Abstract

Industry 4.0 is decisive in implementing great value technology that can correctly determine incorrect positions in industrial processes workers that frequently require specialized attention. In the present investigation, we developed an application for mobile devices that identifies possible future accidents when determining incorrect actions from a set of steps to assemble a harness. This proposal is an intelligent system that can monitor inadequate and inaccurate movement and specify a better form of preventive action through a preliminary analysis of the person’s ergonomic activities performing the tasks. It uses virtualization of the environment to work through depth cameras (Kinect Azure) and is represented in a Unity environment by an avatar that simulates people’s movements.
