What are the advantages of exoskeletons?

Exoskeletons are more than just technological innovations – they relieve strain on employees, improve productivity and ensure better ergonomics in the workplace.

In recent years, exoskeletons have established themselves as valuable aids in various areas of work. Especially in industry and logistics, where heavy loads are regularly lifted and physically demanding tasks are performed, exoskeletons contribute significantly to relieving strain on employees. But what specific advantages do exoskeletons offer companies and employees? In this article, we highlight the most important advantages and explain how exoskeletons can improve the working world in the long term.

The ergonomic structure of the BionicBack fits snugly, like a second back. This supports your lumbar region and brings it into an optimal position.

Reduction of injuries and fatigue

A key advantage of exoskeletons is their preventive effect against work-related injuries, particularly musculoskeletal disorders.

How does it work?

Exoskeletons distribute the weight of loads more evenly across the body, thereby relieving specific muscles and joints. The risk of strain and poor posture is significantly reduced, which can prevent long-term health problems.

Improving workplace ergonomics

An ergonomic working environment is crucial for the health and productivity of employees. Exoskeletons actively contribute to improving ergonomics in the workplace.

How does it work?

Exoskeletons support the body's natural movements and help maintain correct posture. This reduces strain caused by awkward movements and prevents tension and poor posture.

increase in productivity

Higher productivity is a key competitive factor in many industries. Exoskeletons enable employees to work longer and more efficiently.

How does this work?

By reducing fatigue and physical strain, employees can maintain their performance throughout the entire working day. The result is faster processes, less downtime and higher productivity.

Improvement in the quality of work

More precise and higher-quality work results are a direct result of the physical support provided by exoskeletons.

How does this work?

When physical fatigue and strain are reduced, employees find it easier to concentrate on their work and perform movements precisely. This leads to consistently high-quality work results.

Support for older workers

In an ageing society, it is becoming increasingly important to retain the workforce of experienced employees for as long as possible. Exoskeletons can play a decisive role in this.

How does it work?

By providing support during physically demanding activities, exoskeletons enable older employees to remain active and productive for longer. This protects their health and increases job satisfaction.

Versatile applicability

Exoskeletons are not only suitable for specific industries or activities – their applications are extremely versatile.

Examples of areas of application:

• Logistics

• Industry

• Retail

• Construction

• Care

Our BionicBack provides particular support for lifting and static bending – movements that occur regularly in many different fields of work.

Support with recruitment

The ability to reduce physical strain with exoskeletons can also be an advantage in recruiting.

How does this work?

Employers who invest in the health and well-being of their employees stand out positively in the labour market. The prospect of a less physically demanding workplace makes companies more attractive to applicants and helps to retain skilled workers in the long term.
