FSMMD Ultra Smart Ergonomic. Efficient. Reliable.

The new standard for multi-shift operation: the FSMMD Ultra Smart from Spohn + Burkhardt. Intelligent, carefully considered solutions for people and industry. For more than 100 years, Spohn + Burkhardt has been developing and producing joysticks, control stations and resistors in the Swabian town of Blaubeuren, for use at ports, in construction machinery, cranes, on the railways and in industry. Now operating from five locations within Germany, and with its own subsidiaries in China, India and the Netherlands, Spohn + Burkhardt is currently the only company in the world to offer a complete system...

Countless smart details for a common goal – ergonomically healthy working. Control stations are where the demanding work of a crane is done – sometimes while seated, sometimes standing, and often by more than one person at the same workstation. The FSMMD Ultra Smart from Spohn + Burkhardt supports its users with intelligent solutions for personalised adjustment functions, for efficient working. Individual adjustment and memory options with memory function The individual adjustment and memory functions of the FSMMD Ultra Smart create the best prerequisites for: • Efficiency and time saving, thanks...

SUEZ crane operator | Paris Ergonomics, efficiency and reliability were the determinative criteria for SUEZ in Paris when deciding which crane control station to choose. With its numerous electrical adjustment options to allow individual operators to work both while seated and standing, the innovative FSMMD Ultra Smart control station from Spohn + Burkhardt impressed employees at the waste incineration facility in Argenteuil. We are delighted that SUEZ Paris chose us as a partner for the ergonomic and healthy configuration of workstations for its employees. That way you can meet the highest requirements...

Ergonomically healthy work in any position. Avoiding one-sided strain, especially when working in a primarily seated position, helps to prevent muscular fatigue and tension. The FSMMD Ultra Smart provides the opportunity for easy position changes and offers a range of smart adjustment options to support a healthy posture while working at a control station. Workplace analysis by TU Dresden At Spohn + Burkhardt, we work hard to constantly evolve our products and their technology, so that they are even more user-friendly, efficient and comfortable for our customers. To ensure thorough testing of...

Product optimisation and continued development are a key focus at Spohn + Burkhardt. In cooperation with TU Dresden we initiated an extensive study to test and analyse the ergonomic requirements of the FSMMD Ultra Smart in everyday working conditions. This included a comprehensive study of ergonomics, biomechanics and usability. The results were combined and documented with additional findings from strain tests and concrete user surveys. By using the outcoming results from the observations and user surveys, typical scenarios in every day work could be simulated in digital models. The objective...

Under the microscope: Highest demands on different groups of users The individual demands on different users with varying body sizes while working are extremely high. A state-ofthe-art, intelligently considered control station must satisfy a wide range of ergonomic preconditions for every individual to be able to ensure consistently healthy working. Region, gender Data source Germany, male Netherlands, male Maintaining the correct distance to important controls and the right ergonomics when it comes to seat, arm and backrest surfaces are essential to ergonomically healthy working in a control...

Clear findings from activity analyses for work carried out while seated and standing. The new FSMMD Ultra Smart from Spohn + Burkhardt meets the requirements of a state-of-the-art, ergonomically optimised control station. Carefully considered equipment features and state-of-the-art technologies that allow the operator to perform ergonomically healthy work while seated and standing impress a wide variety of different users in everyday work. Average working positions used: Seated, upright Seated, leaning forwards Seated, leaning backwards Result of the observations: The evaluation showed that only...

Ergonomics validation and simulation on the digital human model (DHM). An anthropometric investigation by testing different groups of users and an accompanying simulation using the digital human model (CharAT Ergonomics®) looked at the FSMMD Ultra Smart for its suitability and usability in everyday work. The following aspects were analysed and evaluated on the basis of occupational science findings relating to physiologically optimal, acceptable ranges of movement for individual parts of the body: Testing of operability and posture criteria: In four posture classes: •O verall body posture • ‘Seated,...

Biomechanics study Biomechanics analysis performed as part of the ergonomics study confirm the benefits of changing between a standing and seated working posture at regular intervals. Total working time (h) Investigation of upper body flection Investigation at shoulder joint moment Conclusive investigation results on working posture and ergonomics. Proportional working position: Seated, upright Seated, leaning forwards Seated, leaning backwards Operation while standing Scenario A Simulation of everyday work, seated only Scenario B Simulation of everyday work, with regular changes between seated...
