This communication offers feedback on the integration of ergonomics in a design process for cobotic systems in an industrial environment. This feedback is based on eight projects carried out within the Safran group over a period of 18 months. First, we will recall the scientific framework on which the approach is based. We will then set the operational framework for our approach through the implementation in partnership with CEA LIST of an industrialization platform for cobotic systems called SIROCO (Simulation and Integration of Collaborative RObots). Finally, we will present our feedback on the various stages of design and integration of ergonomics via our interdisciplinary collaborations within the platform; but also on the impact of these cobotic systems on the current and future work activities of end users.

The development of a circular industrial production mode is in line to the today's trend, as it's to save and reuse raw materials in order to limit the risk of resource depletion. Initiated across the Atlantic, remanufacturing is part of circular activities as a means of extending the useful life of a product. Based on a request on ergonomics competencies, we undertook a process of understanding the activity, in particular the regulations implemented by the operators from the study of the expertise, dissassembly and reassembly phases of the bogie remanufacturing in railway company. Our results show the important part of the collective activity, degrees of expertise of part potential in the activity, which contribute to performance in the activity. It appaers that the remanufacturing activity is characterized by regulations, aimed to diverting the original fonction of the part and allowing it to preserve its added value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to identify the reality of ergonomics in Algeria. Initially the major phases of the industrial policy of Algeria are presented. This presentation serves to understand the socio-economic context in which enterprises operate. The second point sheds light on the current practice of ergonomics in the workplace. In the following paragraph, it is first to focus on certain difficulties encountered by enterprises, then show that ergonomics, especially ergonomics centered on the activity, can be a lever for performance of the Algerian enterprise. This communication also addresses the issue of training and research in ergonomics and tries to identify some actions that contribute to the development of ergonomics in general and ergonomics centered on the activity in particular.
