ErgoLab is the Product Design Studio at Ergostyle. There are always a number of projects in progress at any one time. We welcome the opportunity to design and fabricate any industrial design project.

The ergonomics design approach adopted by Ergostyle has a clear focus on health and safety issues and end user satisfaction. We have a strong belief in incorporating end user input during the development cycle and the use of 3 D mock ups to evaluate human interface issues.

Development cycle

System study
1. System requirements established. Alternatives reviewed, specifications of performance    and purpose
2. Detailed study of proposed design. Research to solve unknowns or decide between alternatives.

Research phase
3. Develop model to test and proved engineering layouts etc.

Development phase
4. Evaluation of development model. Modifications decided and proved. General redesign where necessary.

Production
5. Production of prototype.

Operation
6. Installation, training, use. Maintenance. Possible improvements revealed. Post delivery modifications.

Expert Design Projects

CCTV Controlroom Human Performance is the essential element in any control room  operations. While the technology is fascinating, too often this consumes our attention and the budget of the project leaving little consideration for the operators and workstations. Our challenge is to remind the Facilities Managers of the vital role of the people and need to support their capacity to function in demanding situations.

The outcome converted an ad hoc collection of screens, input tools and comms devices into an organised sequential display array and control system. The whole worksurface is electric height adjustable giving true Sit to Stand capability to cater to the range of operators and their postural well being.

FutureProof- multi purpose activity workstation.

Designed specifically for an 11 year old boy, this project meets the current and future needs of a bright young lad.

The main surface is an electric height adjustable table which provides the benefit of quick and easy height adjustment to suit his various chairs (power, manual, commode) plus any chair upgrades as he grows.

The primary visual tasks are an LCD computer screen and Book Holder/ Painting easel. Both are attached to gaslift adjusting monitor arms for easy movement up & down, left & right, forward & back. this allows for easy positioning in the ideal location and encourages independence.
