Redesign of pre-assembly workstations at Daimler Truck AG
The goal was to implement the centralized redesign of the pre-assembly workstations in axle production with a focus on the integration of employees with reduced mobility (ME) using a digital twin.
After recording the current situation on site, an initial digital layout was created using ema Work Designer software. Iterative improvements to the workplace design, material flow and ergonomics were developed through workshops and simulations.
The centralized workstations promote the integration of ME and improve ergonomics, production times and walking distances, which increases efficiency.

Virtual 3P workshops at AUDI
Use of the ema software to conduct virtual 3P workshops.
All workplaces were successively displayed and optimized. Virtual workshops depicted human work processes and enabled an automatic evaluation of time and ergonomic aspects.
This enabled optimal solutions to be identified quickly.
Digitalization can be experienced and leads to cost savings, increased flexibility, efficiency, attractiveness and sustainability.
