To create competitive products, it’s not enough that they are innovative and aesthetically appealing, but it’s essential that whoever uses these products can perceive them like the ones right for him, both in terms of a physical and a cognitive interaction: for this reason Umania wants to sensitize the companies to the Ergonomics’ problems and to provide a support in the ergonomic field.

In Umania there’s a team of Ergonomists, registered EUROPEAN ERGONOMIST (EUR-ERG) by the Centre for Registration European Ergonomists (CREE).
Thanks to their contribution Umania supports companies in making pleasant and effective the experience of use of provided products and services and in improving life and work environments through the optimization of the interaction and reorganization of productive processes.
In order to do this it offers a wide range of exclusive services, based on the analysis, evaluation and ergonomic design of:
Environments:
-    ergonomic analysis of environmental conditions (space and layout)
-    ergonomic evaluation and design of spaces and ways (way-finding)
Products:
-    ergonomic analysis and evaluation of products and prototypes
-    ergonomic design of the product and elements of product
-    corrective intervention for the planning and design of the product
-    anthropometric analysis
-    study of manuals for use
-    ergonomic evaluation of equipments and interfaces (displays, control boards, buttons, etc.)
-    definition of communication in support of the product to enhance its ergonomic aspects
Services:
-    ergonomic analysis and evaluation of the service
-    implementation and design of new services
Workstations:
-    evaluation of the activities and the organizational features of the work
-    analyses of the criticisms due to the continued activity and the effects on the health and wellness of the operators
-    design of workstations
-    corrective interventions for the reorganization and re-planning of production lines

Man is the starting point, his interaction with the environment and the objects of use become the stimuli of Umania’s research and development. Human being is fascinating and nowadays his complexity is measured only partially by ergonomics.
This is the reason why Umania invests much in the ergonomic research, as it thinks that only a deep knowledge of human being can bring to the development of useful and functional products and services.

Umania learns from man, it doesn’t invent anything.
