Packer Engineering: Engineers with Answers

Human / Machine Interaction

Packer Engineers and scientists realize that there are three critical dimensions involved in the safe and efficient design and use of products and machinery: the particular piece of equipment or system involved, the environment in which the activity occurs, and the operators, themselves.  All of these dimensions interact together to produce the total product employment or accident environment. While many of Packer Engineering’s experts concentrate on the machine-related facets of the problem, others focus their attention on either the human or environmental aspects or on the interaction between all three dimensions. 

Human performance evaluations and assessments involve such diverse areas as:

• Vision And Visibility
• Reaction And Response Time Under Various Conditions
• Operator Performance Characteristics For Machinery And Systems
• Slip, Trip, And Falls
• Equipment Accessibility
• Reach Envelopes
• Anthropometric Considerations
• Application Of Cognitive Capabilities And Performance

 

Aerospace

Packer Aerospace provides analysis of human performance within an aircraft. Often these issues arise when evaluating safety issues, human factors issues, design analysis, ergonomics, and occupant/pilot safety and performance in accidents. Our Aerospace team often works in conjunction with our Human Factors department to investigate the role of human performance in aviation.
