Form : Ergonomic Industrial Sewing Workstation

The following report documents: the research findings, design process, development, and final results of a project to improve the ergonomics of an industrial sewing workstation. Form was developed to improve the working environment of industrial sewers who often over time, develop serious repetitive stress injuries in their fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, shoulders, necks, backs, and eyes. Form improves the ergonomics of the industrial sewing workstation to reduce the strain on the sewer’s body, and it provides a more comfortable environment for the sewers to work in, improving their overall quality of life both at, and away from, the workplace.
