Ergonomic excellence is a key part of product design and DCA have a team of designers with experience and training in developing ergonomic solutions for a diverse range of products. The ergonomic content of a project can be summarised as the interaction between the user and the product. It may involve the comfort and efficiency of a screwdriver in the hand, the height and angle at which an LCD display is set, the effect of colour and sound on a user, seating comfort or the force required to move a lever.

The age, size and weight of users who interact with most products vary considerably and this must be considered during development. Research of existing data is usually the starting point for most solutions; however rig building and user trials will invariably be the most important tools in the process. Whatever the product, DCA will recommend that simulation rigs be built to test ergonomic performance.
