Results Advisor
The Results Advisor brings together the main findings obtained by Ergoniza Intelligent, ranks them by relevance, and helps locate the aspects that should be reviewed first. Its content automatically adapts to the active operating mode: Single posture, Multiple postures, or Lifting.
The advisor does not introduce an additional assessment method. It uses the results calculated by the available analyses and presents them together through summaries, assessments, and relevant results.
Access
To open the advisor, select ADVISOR in the results control group.
The dialog adapts to the mode selected at the top of Ergoniza Intelligent:
- Single-posture advisor: reviews the ergonomic results for the current posture.
- Multiple-posture advisor: examines the sequence and selects the time points with the highest-priority findings.
- Lifting advisor: reviews the overall result and the NIOSH results for the lifting tasks.
General procedure
The basic procedure is common to all three modes:
- Select the appropriate operating mode and prepare the posture, sequence, or lifting tasks.
- Open the dialog with ADVISOR.
- Select Analyze posture, Analyze sequence, or Analyze lifting tasks, depending on the active mode.
- Review the summary and the Overall assessment.
- Examine the relevant results, which are ordered so that those requiring the most attention appear first.
- In Single posture and Multiple postures modes, enable or disable the risk criteria and body regions you want to include.
After the first calculation, the analysis button changes to Update analysis. If the posture, sequence, loads, calculation options, or lifting tasks are changed, the advisor indicates that its results are out of date. Select Update analysis to obtain an assessment consistent with the current data.
When a valid analysis already exists, the advisor can restore it when the dialog is reopened. Filters only change the results displayed and their prioritization; they do not alter the posture, sequence, or original calculations performed by the assessment methods.
Common elements
Although the specific data differs between modes, the dialog retains a common organization:
- Analyze or update action: starts the analysis or runs it again after the data changes.
- Summary: displays several quantitative indicators appropriate to the active mode.
- Overall assessment: summarizes the result and directs the review toward the most relevant criteria.
- Relevant results: presents warnings and risks ordered by priority or relevance.
- Result level: visually distinguishes Warning-level situations from those that reach the Risk level.
- Main findings: identifies the values or circumstances that support each displayed result.
The help icons beside some labels display a brief explanation of the corresponding indicator. The help button in the title bar opens this page of the manual.
Interpretive caution: the advisor helps organize and review the results, but its prioritization does not replace a technical assessment of the activity as a whole or verification of the data and conditions used in the analysis.
