The study evaluates the influence of the semi-automation of a rotating workbench in the MIG welding process, focusing on ergonomic and productivity aspects in a metallurgical industry of the Manaus Industrial Pole. The research shows that the implementation of semi-automation led to significant improvements in operators' quality of life, a reduction in musculoskeletal-related absences, and a 63% increase in daily productivity. The work combines qualitative and quantitative analysis, using field methods and literature review.
