Abstract
The operator system consists of all elements of the user interface to the vehicle: seats, controls, and further components in the operator’s bodyspace. To ensure operator efficiency, well-being and health, all elements must be analyzed and developed on a system level. The product development process at Grammer AG has defined “perceived quality” as its guiding theme. Its foundation is deducting design requirements from understanding users and use cases for the respective product applications. The developed product range encompasses driver and passenger seats for trucks, agriculture and construction equipment, fork lift trucks, bus, rail, multifunctional armrests, and automotive seat components such as head restraints, armrests, center consoles and interior components. The Grammer AG Ergo-Innovationlab provides the scope of perceived quality testing, and performs innovation verification.
