The reprocessing of medical devices is an essential process to keep a hospital functional. It is carried out in the Central Sterilization Supply Department (CSSD). Failures during reprocessing can endanger patients' safety and increase costs. The benefits of an assistance system helping workers in preventing failures are therefore obvious, whereas challenging requirements arise through process complexity, legislation, integration and hygiene restrictions. We propose an assistance system that supports the worker in the unclean area of a CSSD under these requirements. It provides a user interface for context-aware guidance and collection of process relevant data from the worker. 'Virtual touches' fulfill the hygiene requirements and are realized with a depth camera and a projected user interface. Business process models control the workflow and maintain a valid database for quality assurance and worker guidance. We evaluated the system with a user study focusing on failure prevention, task completion time and usability.

“…Hayakawa et al developed the work support system which support the assembly task with a robot arm [1] [2]. Arai et al developed the attentive workbench witch support the worker with the self-moving trays in the cellular manufacturing system which works in desk-top [3][4] [5]. Research focusing on production sites includes the investigation of the human symbiotic assist arm "PAS-Arm" by Higuchi et al [6] and the installation of work-support equipment, referred to as "Skill-Assist", on the automotive assembly line by Yamada et al [7].…”

We have been developing a novel humanfriendly/cooperative work support robot. This system named PaDY (in-time Parts/tools Delivery to You robot) supports worker by delivering parts and tools to worker based on statistical analysis of the work in an automobile assembly line to reduce the worker's physical workload and improve work efficiency. In this paper, the collision avoidance method based on the statistical analysis of the work and the quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness in this system are proposed.
