KnowErgo

What Is KnowErgo?

KnowErgo is an AI-powered ergonomics assessment tool from Knowella that turns a short video of a work task into a risk score and a plan to fix it. Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) and ergonomics professionals use it to identify where poor posture and lifting activities create strain, open corrective actions, and confirm that the fixes worked. Because assessments are based on actual task footage, organizations can prove progress without waiting on an outside consultant visit.

What Is KnowErgo Best For?

KnowErgo stands out for its AI-based frame-by-frame pose analysis, which lets safety managers see exactly when a task crosses the action limit. Instead of relying on a single snapshot, pose estimation tracks joints, angles, and load in every frame, and the whole clip is scored.

How Much Does KnowErgo Cost?

KnowErgo pricing typically starts at $80/month for this module, in addition to Knowella’s platform subscription. The final cost is customized based on a business’s specific requirements. Other than the subscription, buyers should also consider the following estimated additional costs:

• Implementation And Template Setup: $1,000–$7,500 (one-time) for templates, user roles, approval routes, and corrective action rules
• Assessor Training: $300–$1,500/person for recording usable clips and interpreting risk scores
• Integrations: $1,000–$6,000 for EHS, HRIS, maintenance, ERP, and single sign-on connections
• Expert Review: $1,500–$10,000/year for certified ergonomist review of high-risk or disputed results

Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

KnowErgo Use Cases

Based on our analysis of KnowErgo's current capabilities, we have identified the following key business scenarios where it works well:

Ergonomics Teams Tracking Discomfort Reports Without Follow-Up Assessment

A worker's early ache or pain may be recorded without a follow-up task review, even though unaddressed discomfort can signal an ergonomic issue that needs assessment. KnowErgo routes every discomfort report toward a task assessment and flags it when no assessment follows within the expected window. As a result, a reported problem moves into a task review instead of remaining an isolated symptom.

Safety Officers Investigating MSD Injuries Without Checking Prior Warnings

When a musculoskeletal injury is confirmed, investigators may need to determine whether an earlier discomfort report or task assessment had already identified a potential risk. KnowErgo links the injury record back to any earlier discomfort report and prior assessment, surfacing the gap between what was known and what was done. For investigators, this adds earlier findings and follow-up history to the case, helping them examine the task alongside the individual injury.

EHS Teams Overlooking Static Posture Risks In Low-Motion Tasks

A job that involves no lifting or repeated motion, like standing bent over an inspection line, may appear low-risk even though holding one position for extended periods can still place sustained load on the body. KnowErgo scores hold duration, whether a worker can change posture, and the workstation height to account for static loading during the assessment. In practice, this brings static loading into view as a hazard instead of treating a low-motion task as low-risk by default.

Workplace Health Teams Missing Visual Strain In Desk Assessments

A desk assessment may show acceptable posture, chair, and screen positioning while leaving visual symptoms unchecked, resulting in an incomplete assessment. KnowErgo scores vision and eye strain as their own section, independent of posture, and flags any visual symptom left without a follow-up or referral. The result is a fuller assessment that still captures eye strain when the desk setup itself looks acceptable.

Is KnowErgo Right For You?

If your organization needs AI-powered ergonomics assessments while keeping data, access, and agent actions controlled, KnowErgo may be a fit. To protect assessment data, Knowella uses encryption and supports SSO, SAML, and MFA. From there, role-based permissions control who can access or modify information, while audit logs track actions and changes. For agent activity, human approval is required before agents take actions on a user’s behalf.
