Towards Efficient Ergonomic Optimization in Industry 5.0: The Role of REBA, Motion Capture, and Decision Support Models

Industry 5.0 introduces human-centered approaches to manufacturing, optimizing production systems while ensuring worker well-being. This paper explores the integration of ergonomics, particularly the REBA method, to assess musculoskeletal risks, with motion capture technology that improves the precision of these assessments. The combination of REBA and motion capture enables more accurate identification of ergonomic issues, promoting better decision-making for production optimization. By applying this integrated approach, we aim to improve worker safety and productivity while optimizing workflows. The contribution of this paper is a comprehensive literature review and the identification of gaps in integrating the REBA method with motion capture technology in the context of Industry 5.0.
