HCI and worker well-being in manufacturing industry

Abstract

Operators’ well-being is a key factor for the success of industrial production processes. Even though research has studied the well-being aspects of the industry, such as support and improvement of ergonomics, there is still a long way to go to achieve a sustainable and healthy work context for manufacturing industry. We believe the Human-Computer Interaction community can contribute by developing research on worker well-being in real-life settings. This workshop intends to offer a venue for HCI researchers that focus on worker well-being for the manufacturing industry and other industry domains.
