Summary:Recent studies show that an increasing amount of information, in terms of cognitive and motor demand, is required from tasks to be performed in work environments where Industry 4.0 technologies are implemented. In this paper, an objective parameters-based theoretical model is proposed to estimate the information-based processing time of a motor and cognitive task. The evaluation of the information-based processing time is based on two physiological parameters: Oxygen Consumption and Heart Rate. The effectiveness of the model on both cognitive and motor case study is tested. The results achieved shown that the individual respiratory capacity significantly affects the evaluation of the information-based processing time. More generally, a higher respiratory capacity allows to minimize the information-based processing time, improving the individual’s performance.
