Abstract

This work presents the development of a Flexible Labeling Device for Bicycles, using the "Water Slide" technique to apply graphics onto aluminum frames. The main objective is to optimize the manual labeling processes, providing greater standardization, time reduction, ergonomic improvement, and increased final product quality. The research is justified by the limitations of previously used methods in the process and by the difficulty of full automation in medium-sized production environments. The theoretical framework covers concepts of industrial ergonomics, such as the Golden Zone and Strike Zone, and presents technical standards related to safety and occupational health. The device design involved 3D modeling using Solidworks, ergonomic analysis, and process time measurement using Kinovea software, as well as the implementation of Poka-yoke principles. The results obtained indicate a significant improvement in process efficiency, greater comfort and safety for the operator, and better uniformity in the application of the decals, directly contributing to increased competitiveness and quality on the production line.
