• #Ford is first automaker to integrate workers wearing exoskeleton suits into assembly line
• Suits enable workers to lift and manoeuvre components that might otherwise be too heavy
• Musculoskeletal disorders make up more than half of all work-related illnesses in Europe • 100 workers use exoskeleton suits at #Ford facility in Valencia, Spain
COLOGNE, Germany, Feb. 2, 2018 – Exoskeleton suits endow users with the power to more easily lift and manoeuvre heavy objects. And now, for the first time, they have been integrated into a moving vehicle assembly line. The futuristic outfits might bring to mind Tony Stark’s transformation into superhero alter ego Iron Man – but in reality they provide support for the wearer’s shoulders and back, shifting the weight to the hips, so reducing the occurrence of workplace injuries. “Working on an assembly line requires knowledge, skill and can be physically challenging. Exoskeleton suits might look like something out of sci-fi but they really can help to reduce stress for our employees and make physically demanding tasks easier,” said Dale Wishnousky, vice president, Manufacturing, #Ford of Europe.
