Harnessing Technology: ADVICS' battle against injuries & accelerating job hazard analysis
ADVICS North America
Case Study
General information
ADVICS utilizes two Soter products to enhance injury prevention. SoterTask, a sensor-free video processing software, evaluates angles and risks through human motion analysis. SoterCoach, a wearable solution, provides real-time feedback to workers by identifying high-risk spine and shoulder movements. Together, they offer a comprehensive data-driven approach to hazard tracking and insights.
Despite a consistent decline in overall injury rates, ergonomic injuries remained a challenge for ADVICS. Their existing programs, such as athletic trainers, early reporting, and engineering standards, failed to address everyday behaviors. Soter technology's ability to monitor employees daily filled this crucial gap.
Manager, EHS and Risk Management at ADVICS North America
SoterCoach has been instrumental in scaling and personalizing safety measures for our employees, addressing everyday behaviors that often go unnoticed. By providing tailored feedback, it helps each team member develop safer habits, ultimately reducing injury risks
ADVICS plans to use SoterTask to conduct safety risk assessments more efficiently. The software's ability to complete a REBA assessment in just 5-10 minutes saves significant time and resources, ultimately supporting engineering changes based on actual ergonomic data, feedback, and improvements.
Manager, EHS and Risk Management at ADVICS North America
With SoterTask, we've been able to conduct ergonomic assessments in half the time it used to take. This efficiency has allowed us to quickly identify and address potential hazards, making a significant difference in our workplace safety efforts
ADVICS has seen a notable reduction in ergonomic injuries since implementing SoterCoach, with a 61% reduction in spine risks and an 41% reduction in shoulder risks. Both new and long-standing employees have provided positive feedback on the program.
While SoterCoach is not mandatory at ADVICS, its benefits are highly recommended. The long-term goal is to use both SoterTask and SoterCoach as case studies to support data-driven engineering changes. ADVICS aims to implement a rotating system for SoterCoach, ensuring that all employees wear the device once a year, facilitating continuous improvement and education.
