ErgoImager Pro V4
We are now working on the Beta version of ErgoImager Pro after releasing the Alpha version earlier this year.
Features include:
- Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation
- Energy Expenditure
- OWAS
- Snook & Ciriello Tables
- Mital, Nicholson & Ayoub Tables
- RULA
- REBA
- Hand strength MAE (Maximum Acceptable Efforts) & AFF (Arm Force Field) methods.
The MAE method is designed for repetitive tasks that use frequency and/or duty cycle (DC) to predict maximum acceptable efforts (MAE) as a percentage relative to maximum voluntary efforts (MVE). The AFF method predicts manual arm strength (MAS) for a wide range of body orientations, hand locations and any force direction. This method uses an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the effects of hand location and force direction on MAS and includes a method to estimate the contribution of the arm's weight to the predicted strength.
- New Liberty MMH 2021
- Revised Strain Index (RSI), Composite Strain Index (COSI) & Cumulative Strain Index (CUSI)
- MQ 3D biomechanical model
- Interface to the 3DSSPP biomechanical model
- Import of a background digital image
- Ability to modify a mannequin's anthropometry (using various features from our HumanCAD® technology)
- Calculation and display of the mannequin's Center of Gravity
- Posture library with predefined and user defined postures
- Forward and /Inverse Kinematics movement
- Detailed anthropometry and BSIP data

VATS™ (Vibration Analysis ToolSet)
Our new VATS Version 4 software is a completely redesigned new software product. Some of the new features include:
- A new properties function has been added to set your default settings for the various tools.
- Customers can make multiple data selections in the raw data view. These selections can then be saved and users have the ability to load them again for further analysis.
- A new processing module for the revised ISO 2631-5 2018 standard has been added.
- Customers can now set an offset automatically.
- You can now select what data to be exported and in which formats [HTML, PDF, CSV and Plain Text (txt)].
- In the FFT panel, the FFT is now applied to the entire selected data.
- You can now change the time history window size (in seconds) for the selected algorithm (Whole Body: ISO2631-1, ACGIH and BS 6841; and Hand-Arm: ISO 5349, ACGIH).
 VATS is available for either hand-arm or whole body analysis. Hand-arm vibration analysis is based on the ISO 5349 and ACGIH standard for hand arm vibration (HAV). Whole body vibration analysis is based on the ISO 2631-1, 2631-5 (2004 and 2018), BS 6841, and ACGIH standard for whole body vibration (WBV).
Existing VATS customers can contact us to try the new version and to request upgrade pricing. There is also a no charge update available to all customers using VATS V4 pertaining to ISO 2631-5 (2018).
VATS software can be purchased as a stand-alone software product to import acceleration data to be analyzed from other systems or part of a complete solution with a multi-channel data logger, accessories and mounting accessories.
There is a no charge update available to all customers using VATS V4 pertaining to ISO 2631-5 (2018).
