S700 Overhead Exoskeleton from ExoIQ

The S700 was presented to the public for the first time at Automatica 2022. Production will start in the 1st quarter of 2023 and the shoulder exoskeleton will then be available. A demonstration at your site is already possible now. Please feel free to contact our sales department for an appointment. From October 2022, the 5700 will be used in practical tests at selected industrial companies in Germany. The Shoulder Exoskeleton 5700 is developed and manufactured in Germany. The production site is Illertissen in Bavaria.

The S700 generates the additional force by means of pneumatics. This is generated by a battery-powered compressor.

In addition to the exoskeleton, the ExoIQ application was also developed. The application allows you to analyze and evaluate your workplace via video. The current force application is displayed and posture information such as load weight, angle, density, duration and more are evaluated based on an ergonomic screening process. The ExoIQ app is free and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. You don't need an exoskeleton to analyze a video workshop, just a smartphone or tablet camera. The ergonomics assessment was created by sports scientists at Helmut Schmidt University and is based on the ergonomics lists and assessment methods recognized by the DGUV and the IFA. With the ExolQ app, companies can access assessment areas and application reports. Reports show which activities the exoskeleton supports and which areas need to be reconfigured. But even those without an S700 can take advantage of an interesting feature. Video position recognition technology can be used to record and analyze the physical activities of manufacturing and production. In this way, the applicability or expected release of the exoskeleton can be assessed before extensive testing is performed. For the first time, the Exolo app provides clinicians and ergonomists with a live workplace assessment so they can identify the steps of primary and secondary activities in a time-normalized representation. Automatic reporting captures information about the weight, angle, frequency and duration of the load removed. The weight of the load being carried depends on the carrier group and the task being performed. The ExoIQ app allows you to record and document your work with the exoskeleton. An automatically generated report accurately shows the user's movements and the support provided by the S700. This makes ergonomic workplace analysis much easier. All recordings are saved locally on your own device.
