käsinsijoitusta

Käsinsijoitus is a Finnish term that denotes the placement of an object by hand rather than with automated equipment. The word combines käsin meaning by hand and sijoitus meaning placement or insertion. In professional contexts, käsinsijoitus describes the manual positioning or insertion of components, materials, or devices within another object, structure, or tissue, typically requiring tactile feedback, dexterity, and situational judgment.

The concept is used across a range of fields. In medicine, käsinsijoitus can refer to manual implantation of devices, seeds, or carriers in surgical or radiological procedures (for example in brachytherapy). In manufacturing and assembly, it describes hand placing of components during production or repair. In horticulture or environmental work, it can refer to manual planting or positioning of plant material.

Compared with automated or robotic placement, käsinsijoitus emphasizes human flexibility and adaptability to irregular shapes, delicate handling, and on-site adjustments, but it may introduce operator-dependent variability and slower throughput. It also requires appropriate training and safety considerations. The term tends to appear in technical or professional Finnish, and may appear as käsinsijoitus or in adjectival form such as käsinsijoitettu, depending on syntactic context.
