Creating the interfaces of the future for waste sorting lines

Need

Supporting Veolia Environnement in digitising its waste sorting lines

In its R&D programme, Veolia Environnement is working on the digital transformation of the waste sorting business by designing software that enables waste to be sorted remotely via a touch-sensitive interface.

Given the stakes involved digital transformation and the impact of dematerialisation on users' current activity, Veolia Environnement wanted ergonomic assistance to help it choose the touch screen technology best suited to its use and the constraints of its activity, and to design the HMI.

Intervention

Human Design Group has taken charge of this process of digital transformation the following studies:

  • Study of the choice of tactile technology based on a state of the art of tactile interaction technologies, a comparative evaluation of tactile interaction vs. other pointing devices (e.g. mouse), the selection of the technology best suited to use in the light of objective criteria and ergonomic recommendations on the technical device and the workstation environment; ;
  • Ergonomic evaluation study of the proposed HMI for remote waste sorting software.

Results

  • A technology watch report on tactile interaction technologies, structured according to the requirements for using these technologies;
  • Choice and justification of the tactile technology to be selected and recommendations on the future work environment;
  • An ergonomic expert report on the GUIs of the remote waste sorting software, presenting the points for optimising and capitalising on the current software solution and the recommendations to be taken into account by the designers to improve the ease of use of the application;
  • A final consideration of ergonomic and human factors issues and requirements in the design process. digital transformation sorting activity.
