Advances in Human Dynamics for the Development of Contemporary Societies Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2022), July 24–28, 2022, New York, USA

Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2023), July 20–24, 2023, San Francisco, USA

This book addresses the importance of human factors in the design of artifacts and systems that serves contemporary individual and societal needs. It reports on cutting-edge, multidisciplinary design research and practices fostering creativity, interaction and co-creation, sustainability, digital development, mobility, as well as science and education. Gathering contributions to the first edition of the AHFE 2021 Affiliated Conference on Human Dynamics for the Development of Contemporary Societies, held virtually on July 25-29, 2021, from USA, this book, which brings together experts with different design and human factors engineering as well as user interface and user experience backgrounds, offers a timely perspective on the role of human factors and design in the developments of modern society and is expected to foster new approaches and interdisciplinary collaboration.

This book provides readers with a timely snapshot of human factors research and methods fostering a better integration of technologies and humans during the whole manufacturing cycle, giving a special emphasis to the quality and safety of the industrial environment for workers, the efficiency of the manufacturing processes itself, the quality of the final product, and its distribution to and use by the customers. It discusses timely issues relating to the automation of the manufacturing processes, and the challenges imposed by the implementation of industry 4.0, additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies. Contributions cover a range of industrial sectors, such as the automotive, health and constructions ones, highlighting both organizational and engineering solutions fostering sustainability, globalization, customization, workers’ well-being and consumers’ satisfaction, among other issues. Based on the AHFE 2021 Conferences on Human Aspects of Advanced Manufacturing, Advanced Production Management and Process Control, and Additive Manufacturing, Modeling Systems and 3D Prototyping, held virtually on 25–29 July, 2021, from USA, this book, which merges ergonomic research and technical know-how in the field of manufacturing and product design, addresses a wide range of engineers, designers and professionals, dealing with the integration of technologies and humans in the factories of the future.
