Japet.W+

Description

The Japet.W+ is an occupational exoskeleton designed to prevent and relieve back pain at work. It protects the lumbar spine during physically demanding tasks, such as handling loads, working in awkward postures, or performing repetitive movements. Therefore, this active exoskeleton helps companies reduce the risks of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), protect employees from back pain, and prevent work stoppages. Its goal is to maintain working ability in the long term and improve retention and quality of life in the workplace.

The Japet.W+ can also help restore the capabilities of workers suffering from lower back pain so they can continue to perform their activities. Thus enabling companies to protect their essential know-how.

The dynamic movement tracking of the Japet.W+ allows workers to maintain mobility and muscle activity in the lumbar region. Furthermore, it reduces the time spent in dangerous angles, promotes good postures, and secures gestures. This boosts workers’ confidence, enabling them to perform tasks safely with less fatigue, thus maintaining productivity and reducing the risk of injury and occupational accidents.

Back protection is essential for workers who are exposed to physical strain. The Japet.W+ is in high demand in workplaces where, despite automation efforts and ergonomic adjustments, tasks are still strenuous or even have a negative impact on people’s health.
