Areas of application for exoskeletons - where do they make a difference?

Whether on a building site, in logistics, in the trades or in industry - physically demanding activities are part of everyday life in many professions.

Modern exoskeletons offer an innovative solution here: they provide employees with targeted support for heavy, one-sided or ergonomically unfavorable work and thus help to avoid overload, exhaustion and long-term health problems. In this article, we show how widely exoskeletons are already being used today - and the potential they offer for companies and employees in a wide range of industries.

1. Logistics sector and beverage logistics

In the logistics industry, transporting goods, warehousing and order picking are part of the daily tasks. Overloading and fatigue often occur when lifting and carrying heavy objects.

➡️ How does an exoskeleton help?

• Improving working conditions by relieving the strain of lifting and carrying

• Protection of employee health through reduced muscle strain

• Increased efficiency in storage and transportation processes

  
  

2. Construction industry

Heavy physical work, such as lifting and carrying building materials, is commonplace in the construction industry. Incorrect posture and long-term strain on the muscles and joints often lead to long-term health problems.

➡️ How does an exoskeleton help?

• Support for ergonomically demanding movements

• Reduction of physical strain on muscles and joints

• Increase work efficiency and avoid downtime

  
  

3. Gardening and landscaping

Gardening and landscaping often involves lifting and moving heavy materials such as planters, tools or soil. Working in a stooped position or when weeding and raking puts particular strain on the back and knees.

➡️ How does an exoskeleton help?

• Support for lifting and carrying movements

• Relief for the back muscles and reduction of knee strain

• Increased safety and avoidance of incorrect posture

  
  

4. Agriculture

In agriculture, physically demanding and repetitive tasks are part of everyday life - from field work to harvesting. The constant strain often leads to muscle fatigue and overload.

➡️  How does an exoskeleton help?

• Support for lifting and carrying

• Minimization of muscle fatigue and improvement of mobility

• Increased work performance due to reduced fatigue

  
  

5. Healthcare and nursing

Working in healthcare and nursing is physically demanding - especially when lifting and moving patients. Daily routines such as morning care are particularly physically demanding.

➡️ How does an exoskeleton help?

• Support with lifting and repositioning patients

• Relief for the back muscles during long working shifts

• Improving the quality of work and reducing absences due to overload
