A motion capture system for the study of human manufacturing repetitive motions

This manuscript presents a method for motion capture–based manufacturing time and motion studies. The proposed human motion analytics system uses motion capture technology to collect, transform, store, and analyze data from repetitive physical motions performed by manufacturing workers. The system supports the isolation of basic simple motions for analysis using statistical process control and data analytics techniques. The proposed method has resulted in the ability to identify patterns of repetitive motions and statistically significant deviations from those patterns.
