VelocityEHS, the leader in cloud-based environmental, health, safety (EHS) and sustainability software, announced it has acquired Kinetica Labs, a pioneer in the development of sensing and simulation technology for occupational safety and health. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, Kinetica’s computer vision technology automates the subjective, manual process used in observation-based musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk assessments in the workplace.
VelocityEHS previously engaged in an exclusive partnership with Kinetica Labs to incorporate video-based, sensorless motion-capture technology into its award-winning industrial ergonomics software. With this acquisition, VelocityEHS further advances its industry leadership in innovative machine learning, AI and mobile technology.
As part of its innovative VelocityEHS Accelerate Platform, the company’s advanced Industrial Ergonomics software is the most widely, actively deployed and highly valued application of Machine Learning technology in the industry, used by more than 200 leading manufacturers in the automotive, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and aerospace industries.

It is an all-in-one solution that combines online training, smart assessment tools and powerful program management features to seamlessly deploy, monitor, and manage the industrial ergonomics process across one, hundreds or even thousands of locations. The system’s sensorless motion-capture technology allows users to perform real-time risk assessments with video taken on any mobile device, collecting data faster and more accurately than any other method.
Few system enhancements to VelocityEHS Industrial Ergonomics, including:
- Location-based privacy options and settings, including the ability to blur video and/or block the operator to keep employee identity and sensitive IP material out of the video assessment.
- Greater support for seated jobs and the ability to remove leg data to assess the upper body only to promote accessibility and unique environments.
- User interface (UI) and usability upgrades to the entire workflow process, plus updated data collection guidance for the most accurate motion-capture technology assessments.
Backed by the largest team of board-certified ergonomists in North America, VelocityEHS Ergonomics Software helps users implement sustainable ergonomics programs in both office and industrial settings that deliver tangible results with leading-edge technology.
