Training a neural network model to predict heat stress in the manufacturing industry on the basis of weather forecast.

The present contribution at the PPTR 2018 conference includes the forecast of heat stress in the manufacturing industry on the basis of preliminary measurements in a specific thermal environment. On the basis of heat stress, we can define periods when it is necessary to implement personal cooling strategies to improve the wellbeing of employees and, ultimately, improve productivity.
