QBE North America is partnering with VelocityEHS to offer its Humantech Industrial Ergonomics software as a service.

This software delivers AI-based sensorless motion-capture technology to QBE customers, enabling them to recognize employee ergonomics issues in the workplace in real time.

With embedded artificial intelligence informed by decades of professional analytical ergonomics experience, the product available virtually or via onsite consultations. Once a report is generated, QBE’s Global Risk Services’ consulting team can provide tailored programs to help prevent worker injuries, the company said.

To use the technology, a video would be taken of an operator performing a job or task. That video would be uploaded to the Humantech Industrial Erconomics software. Computer vision and artificial intelligence recognizes body segments and records joint angles, frequencies, and durations of the postures during movement. Results come in minutes, and then the output displays a skeletal overlay on the original video and indicates the risk levels in colored lines.
