Human machine operators are often subject to extreme shocks and vibrations while operating production machines and vehicles. To assess the impact on perceived comfort objectively, a wireless vibration monitoring system is needed that measures whole-body vibrations directly on the human body. To this end, we have developed a wireless body area network consisting of low-power vibration sensor nodes that have a small and ergonomic form factor and that are easy to install. Furthermore, we have validated the BAN along with the necessary post-processing of the raw vibration signals on a real industrial case, i.e. the driver of a forklift. Our system proves to be instrumental in optimizing critical tuning parameters of a machine, exemplified by the transmission control parameters of a forklift.
