Bologna, Nov. 19
Bologna Fiere is hosting the 34th edition of Ambiente Lavoro from November 19th to the 21st.
The trade show focuses on health and safety in the workplace, issues with respect to which technology can make an important contribution.
In this context, Comau is meeting visitors and showcasing its MATE exoskeleton family at
its booth (Hall 22, Stand C7).
The event is a unique opportunity to discover all of Comau’s innovative wearable robotics solutions: from the MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton, developed to reduce the muscular load on the shoulders during repetitive activities that require keeping the arms raised for long periods of time, to the new MATE-XB model, designed to relieve muscle fatigue in the lumbar area in static positions and when lifting loads from the ground.
Over the course of the three-day expo, industry professionals have the opportunity to understand how to best use Comau exoskeletons and what the benefits are in terms of ergonomics and physical-muscular well-being by personally wearing and testing all MATE devices with the support and advice of the Comau team.
The fair is also an opportunity to delve into issues related to wearable robotics: Andrea Parri, field validation specialist with IUVO (a spin-off of the Institute of Bio Robotics of the Sant’Anna University of Pisa in which Comau holds a majority stake), is one of the speakers at the conference taking place on Tuesday, November 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Melodia Room – Service Center Block B – 1st floor, with a presentation entitled “From validation to guided adoptions: the evolution of validation strategies for occupational exoskeletons in the field.”
During the presentation, Mr. Parri explains and illustrates the way in which Comau, in collaboration with IUVO, has anticipated emerging market needs by spearheading design services to facilitate the insertion of wearable exoskeleton technologies in industrial realities and in doing so helping consolidate their long-term use, thus allowing companies to better capitalize on their return on investment.
These services have also helped define the contents of the new TR 11950 standard on safety and health in the use of occupational exoskeletons and are evolving to accommodate the new needs and challenges posed by the occupational exoskeleton market.
“The demand for wearable robotics and cutting-edge technologies that improve the work of operators and make manufacturing processes more sustainable and safer continues to grow and spread into new markets. Leveraging its experience in the field, evidenced by numerous customers and use cases around the world, Comau is participating in Ambiente Lavoro to present its innovative technologies that are expressly designed for the well-being of workers.”
Duilio Amico, Head of Comau Wearable Robotic.
