The Smart Chair has two sensors in the back rest and four sen-sors in the seat. The sensors will register your sitting behaviour and record how often and how long you make contact with the back rest and whether you are moving enough or sitting in one position for too long.

The smart chair will train you to correct your posture. A vibrat-ing signal in the seat indicates when you have been sitting with a bad posture for too long. Using a colour coded system on the label that is attached to the seat you can review your sitting behaviour within the last hour and you can identify your overall seating score.

Using special Smart Chair software the recorded data can be downloaded and viewed for each chair.

The data can be downloaded individually from each chair with the help of a radio frequency dongle. Alternatively, a Cloud system will constantly download and store all of the sitting information from multiple chairs. The Smart Insight software or the Dashboard application make it easy to understand and analyse the data.

Axia Smart Insight/ Dashboard can give information on:

• Periods of use• Occupation• Chair set up• Ergonomic information, postures• Overall sitting score• By the hour, day, week, month

How does it work? What to do with all the sitting data?

The smart chair recognises 7 postures.

The following postures are common reasons why we experience muscle tenseness, neck, shoulder or back pain.

slouching

too much to the left

poor upper back contact

on the edge of the chair

too much to the right

“Where you sit wrong...”

The information gained can be used by Occupational Health Managers or Facility Service Managers:

• Individual sitting recommendation can be given.• Data analysis can trigger workstation assesments and

improvements.• Occupation and configuration plans can be created.• Improved workspace management.

The Axia is crafted to ensure that you sit and move correctly. It will support you in the right areas to keep you well balanced in every workstation discipline. Axia support helps to keeps the muscles relaxed, stimulate your circulation and oxygen movement to keep the mind fresh and energy levels up.

Axia® keeps you balanced The smart seating system

• Reading (leaning forwards)

• Talking to colleagues or on the phone (leaning back)

• Typing (upright, relaxed)

Catering for the 3 workplace sitting disciplines

The patented movement mechanism makes it easy to change between working postures.

The Axia supports the pelvis to prevent it from rotating. A well supported pelvis will help the back to support itself and the spine will stay in a natural position.The arm rests do not move to ensure optimal support of the arms to keep shoulder and neck relaxed. Through a patented split seat mechanism, only the rear tilts back whereas the foremost part of the seat will always stays horizontal. This will alleviate pressure on the legs, keeping the feet firmly on the floor.

Smart Technology

Through the Smart Chair you will make the most of your Axia! The Smart Chair like a personal trainer will help you to achieve a better posture and get you healthy and fit through your working day.

Modular System

The Axia system is completely modular which makes is not only easy to change and replace parts but also means that the Chair can be customised to meet different requirements. One chair for all.

Due to the modularity it is easy to upgrade older Axias with Smarttechnology.

Ergonomic Design

The AXIA® chair is designed to provide optimum support for those who work in front of a computer and actually prevent the development of health problems. Simply put, you sit better in an Axia, and that’s good for your health.

Vote Sustainability

The high quality results in a life span of at least 10 years. At the end of their useful life, these chairs can be com-pletely recycled, and that’s when the modular construction really comes into its own.

We offer to buy your old chair back and introduce it into a second life.

The Smart Chair vibrates to remind you to correct your posture.But why not use the smart chair as a trigger to move more. Some ideas...

Take the buzzing as a trigger to...

• Get up, move and get a tea round for your colleagues.

• Adjust your desk height and work standing up for the next half hour.

• To tilt your head, circle your shoulders and shake your legs to strech and relax your muscles.

• Start an office competion of “who is the best sitter” judged on the overall seating score.

What to do when the chair is buzzing?
