Xsens motion capture data in Siemens PLM Software Jack

January 18, 2012 By AxoGen, Inc.

ENSCHEDE, The Netherlands – Xsens, the leader in
professional 3D tracking systems, today announced that it has joined the
Siemens Solution Partner Program to provide its motion capture solution for the
Jack™ software ergonomics package, a part of the Tecnomatix® software family of
digital manufacturing solutions.

Xsens, the world market leader in inertial motion tracking
technology, has partnered with Siemens PLM Software to enable the quick and
easy integration of its highly accurate human motion data capture solution with
the world-class Jack software package. Jack allows manufacturers to address the
ergonomic aspects of products and production processes in the early stages of
design and development, thus improving safety, efficiency and comfort.

Erik Wilbrink, VP Sales & Marketing manager at Xsens,
has high expectations of this partnership for the world of ergonomics. “The
unique capability of capturing real human motion data for use in simulated
environments, using Xsens MVN, can significantly improve the ease and accuracy
of ergonomics analysis and speed up design processes.”

Xsens MVN is a 3D human motion capture suit containing 17
motion trackers based on inertial sensing technology. The use of Xsens sensor
fusion algorithms and biomechanical models results in highly accurate 3D human
motion reproduction, including the kinematics of 23 body segments and 22
joints.

Importing this data into Jack enables realistic task
analysis of real humans carrying out real movements. Xsens MVN can be easily
transported in a compact suitcase. Its mobile nature ensures it can be used
anywhere: on an assembly line, on a factory floor, in tight spaces like a car
or an airplane, as well as in the great outdoors, without the need for
simulated environments or additional equipment.

“As the worlds number one supplier of digital manufacturing
software, we are always looking for partners like Xsens to deliver high quality
solutions to complement our Tecnomatix offering,” said Zvi Feuer, senior vice
president and general manager, Manufacturing Engineering Software Business
Segment, Siemens PLM Software. “The integration of Xsens MVN further expands
the motion capture options available to our customers. Solutions like these are
a key part of how we help companies make smarter decisions for better
products.”
