Humans will still play an important role in the factories of the future. Manual work and the role of the worker will gain even greater importance according to the concept of Industry 5.0. Today, in the manufacturing industry, too much attention is paid only to the prevention of workplace risks that have an immediate impact on health and well-being, such as blows, cuts, etc. However, insufficient attention is paid to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which appear after a long period of time, but are no less dangerous for the worker's health. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the workplaces and reduce or eliminate these risks. In our research we used a program that analyzes workplace ergonomics with the help of artificial intelligence. We made analysis of the current state in the selected company and prepared a priority list of tasks according to the level of risk for the occurrence of MSDs. With the help of the morphological matrix, we proposed some improvements and, together with the program, designed the most optimal solution. The results of the analysis show that more than 80% of the tasks on the assembly lines were assessed as having a high or very high level of risk, with the right elbow being the most exposed.
