About this solution

Productive × idle time statistics for workstations based on manual activity (hands and arms relative to the body). The system does not identify people by name: it measures the activity pattern at the workstation to support line balancing, team sizing and continuous improvement.

  1. 1The pose model follows each worker's joints and the tracker keeps each person's identity.
  2. 2Movement is measured at the hands relative to the person's own torso, with smoothed points and a dead zone. Body sway, shifting weight, walking, camera shake and small tics do not count as work.
  3. 3Counted as productive: handling something for at least 2 s with hands away from the body and in front of/above the hips, or keeping an arm extended over a part/tool while making adjustments.
  4. 4Hands hanging down, near the face (radio, phone) or resting on the body, as well as conversational gestures, count as a pause.
  5. 5Short pauses between work cycles count as productive; with no manual activity for the configured time, the whole period becomes idle time.
  6. 6Reports by workstation, shift and period reveal bottlenecks and opportunities.

Benefits

  • Continuous time studies, with no timekeeper and no observer effect.
  • Objective data for team and shift sizing.
  • Identification of bottlenecks and waiting time for materials.
