SOSTEOLOGICA

Sustainable and Inclusive Work Environments for the Logistics of the Fashion and Lifestyle Sector
PROJECT LEAD

Valerio Cibrario

CONCEPT

The SOSTEOLOGICA project aims to develop a pilot system for Human Digital Twins (HDT) using a Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach.
It focuses on real-time data collection of workers’ actions, ergonomic risk assessment, and workstation optimization.
The project includes the integration of Digital Human Modelling (DHM) software and the flexible use of collaborative robots to create adaptive, safe, and efficient work environments.
Its ultimate goal is to enhance safety, well-being, productivity, and inclusiveness in logistics workstations within the Made in Italy fashion and lifestyle supply chain.

CONTEXT

Human-Centered Design (HCD) is increasingly important in manufacturing, as it improves process efficiency and adaptability while placing worker well-being and safety at the center.
This fosters a more holistic, sustainable, resilient, and inclusive manufacturing ecosystem.
The rapid evolution of technology has led to a new era of human-robot collaboration, reinforcing the relevance of HCD.
Human Digital Twins (HDT) enable the development of human-focused production environments using real-time motion tracking and Digital Human Modelling (DHM) tools.

Beneficiari

OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED RESULTS

  • Create a digital twin of current workstations (As-Is) using motion capture technologies (e.g., Xsens) to simulate work scenarios
  • Implement Human Digital Twins (e.g., IPS IMMA) to evaluate and optimize working conditions
  • Assess ergonomic risks in current setups to identify areas of improvement
  • Integrate versatile collaborative robots to enhance flexibility, reduce physical strain, and improve workstation safety
  • Simplify motion capture systems while maintaining high data quality for industrial use
  • Improve sustainability by reducing the consumption of auxiliary materials (e.g., plastics)
