This project focuses on creating an inclusive assembly and packaging process for breathing pens, designed specifically for individuals with upper limb disabilities. Breathing pens were chosen because they require minimal manual dexterity, making them accessible to workers with limited arm or hand use. We are developing a manufacturing system built around accessibility, using disability friendly designs and automation to ensure full participation. The goal is not just to accommodate but to actively include workers with disabilities as essential contributors, setting a new standard for inclusive employment.
