Exoskeletons for industry

Exoskeletons in industry often go hand in hand with Industry 4.0. In practically all manufacturing companies, the limits of automation are being reached in some workplaces. Exoskeletons can provide good relief where employees are subject to high physical strain. The future will bring further possible applications for exoskeletons. Here you can find out all about exoskeletons in industry and why they have a bright future.

Industry sectors
Possible applications
Food industry

In food production in particular, employees are often confronted with long periods of standing work and physical strain when lifting. Exoskeletons have already provided a good remedy in some companies.

Exoskeletons for these applications:
Paexo Back, LiftSuit, Soft Back, Paexo Shoulder, Armon Edero

Automotive industry

The automotive industry is in a state of constant change, and the mobility revolution is not the only reason why new challenges are constantly arising. Exoskeletons can reduce many stresses and strains.

Activities & professions:
Mechanic, assembly line worker, tyre fitting

Exoskeletons for these applications:
Paexo Back, LiftSuit, Soft Back

Electrical industry

The electrical industry and electrical trades are confronted with very different types of stress. Many health problems can be prevented with exoskeletons, especially in assembly.

Activities & professions:
Switch cabinet builder, electrician, ceiling installation of light fittings

Exoskeletons for these applications:
Paexo Back, LiftSuit, Soft Back, Paexo Shoulder

Wood industry

Wood is a natural raw material that has been increasingly focussed on, and not just because of the climate debate. There are also various fields of application for exoskeletons in the wood industry.

Activities & professions:
Warehouse employee, sawmill, machine setter

Exoskeletons for these applications:

Paexo Back, LiftSuit, Soft Back

How can exoskeletons help?

Exoskeletons are a relatively new technology that is increasingly appearing in our everyday lives. These mechanical devices are worn over clothing and expand the natural powers and abilities of the human body. For example, they can help you lift heavy loads or walk long distances without tiring your body.

In many industries, there are still manual tasks that are associated with high physical strain. The risk of injury or even chronic illness is relatively high. Here, wearing an exoskeleton could not only increase the employee's performance, but also make a decisive contribution to preventing back pain, for example.

In addition, there are more and more industry-specific requirements where conventional protective clothing alone is no longer sufficient. In this case, an exoskeleton offers the possibility of to give users additional strength and agility - and without restricting their natural mobility. Employees can therefore put on their exoskeleton and immediately increase their performance without jeopardising their health by lifting too much or working with poor posture.

Exoskeletons are therefore ideal for industrial applications.e, but that is not their only area of application. Exoskeletons can also help with the rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities or other problems. By wearing such a device, these people can learn to walk again or improve their mobility. This not only gives them more independence, but also a better body awareness. The possibilities for the use of exoskeletons in the Medicine and rehabilitation are diverse and offer patients new hope of recovery or at least relief from their symptoms.

How can exoskeleton technology support Industry 4.0?

Industry 4.0 is a new era of production and manufacturing - and exoskeletons play an important role. They enable people to carry heavy loads that could otherwise only be handled by heavy machinery. With exoskeletons, workers in factories can perform strenuous tasks that they would otherwise not be able to do without injuring themselves. This technology also allows workers to work longer hours as they have to exert less physical effort. By using an exoskeleton, they can move heavy loads while maintaining maximum mobility and flexibility. Therefore, Industry 4.0 with exoskeletons offers enormous potential to improve people's workflows while increasing production efficiency.

Exoskeletons can also help with the automation and digital transformation of Industry 4.0. They can help workers create more productive and efficient workflows while reducing costs. The potential of exoskeletons in Industry 4.0 is virtually unlimited. It is therefore time for companies to take notice of this revolutionary technology and use it to their advantage.

Why exoskeletonsWhere do we stand with technology today? 

In the industrial environment, overhead work is currently the main area of interest for the use of exoskeletons, such as Paexo-Shoulder(Link Paexo Shoulder). However, this technology is also relevant for other areas of application and will be further developed and improved in the coming years. So far, exoskeletons can be used primarily for so-called monotonous-repetitive activities where there is little to no variation. This includes, for example, lifting loads or operating tools in a specific position. Exoskeletons can also be used for activities that require fine movements. For example, they can help with the operation of CNC machines or the assembly of small parts.

In the future, it will also be possible to use the technology for other activities that require greater mobility and flexibility. 

What does the future look like?

The future of industrial exoskeletons is very promising. This technology has developed rapidly in recent years and a number of high-quality products have already been launched on the market. In the future, more and more companies will recognise the added value that exoskeletons can offer their employees. By using exoskeletons, companies can not only improve working conditions, but also increase productivity and thus save costs. In the coming years, the areas of application for exoskeletons will continue to expand and also become relevant for other industries. For example, they could be used in the Carein agriculture or in logistics. The costs for the Manufacture of exoskeletons could fall in the future as more and more companies become active in this area and competitive pressure increases. This in turn could lead to lower prices for end consumers.

The next challenge is therefore to utilise this technology on a larger scale and make it usable for a wider range of tasks and applications.

How can exoskeletons help to increase productivity?

Exoskeletons can be an essential part of Industry 4.0. They offer the opportunity to increase productivity by reducing physical strain for those involved in manual labour. By supporting the muscular strength of users, exoskeletons can help reduce fatigue and improve health and safety in the workplace. In addition, exoskeletons can be used to facilitate the repetitive movements required in Industry 4.0. This can play a valuable role in the maintenance and servicing of production facilities as well as in the handling of heavy loads found in many industries. Overall, exoskeletons can contribute to increasing productivity and efficiency in Industry 4.0, helping to reduce costs and increase production.
