Ergonomic Design of Human-CNC Machine Interface

Ever since the industrial revolution opened the vistas of a new age, the process of industrialization has been at the core of the economic development of all countries. In a simple sense, industrialization means replacement of human labor by machinery to manufacture goods. In this way it induces a shift from home (craft) to factory based production. In a more rational sense, it is a process whereby the share of industry in general and manufacturing in particular, in total economic activities increases.
