Back support in everyday working life: the BionicBack exoskeleton provides relief in metal and sheet metal processing
Horb am Neckar – 19 September 2024 – Companies in the metal and sheet metal processing sector face the daily challenge of reducing the physical strain on their employees while increasing efficiency. This is where the BionicBack exoskeleton from hTRIUS comes in – an ergonomic innovation specially developed for use in physically demanding work areas. Combining lightness, flexibility and optimal support, the BionicBack provides significant relief in everyday work.
hTRIUS will be presenting the BionicBack exoskeleton at this year's EuroBLECH in Hanover. From 22 to 25 October 2024, visitors to the trade fair can experience the exoskeleton live in Hall 15, Stand F06G.
Essential support for metalworking
Metalworkers and sheet metal workers are exposed to high physical demands on a daily basis. Constant lifting, carrying and positioning of heavy materials often leads to back and joint pain as well as musculoskeletal disorders. The BionicBack exoskeleton provides targeted support for heavy and repetitive tasks. It supports and corrects posture, reduces back strain by up to 30 per cent and promotes an ergonomic, natural posture, thereby contributing to the health of employees. By providing targeted relief, companies can improve the health of their employees and increase their productivity.
Tested and recommended by experts
The BionicBack exoskeleton from hTRIUS is the first exoskeleton to receive the AGR Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. seal of approval for particularly back-friendly products. This award is only given to products that are classified as "back-friendly" and thus promote long-term back health.
Versatile applications in the metalworking industry
The BionicBack exoskeleton is suitable for numerous applications in metal and sheet metal working:
Lifting and transporting: Relief when lifting and holding heavy sheet metal parts and metal components.
Machine operation: Minimising physical fatigue on presses and bending machines.
Welding work: Support for ergonomically correct posture during long working hours in static positions.
Working on production lines: Relief from repetitive movements such as lifting and positioning components.
Assembly and disassembly: Facilitates the lifting and assembly of heavy materials such as steel, aluminium and stainless steel.
Thanks to the BionicBack exoskeleton, metalworkers and sheet metal workers can work more efficiently and significantly reduce the risk of injuries, especially to the back and joints.
Advantages of the BionicBack exoskeleton
Reduction of workplace accidents: By providing support during heavy and repetitive tasks, the exoskeleton reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and accidents. This reduces absenteeism due to illness and the associated costs.
Increased productivity: Thanks to the relief and reduced fatigue provided by the exoskeleton, employees complete their tasks faster and more efficiently, resulting in higher overall productivity.
Ergonomic benefits: The BionicBack exoskeleton promotes ergonomically correct posture, which improves the long-term health and well-being of metal and sheet metal workers.
Sustainability and cost efficiency: Fewer work-related absences and higher efficiency lead to long-term cost savings and a more sustainable way of working. The BionicBack exoskeleton is an investment that quickly pays for itself.
Attractiveness as an employer: A modern and health-conscious workplace attracts qualified professionals. This can be advantageous when recruiting new talent and acquiring customers.
Versatile applications: The exoskeleton can be used in various areas of the metal and sheet metal industry, such as lifting and positioning heavy sheets, bending and punching metal components, and performing inspections, maintenance and assembly work. This versatility makes it a valuable investment for a variety of tasks in production and processing.
