Salland Electronics brings DevLab technology onto the market

BMA Ergonomics and SallandElectronics received the first large order of 450 Smartchairs from Municipality Amstelveen. In January of this year the Smart Chair is introduced at the facility fair Den Bosch and will be available from May. The Smartchair is the first office chair in the world with integrated electronics to assist the user for using the chair in an ergonomically way. Sensors in the seat cushion register the sitting behavior and keep record of the data. The user becomes feedback visually from a label, a vibrating signal or via a wireless interface.
Important for this project was DevLab’s research project ALwEN, which lead to the development of the Smartchair. This underlines the mission statement of DevLab; "Increasing international business by joined research by closing the gap between scientifically research and high-tech SME companies".
