Space requirements

Ramsis products help optimize the space requirements within the driver’s cab of industrial vehicles by ensuring ergonomic design and efficient layout. This includes tailored solutions for seat positioning, dashboard placement, and storage areas, allowing drivers to comfortably perform various tasks while minimizing space constraints. Ramsis tools and simulations ensure that the cab environment is designed for maximum functionality and accessibility, enhancing both productivity and comfort.

A clear view

Optimizing the H-point or eyepoint within industrial vehicle cabs ensures a clear view for the driver. This strategic positioning enhances visibility, allowing the operator to easily identify visual obstacles around the vehicle. By adjusting the driver’s seat and viewing angles, blind spots are minimized, contributing to improved safety and operational efficiency.

Effort

Estimating the actuating forces for operating elements in industrial vehicles ensures that controls are designed for ease of use and optimal comfort. By accurately calculating the required force for each control (such as steering, pedals, and switches), the design minimizes operator strain and fatigue, promoting smoother vehicle operation and better overall ergonomics.

Reachability

Optimal placement of controls, such as joysticks, in industrial vehicles ensures easy reachability for the operator. Proper positioning reduces physical strain and improves comfort, allowing the driver to access essential controls quickly and efficiently. This thoughtful placement enhances both operational performance and overall ergonomics within the vehicle.

Climbing up into and entering the vehicle

Ensuring proper accessibility and space for climbing into and entering an industrial vehicle is crucial for operator safety and comfort. The design focuses on providing adequate step height, handholds, and sufficient space to facilitate easy ingress and egress. This helps reduce the risk of injury and improves the overall efficiency of entering and exiting the vehicle, particularly in demanding work environments.

Perception

Ensuring the visibility and readability of information in industrial vehicles is essential for safe and efficient operation. Clear display positioning, appropriate lighting, and legible fonts enhance the driver’s ability to quickly perceive critical data such as speed, fuel levels, and warnings. This design consideration reduces operator distraction and improves decision-making, even in challenging work conditions.

Visual standards

Complying with vehicle-specific visual standards in the CAD model ensures that the design meets regulatory and safety requirements. It involves adhering to visibility guidelines for controls, displays, and indicators, ensuring they are easily readable and accessible for operators. This alignment with standards guarantees that the vehicle’s interface is both functional and compliant with industry norms, enhancing usability and safety.

Seat

The optimum seat adjustment range for industrial vehicles is designed to accommodate a wide range of international driver populations. This includes adjustable seat height, depth, backrest angle, and lumbar support, ensuring comfort and ergonomic support for drivers of varying sizes and postures. Such adjustments enhance driver safety, reduce fatigue, and improve overall vehicle operation across diverse user groups.
