| When Is an Exoskeleton Actually the Right Solution?
Not every physical strain in the workplace automatically calls for an exoskeleton. Sometimes the cause can be reduced simply by adjusting the workstation, work equipment, or work processes.
The key question is therefore not: “Which exoskeleton do we need?”
But rather, first: “Where does the strain come from—and how can it be effectively reduced?”
Only then can we assess what role an exoskeleton might play.
✓ Can the strain be reduced directly at the workstation?
✓ Can work equipment or processes be designed to be more ergonomic?
✓ Does significant physical strain persist despite these measures?
✓ Is there a suitable wearable support solution for this?
✓ Does this solution prove effective under real-world working conditions?
An exoskeleton is therefore not automatically the starting point for ergonomic improvement. Rather, it can be a targeted component within a well-thought-out ergonomic concept.
That’s exactly why it’s worth taking a close look at the actual work situation before deciding on a specific system.
