Ford workers transform into "Iron Man" and use exoskeletons to slow down their operating pressure


[Netease Smart News November 13 news] Ford external bone equipment to test the pressure to ease the pressure of factory workers, the use of this non-powered support equipment, can help employees to complete about 4,600 daily high-altitude tasks.

Some companies began to consider recommending the application of exoskeleton equipment to actual production operations, for example, as soldiers support tools or to help paraplegic patients walk properly. But as the "lifting" model demonstrated by Labor, these applications can also be customized to help workers accomplish more difficult daily tasks. Ford is adopting a unique strategy. They invest in the production of a new exoskeleton device, EksoVest, so that factory workers can reduce stress when they are lifting or completing high-altitude operations.

Ford Motor Company pointed out in a previous press conference that some Ford employees had to perform heavy lifting or complete high-altitude operations every day as many as 4,600 such actions, up to one million times a year. The unpowered EksoVest, designed by Ekso Bionics in collaboration with Ford, can help workers reduce the weight of five to fifteen pounds, thereby reducing the pressure on the upper body of the user, while preventing fatigue to a certain extent, helping to avoid Work accidents due to muscle fatigue and brain exhaustion. EksoVest is suitable for people of all heights. Employees from 5 feet to 6 feet, 4 inches in height can find a suitable one, and this product is designed for everyone who works at high load in factories, construction sites and distribution centers. design.

“By cooperating with Ford, we can directly listen to the opinions of the workers on their production line, thereby testing and improving the early prototype of EksoVest,” said Russ Angold, co-founder and chief technology officer of Ekso Bionics at the Ford press conference. Say this. “The end result is the production of a wearable tool that can reduce the pressure on the workers' body, reduce the risk of injury, and make them feel better after the end of the day. This can both increase work efficiency and boost morale. ”

At present, Ford is testing EksoVest in two factories in the United States and plans to promote this pilot project to Europe and South America. Union Motors workers support this new idea. (English source: Engadget compilation: NetEase review translation robot review: Sarah)
