Provide a safer & efficient work environment through the adoption of a wearable exoskeleton.
Encourage the participation of more women in roles traditionally occupied by men.
Solution
The EXY exoskeleton reduces effort in the upper limbs, minimizing injuries, and enhancing performance and safety. The device empowers the operator by providing increased strength and protecting muscles, joints, and bones. Equipped with IoT to collect and analyze data, activate sensors for worker health, and improve equipment control.
By bridging the physical biotype gap, exoskeletons empower women to participate in and excel at positions previously considered challenging due to physical demands. The integration of technology, particularly in industries traditionally dominated by physically demanding roles, heralds a significant advancement in fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Achievements
Lighter wearable in the market (3,5Kg)
Effort reduction of 16Kg
Women equipped with exoskeletons can perform tasks that require lifting, carrying, or repetitive movements with reduced strain and risk of injury.
