Vibration Monitoring for Military Vehicle Crews
VIB@WORK – Whole Body Vibration Sensors
Application
The French Army Technical Section, represented by Jean-Claude Fialaire, an Ergonomist, has integrated Micromega-Dynamics products to ensure safety compliance for military vehicle crews.
The primary product used is the VIB@WORK – Whole Body Vibration sensor, which is essential for measuring vibration levels in various terrains, including roads, tracks, and off-road conditions.
“Very easy to use, especially with the mobile application. There are some occasional issues with PC software that require COM port reconfigurations. Long data retrievals with the mobile app sometimes generate error messages that need to be ignored multiple times to complete the process. Zoom commands in the data viewer are cumbersome; I’d prefer to zoom in on a selected area with the mouse. Sensor autonomy is perfect, though the case is a bit fragile. Calibration pricing is fair, and the calibration service is excellent.”
