German Bionic Exoskeletons
In a world where physically demanding tasks often become a burden for employees, German Bionic has created a pioneering solution with its innovative exoskeletons. The company combines state-of-the-art robotics and AI-based technologies to improve occupational safety and ergonomics in industries such as Logistics, Care and retail. In this article you will learn how the exoskeletons from German Bionic Back and muscles, making them the ideal choice for companies that prioritise safety and efficiency.
About German Bionic: Pioneer of exoskeleton technology
German Bionic, a leading company in European robotics, specialises in the development and production of robots. Manufacture specialises in intelligent exoskeletons. With headquarters in Germany and the USA and additional branches in Berlin, Boston, Augsburg and Tokyo, the company specialises in high-quality wearable technologies that combine mechanical support with intelligent software. The aim of German Bionic is to increase productivity and promote the health of employees by reducing physical strain during strenuous activities.
Functionality meets high-tech
The exoskeletons from German Bionic, including the models Apogee and Apogee+are battery-powered, active e-exoskeletons that combine mechanical structures with electric motors and artificial intelligence. These devices are specially designed to assist with activities such as lifting, walking and working in a bent-over posture by compensating for lifting up to 36 kilograms (in Ultra mode). By integrating an ergonomics early warning system called Smart Safety Companion and the cloud-based data platform German Bionic IO the exoskeletons enable continuous improvement and adaptation of ergonomics in real time. As a result, companies benefit from reduced fatigue and a lower risk of injury for their employees.

Apogee
The Apogee combines human intelligence with machine power and is designed to assist workers with lifting, walking and carrying. It provides effective physical support for activities in the warehouse, including picking, loading and unloading as well as (de)palletising. Thanks to its IP54 protection against dust and water, it can also be used in challenging working environments.
Apogee+
Specially designed for the care sector, the Apogee+ supports carers in daily tasks such as lifting and moving patients. It offers lifting support of up to 36 kg and active walking support. The design facilitates disinfection and ensures a high level of comfort, resulting in a high level of acceptance among carers and patients.
Application solutions
- Industry and logisticsThe Apogee exoskeleton supports workers during physically demanding activities such as lifting, carrying, loading and unloading. It reduces fatigue, protects against overloading and at the same time increases efficiency in work processes.
- CareThe Apogee+ relieves carers of physically demanding tasks, improves ergonomics and makes a lasting contribution to the prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
- General occupational safetyThe Smart SafetyVest enables the monitoring of ergonomic data, identifies risk factors and provides targeted support for the implementation of measures to improve occupational safety.
The Smart SafetyVest: Intelligent safety for the workplace of tomorrow
The intelligent, washable waistcoat is equipped with ergonomic sensors and analyses movement data to improve ergonomics and safety in the workplace. It enables precise risk analyses and promotes productivity through targeted optimisations. It offers a wide range of benefits that contribute to improving workplace safety and ergonomics:
- Analysis of workplace-specific dataThe German Bionic IO platform is used to collect and evaluate detailed data in order to make well-founded decisions to optimise the working environment.
- Identification of risk factors and optimisation areasContinuous data collection enables potential sources of danger to be recognised at an early stage and appropriate measures to be initiated.
- Cloud-based installation with unlimited expansion optionsThe flexible, cloud-based architecture enables simple scaling and integration into existing systems.
- Fulfilment of the ESG monitoring requirementsSupports companies in complying with environmental, social and governance guidelines through comprehensive monitoring.
- Little to no change in daily tasksThe SafetyVest can be seamlessly integrated into everyday working life without disrupting existing processes.
German Bionic IO: Data insights for intelligent workplace optimisation
German Bionic integrates cloud-based solutions to analyse data from exoskeletons and wearables in real time. These insights support companies in optimising work processes, reducing poor posture and implementing preventative measures. German Bionic provides two complementary data platforms, each offering specific functions for different user groups:
- German Bionic IOThis comprehensive data management platform consolidates bio-telematic data from all connected devices and provides in-depth insights into ergonomics, safety and workplace utilisation. Companies can use it to optimise workplaces and monitor the effectiveness of safety measures.
- German Bionic Connect AppThe Connect app is aimed at individual users and enables personalised access to specific device data. Users can control their interactions with the technology, gain transparency about the exoskeleton's support in their day-to-day work and benefit from gamification elements that encourage active use.
Advantages for the practice
The exoskeletons from German Bionic help companies in several areas: they promote a healthier working environment by reducing strain and providing effective support during strenuous activities. The continuous adaptation of the technology through updates ensures that the devices are always kept up to date and are increasingly customised to the needs of employees. Investing in an exoskeleton therefore not only means an ergonomic improvement, but also a long-term increase in operational efficiency.
German Bionic Exoskeletons: The future of occupational safety
With the exoskeletons from German Bionic, companies and employees are experiencing a revolution in work safety and efficiency. The intelligent, battery-powered technology relieves strain on the back, provides support for heavy lifting and at the same time improves work processes through networked data analyses and continuous updates. For anyone working in logistics, care or retail, the exoskeletons from German Bionic offer a forward-looking solution that focusses on long-term health, safety and productivity.
Conclusion
German Bionic shows how innovative exoskeleton technology can revolutionise everyday working life. By combining state-of-the-art AI, robust design and cloud-based solutions, their exoskeletons are setting new standards for ergonomics and occupational safety. Companies not only benefit from increased efficiency and productivity, but also actively contribute to the health and well-being of their employees. German Bionic's exoskeletons effectively reduce physical strain - a decisive step towards a safer and more sustainable working environment.
