INDUSTRIAL AI · AI FOR PHYSICAL WORK

Understand physical work.
Improve how it’s done.

Vergo uses computer vision to make physical demands and task patterns easier to understand. Explore practical changes and compare what happens after they're made.

A connected pattern across the task

In this simulated example, extended reaching occurs across multiple cycles and material retrieval takes a measurable share of task time. The team can investigate whether those patterns are connected.

TWO CONNECTED LENSES

Two perspectives. A clearer picture of the task.

Physical Demand describes observed movement frequency and duration. Work Efficiency shows how time is distributed across task steps. Both views help teams investigate how a task might be improved.

Physical Demand

Review recurring movements across task cycles, including how often they occur and how long they are observed in the selected footage.

This constructed example illustrates frequency and duration; it is not a risk rating or an analyzed customer recording.

Work Efficiency

Review confirmed task steps and the distribution of observed task time. Timing describes the work; it does not by itself establish waste.

Time spent retrieving materials is a measurement, not proof of inefficiency. Review the process before deciding what to change.

The value is in connecting the findings.

Vergo brings movement observations and task timing together within a task analysis. Review possible connections, test a practical change and reassess comparable work.

Assess. Improve. Reassess.

Understand the task, choose a practical change to test, and compare what changed.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Review the physical demands and steps involved in a task.

  2. 02

    Improve

    Work with the team to decide what change to test.

  3. 03

    Reassess

    Compare the task again under similar conditions.

What Vergo helps you do.

See the task clearly

Review a task as it is performed.

Review physical demands

Examine observed movement frequency and duration.

Explore task patterns

Review task steps, timing and repeating cycles.

Compare changes

Reassess a task and document observed differences.

FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

Safer tasks. Smarter processes.

Understanding physical demands and task timing helps teams make more informed decisions about equipment, layout and work methods. Clear records of the changes tested may also support safety programs and certain workplace incentive applications.

Eligibility varies by province or state. Using Vergo does not automatically qualify a business for an incentive or discount.

WHY IT MATTERS

How task design shapes safety and efficiency.

The way a task is designed influences both the physical demands on workers and how efficiently work gets done. Understanding those demands helps organizations identify practical improvements.
