TuMeke Ergonomics Releases eBook, AI-Driven Ergonomics: The Future of Workplace Safety, to Commemorate National Ergonomics Month
Guide aims to educate safety professionals about myriad ergonomics issues
San Francisco - October 9, 2024 - TuMeke, a pioneer in using AI and computer vision for ergonomic assessments that reduce workplace injuries, today announced that it has released AI-Driven Ergonomics: The Future of Workplace Safety, a resource for safety professionals. The release comes in conjunction with National Ergonomics Month, a Human Factors and Ergonomics Society initiative that aims to "promote the science, application and profession of" human factors and ergonomics.
One of the most common and costly workplace injuries, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect millions of workers annually, and according to OSHA, account for nearly 40% of all non-fatal injuries. The Ergonomics Center at NC State University says that "the direct costs of MSDs are $20 billion a year."
When left unaddressed, ergonomic injuries can lead to a multitude of problems, including chronic pain; increased absenteeism and turnover; decreased productivity; and rising costs.
The eBook focuses on a variety of ergonomics-related subject matter, including a foundational understanding of workplace ergonomics and the challenges that exist today.
Riley Noland, TuMeke co-founder said that the resource is a "must-read for safety professionals considering new ways to reduce workplace injuries. They'll learn from real-world examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of AI-driven ergonomic programs."
"We believe that it's critical for safety professionals to understand the challenges and impact of workplace ergonomics risks. The goal of issuing AI-Driven Ergonomics: The Future of Workplace Safety is to provide them the insights they need to evaluate their own workplace ergonomic risk factors and take the appropriate steps to protect their workforce," Noland added.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
