SUMMARY:Fraunhofer IPA – Exo Experience Day (Technology Forum)
DESCRIPTION:Fraunhofer IPA is hosting another Exo Experience Day in Stuttgart. This is a hands-on “technology forum” designed for companies trying to understand how occupational exoskeletons differ\, how they work\, and what to consider when evaluating them for real production needs. Fraunhofer IPA positions itself as an experienced (ExoWorkAthlon) neutral institution\, and one of the world’s largest research institutes focused on exoskeleton development and evaluation. \nThe motivation is familiar to many manufacturing teams: skilled labor shortages\, an aging workforce\, retaining know-how\, reducing sick days\, and ongoing work strain even when restructuring is planned; all common reasons companies start researching exoskeletons\, only to discover a crowded landscape with many device types (supported body region\, active vs. passive vs. soft\, etc.). \nA key practical element is the Exoworkathlon® parcore\, where participants can test exoskeletons from different manufacturers in realistic application scenarios developed with industry\, and get a clearer picture of potential use cases. \nContents:\n\n\nOverview of exoskeletons via classification categories \n\n\nEvaluation methods to investigate effectiveness in work environments \n\n\nAcceptance factors \n\n\nHands-on testing of exoskeletons \n\n\nImplementation aids and guidelines \n\n\nOutlook on digital work design with exoskeletons \n\n\nThe event is led by Fraunhofer’s exoskeleton team\, including Verena Kopp and Urban Daub. \nTakeaways:\nParticipants leave with an overview of how exoskeletons function\, hands-on experience testing different models\, and a useful groundwork for selecting systems for their own company. \nNote: The official event page is in German\, so expect a German-first audience/format. \nWhen: \nMarch 17\, 2026 — 09:30 to 16:00 (CET) \nWhere:\nFraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation (IPA) \nNobelstraße 12\, 70569 Stuttgart\, Germany \nRooms: D5.18 + D5.19 \nRegistration + cancellation policy (for the listing)\nRegistration is handled via Fraunhofer IPA’s signup page. \nCancellations up to 10 days before the event incur a €100 fee; after that\, the full participation fee is due. \nTarget audience\nPlant managers\, occupational safety experts\, ergonomics experts\, innovation managers\, occupational medicine experts\, and anyone evaluating exoskeletons for production environments.

SUMMARY:Exosuit Case Study Panel at ProMat
DESCRIPTION:HeroWear\, maker of the Apex and Apex 2 passive (elastic) back-assist exosuit\, is proud to present a large user-focused panel discussion at the upcoming ProMat. \nTitle: “Exosuit Case Study: Deploying exosuits to improve worker well-being and improve productivity” \nThis is an opportunity to hear directly from companies and organizations implementing occupational exoskeleton technology: \n\nAmerisure (Insurance)\nURM (Food Distribution)\nWhole Foods Market (Grocery)\nRoyal Australian Air Force (Military)\n\nIt is not often that organizations\, such as the ones listed above\, are willing to share their experience with adopting these new ergonomic solutions. This will be real-world data\, not lab studies or hypotheticals. For context\, the Royal Australian Air Force acquired more than 400 Apex suits in 2024\, and it will be fascinating to learn more about how their integration is going. Expect this session to provide valuable insights into how exosuits impact injury rates\, productivity\, and workforce well-being. \nIf you are not at ProMat or can’t attend the panel\, there is a possibility that it will be recorded and released to the public at a later time. \n

SUMMARY:Fraunhofer IPA - Exo Experience Day
DESCRIPTION:Fraunhofer IPA will host its first Exo Experience Day. This will be an in-person event for twelve specialists looking to get a crash course on occupational exoskeletons: from selecting and evaluating to implementing and future outlook. Note that the event will most likely be in German. \nCompanies and employees can be drawn towards wearable devices with the promise of combating: \n\nshortage of skilled workers\naging workforce\nin-house skill retention\nlower number of missed days\nor as a supplement to already implemented job improvements\n\n“These are just a few of the reasons why manufacturing companies often come across the term “exoskeletons” in their research. However\, the research also shows that the world of exoskeletons is extremely diverse. The systems differ\, among other things\, according to the supported body regions and whether they are active\, passive or soft. Currently\, there are already more than 100 commercial systems on the market and each has its special features. For ‘beginners\,’ however\, it is incredibly difficult to get a good overview and find out what is important for their own requirements in the company.” \n“The Exo Experience Day is therefore an offer for all companies that want to deal with the question of how exoskeletons differ\, how they work and whether exoskeletons can offer adequate support in their production. The Fraunhofer IPA is one of the world’s largest research institutes in the development and evaluation of exoskeletons. Our experts will introduce you to the functional principles of different types of exoskeletons and give you tips for the right choice as a neutral institution. Test various exoskeletons from different manufacturers in our Exoworkathlon® course (realistic application scenarios developed with industry) and get an impression of the potential and fields of application of these technologies.” \nThe event is meant for: plant managers\, occupational safety\, ergonomics experts\, innovation managers\, or those with a focused on occupational medicine. \nFor more information\, location\, price and registration\, visit the Fraunhofer IPA event webpage. \n

SUMMARY:Masterclass: Are You Really Ready For Exoskeletons?
DESCRIPTION:ErgoExpo returns in 2024 to the colorful city of Las Vegas. Like the 2023 edition\, the conference will feature several talks on occupational and industrial exoskeletons. One of those will be a Masterclass titled “Are You Really Ready for Exoskeletons?” This workshop will be equally divided between a four-member expert panel and a Q&A session. \n \n\nMarisol Barrero will present on workplace readiness to successfully implement an exoskeleton at a company site. This will include but not be limited to leadership readiness and how a company will decide why or why not to use exoskeletons. Emphasis will be placed on what type of decisions you need to make about exos.\nSarah Ballini-Ross will discuss how to plan and prepare a pilot study at your company\, including plans\, worker education\, and getting teams to use the device.\nMatthew “Matt” Marino will talk about how ASTM F48 standards can be used at your company.\nThomas “Tom” Sugar will present on ExoWorkAthlon. What data can we share about how exoskeletons have helped in the workplace and improved the quality of work?\nThere will be 50 minutes of presentations and 50 minutes of discussions with the audience.\n\nExR’s perspective: I have personally met and/or worked on projects with all four presenters. My only regret is that I won’t be able to attend this Masterclass in person. \n“Industrial exoskeletons are a relatively recent innovation that may offer benefits to your workplace.  However\, how do you truly know if you are ready to even trial them\, let alone implement them?   Exoskeleton pilots/trials and full implementation are dramatically different stages of a program\, and understanding the planning and preparation required for each of these stages is critical to success. This session\, presented by the Automotive Exoskeleton Group (AExG) and some of the earliest adopters of exoskeletons\, will provide valuable education and insights from real world experience to help you succeed.” \nLink to the Masterclass Agenda: LINK \nAbout the Masters of the Masterclass (as noted on the ErgoExpo website):\nMarisol Barrero has recently started a new position as Global Ergonomics Manager with Vibrantz Technologies\, a global manufacturer of chemicals and advanced materials.
