What is it about?

Virtual modelling was used develop the manikins with autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks at different carriage modes and stacking heights for the analysis in material handling.

Why is it important?

This article explains an ergonomic intervention based on safer stacking heights to reduce MSRs to an acceptable range. It improves productivity of handling the AAC blocks by reducing the cycle time. The intervention can be adapted for handling of similar materials in the construction industry.
