Agade develops semi-active industrial exoskeletons designed to mitigate fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders in workers handling heavy loads. Their AI-powered devices, like the Lowback and Shoulder models, automatically adjust biomechanical support based on user movement during lifting and repetitive tasks. These wearable robotics aim to reduce strain on the lumbar region and shoulders by offloading weight, enhancing worker health and safety.

Problem
Manual load handling in industrial settings poses a significant risk of shoulder musculoskeletal disorders for workers. Repetitive motions and heavy lifting can lead to injuries, decreased productivity, and increased healthcare costs.
Solution
Agade develops and provides the Agadexo Shoulder, an intelligent robotic exoskeleton designed to mitigate the risk of shoulder injuries during manual load handling. The exoskeleton supports and augments the wearer's movements, reducing strain on shoulder muscles and joints. By providing assistance with lifting and maneuvering tasks, the Agadexo Shoulder enhances worker safety, reduces fatigue, and improves overall efficiency in industrial environments. The system is designed to be adaptable to various tasks and body types, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit for a wide range of users.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes workers in manufacturing, logistics, and quality control roles who perform repetitive manual load handling tasks, as well as companies focused on improving worker safety and reducing workplace injuries.
