Mechatronics and OSH

Abstract

Today one of the research areas where digital technologies are used and integrated most intensively is mechatronics engineering. Mechatronics engineering which is known as a combination of computer electronics and mechanical engineering provides flexibility quality and safety in production with a holistic and process-based perspective it brings to industrial production processes. The field of occupational health and safety is also responsible for the safety and health of employees in the workplace while trying to ensure safety and sustainability in production with its proactive understanding. It is seen that these two research areas meet at many common points. The quality and controllability of production provided by mechatronics engineering also contribute to the improvement of occupational safety conditions in workplaces. In the study mechatronics engineering and its contributions the evaluation of occupational health and safety in terms of engineering the intersection of mechatronics and occupational health and safety and exemplary operation are presented. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
