Exoskeletons combine human intelligence with mechanical strength. They support employees in physically demanding activities or when working in unergonomic postures. At EXO PARK, exoskeleton manufacturers will present their systems and you will have the opportunity to test them yourself.
At A+A 2025, manufacturers of digital ergonomics tools will also be presenting their latest innovations at EXO PARK. This will demonstrate and strengthen the relevance of data-based ergonomic work design in conjunction with exoskeletons as an ergonomic measure.
ADVANTAGES OF EXOSKELETONS
23% of all absences due to illness are attributable to musculoskeletal disorders - mainly caused by incorrect physical strain when lifting and carrying. Exoskeletons can have an impact on this. The aim of exoskeletons is
to enable employees to carry out their work in a way that protects their health
to relieve physically strenuous activities, support the musculoskeletal system and thus reduce strain
to reduce sickness-related absences and production losses
ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL ERGONOMICS TOOLS
They provide objective data as a basis for decisions on ergonomic work design measures - Data-Driven Decision Making!
Personal influences are recorded using digital data and used for the evaluation of ergonomic measures (e.g. exoskeletons).
The effects of ergonomic measures can be simulated, tested and evaluated in advance before they are integrated into the work process.
THESE LEADING EXHIBITORS ARE TAKING PART THIS YEAR
Try out exoskeletons for yourself in the EXO PARK at A+A
Experience the future of workplace technology up close in the EXO PARK at A+A!
Here you have the unique opportunity to try out exoskeletons for yourself and discover the innovative developments in the field of physical support. You will also find out how these advanced devices can revolutionize ergonomics and safety in the workplace. Immerse yourself in the world of exoskeletons and test their impressive functions and benefits. You can also find out more in our video, live from the last A+A.
EXOWORKATHLON® Study
In addition, the Fraunhofer IPA and the University of Stuttgart (IFF) will present the EXOWORKATHLON®.
A live demonstration of various practical activities that can benefit from industrial exoskeletons to show and discuss functions in terms of user feedback, ergonomics and production quality. The associated study has already compared the data of >125 test subjects during their one-hour activities with and without exoskeletons.
At the same time, the WearRAcon Europe conference organized by the Fraunhofer IPA and the University of Stuttgart (IFF) will take place at the A+A exhibition grounds, where technological and ergonomic topics relating to exoskeletons will be discussed.
