering differ?

3D scanning captures the raw physical surface geometry as a dense polygonal mesh (.STL). Reverse engineering takes that scan mesh and reconstructs a fully parametric, editable 3D CAD model (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, NX) with design intent and standard geometric features.

What is a color deviation inspection map?

A color deviation map is a 3D visual comparison of the scanned physical part overlaid against the nominal CAD model. Color gradients (green = in tolerance, red = excess material, blue = undersize) immediately highlight manufacturing warpage, shrinkage, or machining errors.

Can dark, shiny, or transparent surfaces be scanned?

Yes. Our blue laser and structured light scanners handle dark and metallic surfaces directly. For highly reflective chrome or clear glass, a temporary sublimating scan spray is applied that evaporates completely without residue.

What accuracy can we expect for automotive and aerospace components?

We achieve volumetric accuracy down to 0.020 mm to 0.040 mm depending on part size and sensor setup, fully verified against VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 metrology standards.
