Your opportunity with Atlas Copco

At Atlas Copco Industrial Technique, we provide intelligent industrial power tools and solutions ranging from handheld devices to automated systems. As customers, we have some of the largest manufacturers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, industrial assembly, and more.

During the collaboration, you will have access to our specialist in applied ergonomics in industrial assembly solutions and feedback from our customers and sales organizations to test and validate the business value and productivity of the answers.

Your solution might be an all-in-one solution, or it could address a tiny element of the focus area innovatively. We are interested in solutions that significantly increase quality (error reduction) and productivity and reduce work injuries and cognitive load in industrial settings.

The business potential for a given solution could reach 4000 units per year or similar volumes through subscriptions to Software as a Solution (SaaS).

Examples we're looking for

Smart wearables

Equipment that helps minimize physical stress and improves the ergonomics of assembly operators. Solutions that measure and monitor loads on the human body.

Cognitive ergonomics

How to measure, monitor, and manage cognitive load—solutions for operator training or task guidance based on cognitive load reduction.

Physical load

Workflow optimization solutions that help analyze and improve how assembly operators conduct their tasks at the assembly workstation and embedded sensors such as inertial measurement units (IMUs) in tools for measuring and reporting forces and positions.

Atlas Copco Group enables technology that transforms the future. They innovate to develop products, services, and solutions that are key to their customers’ success. Their four business areas offer compressed air and vacuum solutions, energy solutions, dewatering and industrial pumps, industrial power tools, and assembly and machine vision solutions.
