How do the digital determination of motion data, AI and the application of the MTM method standard interact to sustainably improve work processes and conditions? At the MTM SUMMIT 2024 and here in an interview, Dr. Sascha Feldhorst, CEO MotionMiners GmbH, and Prof. Dr. Peter Kuhlang, CEO MTM ASSOCIATION e. V., describe smart paths from (subjective) gut feeling to data-based (objective) facts using the example of a parcel delivery service project.

Prof. Dr. Peter Kuhlang, CEO MTM ASSOCIATION e. V., and Tony Campbell, President MTM Productivity Services Corporation USA and Canada, will share their expert knowledge on ergonomic work design at the Applied Ergonomics Conference from March 25 to 28 in Louisville, Kentucky.
Planning manual work processes requires specialist knowledge, experience and a lot of time – a major hurdle for many companies. The HAawAI research project aims to enable manufacturing companies to analyze workstations and process steps (partially) automatically and thus make work planning even more efficient.
With TiCon for Windows and the EAWS® (Ergonomic Assessment Worksheet) module, ergonomics experts from SMA Solar Technology AG and software experts from the Digital Solutions division of Deutsche MTM-Gesellschaft mbH have developed a standard solution to facilitate human resource planning.
Digital technologies not only facilitate the design of new work systems. Sensor-based technologies such as motion mining can also be used to examine existing work processes in order to identify weak points and minimize ergonomic stress. The MTM ASSOCIATION e. V. is working with MotionMiners GmbH on a preliminary study in the field of parcel delivery.
At the MTM SUMMIT 2023, the meeting of the MTM community on October 18 and 19 in Hamburg and online, Michael Wiesinger, Vice President of Commercialization, Kodiak Robotics, Mountain View, USA, will present the latest developments in autonomous driving. Artificial intelligence plays a key role here. We spoke with Michael Wiesinger in advance about his passion for future technologies.
TiCon for Windows recently received an update. The established time management software for the MTM application on the Microsoft platform enables the integration of numerous modules such as Ticon Base, TiCon Takt, TiCon EAWS®, TiCon HWD®, TiCon Planungscockpit, TiCon Prokon, TiCon Time Study as well as TiCon Prozessdesign. With the update to version 4.08, the software solution comes with various innovations. They mainly concern the line balancing.
