Problem
Workers in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and other industries face significant physical strain from prolonged standing, heavy lifting, and repetitive overhead tasks, leading to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), chronic fatigue, and pain. These physical burdens contribute to reduced productivity, increased health risks, and high employee turnover in physically demanding workplaces.
Solution
Archelis provides wearable assistive suits and exoskeletons that support the body during physically demanding work. The original archelis suit attaches to the legs and distributes the wearer's weight across the shins and thighs, reducing strain on the lower body during extended standing tasks. The SUITX exoskeleton line offers two series: the IX series supports posture and the core during prolonged standing and forward-leaning work, while the CX series reduces strain on the wrists, neck, and arms for overhead and repetitive upper-body tasks. A posture analysis app, Pose365, uses ergonomic evaluation methods to automatically score physical load from video, helping companies identify and address risky work postures.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals and medical facilities (particularly surgeons who stand for long procedures), manufacturing and factory workers, logistics and warehouse operators, and veterinary hospitals, along with companies seeking to reduce workplace musculoskeletal injuries and improve worker retention.
Features
- Passive exoskeleton designs that require no motors or batteries, distributing weight mechanically across the body
- IX series for posture and core support during standing and forward-leaning tasks, and CX series for upper-limb strain reduction
- Stabi series with multiple configurations (Half, Full, Twin, Left, Attach) for different support levels and work scenarios
- Fatigue-reducing gel mats and assistive insoles for complementary workplace ergonomics
- Pose365 posture analysis app that applies ergonomic evaluation methods to automatically score body load from video footage
- Deployment across industries including automotive, logistics, furniture retail, aviation, and infrastructure, with documented case studies at MAN, IKEA, and DB Schenker
