Liebherr to Use RAMSIS for Crane Vehicle Design
 KAISERSLAUTERN,
Munich, Germany, Mar 25, 2009 - The Human Solutions GmbH has added another
major manufacturer of commercial vehicles to its customer list: The Liebherr
Werk Ehingen GmbH (Liebherr Works Ehingen, Ltd) will use the software
solution RAMSIS for the development of their on-road and off-road crane
vehicles. The mobile and caterpillar cranes manufactured by Liebherr Ehingen
enjoy an outstanding reputation on international markets. As the market
leader in this product segment, Liebherr supplies customers all over the
world. The Liebherr Werk Ehingen GmbH is a subsidiary of the Liebherr Group
of Companies, which was founded in 1949 by Hans Liebherr and is one of the
largest construction machinery manufacturers in the world today.
RAMSIS has established itself as the standard in vehicle development: More
than 70% of all car manufacturers worldwide use the RAMSIS CAD solution
(computer-supported, mathematical-anthropological system for vehicle occupant
simulation) in the design process of vehicle interiors. In the ergonomic design
process, the analysis of an extremely wide range of postures and movement
sequences is carried out with the aid of virtual human beings.
Liebherr uses the RAMSIS Industrial Vehicles sector solution, one which was
specially developed to meet the requirements of the construction machinery
industry.
“Our decision to opt for the ergonomics tool RAMSIS was above all influenced
by the fact that now we could have a tool which addressed optimal ergonomic
working conditions for crane drivers - as early as the design and construction
phase. On the one hand, the preliminary analyses contain more comfortable
seating and operating ergonomics - and on the other, improved visibility
conditions for the driver in his direct and indirect work environment. With
RAMSIS, our designers can avoid the time and cost-intensive modifications to
completed driver cabins and crane cabins”, said Graduate Eng. R. Keller and
Graduate Eng. (university of applied science) A. Glanzer, Driver Cabin and Crane
Cabin Development Division, Liebherr Werk Ehingen GmbH.
