Our customers face similar challenges and rely on exoskeletons from SUITX by Ottobock.

Physically demanding and repetitive tasks place a high physical strain on employees. The resulting musculoskeletal disorders account for more than a quarter of sick days in Germany and even more than a third of absences in the USA. This has consequences for productivity.

Areas of Application

The main cause of sick leave in logistics is physical strain due to frequent repetitive activities, heavy lifting operations, and unfavorable positions in squatting or bent postures.

In the mobility industry, tasks that require lifting the arms at or above shoulder height are also common. This includes overhead assembly work, wiring harness, airbag, or seat installation, as well as masking, sealant application, and sanding in the paint shop.

However, workplaces in other industries, services, and trades are also affected, such as vehicle and machinery construction, surgery and nursing, craft and service sectors. These situations cannot always be avoided through other measures, making exoskeletons the perfect solution.

Seamless Integration

Our exoskeletons are particularly lightweight and can be worn throughout an entire shift due to their slim design. For instance, with our IX BACK AIR, your employees can operate fork lifts without restrictions, and the IX SHOULDER can be don and doff like a backpack in just a few seconds.

Our exoskeletons integrate excellently into your occupational safety concept and represent an ideal addition to your catalog of measures for making workplaces more attractive.
