"Do we use an ergonomic office chair the right way?" This question was the basis for the further development of the Axia Office Chair by BMA. "We are committed to continuously improving the experience of sitting. Who sits badly on a good office chair, still sits badly! The user must therefore be aware of his or her sitting position. Our smart technology helps the user to discover if his sitting position is good. You can only tell after measuring. " Scientific research by the Delft University of Technology has shown that feedback on sitting behaviour, leads to better sitting. This is also confirmed by studies among customers of BMA who use the Axia Smart Chair.
The smart Office Chair monitors the sitting behaviour of the user and gives feedback. Sensors in the seat cushions register the way users sit. If the sitting position can be improved, then the chair makes signals the user. The Axia Smart Cloud provides data over a longer period of time per chair. With the collected data advice can be given to the user. This system offers a world of possibilities, both to users as to facility managers.
The AXIA Smart Cloud is based on the Munisense INSIGHTNOW™ platform. This makes it very easy for BMA to measure data in a reliable way and to unlock it for the user almost in real time via a secure Internet connection. By choosing INSIGHTNOW™ the "time-to-market" is greatly shortened and the investment limited, while still a very high quality product can be provided by BMA for global distribution.
