How EVEC compares to existing devices?

EVEC is easy to use and can be purchased at a very reasonable price. Any person involved in OSH - even without in-depth knowledge into vibration measurements - can efficiently setup and use EVEC to get reliable vibration exposure results.

EVEC is dedicated to whole-body vibration. EVEC is not a general purpose device that would allow other type of measurement such as hand-arm vibration exposure for example.

General-purpose equipments often require substantial learning, adjustment, configuration, as well as user's vibration data sorting and handling to get to exposure levels.

The option taken during the development of EVEC was to dedicate it to whole-body vibration measurement. This has allowed us to automate the whole process of whole-body vibration measurement and to make it reliable, simple and affordable. All the know-how of INRS (Research Center for Safety, France) has also been integrated into the EVEC whole-body vibration dosimeter, making it a perfect choice for people involved in OSH.

What is the automatic rejection of unwanted effects?

In every measure there may be unwanted effects or events occuring during the measurement that generate false acquired values, which in turn may affect or impact the computations and hence the final results. Basic data must then be sorted and only unaffected basic values kept for results computations.

This is the case for whole-body vibration measurements. For example, the driver creates shocks on the sensor when sitting or leaving its seat. Those shocks generates accelerations levels which have nothing to do with the driver's exposure to vibration. Basic measures taken during the short time period when the driver is sitting or leaving its seat must be discarded in order to get to a valid exposure value.

The EVEC detects those type of events and automatically sort measures accordingly and hence, computes and displays reliable exposure values.
