WAILUKU--German Bionic, a leading global robotics company with offices in Boston, Berlin and Tokyo, announced last week it has formed a new partnership with Servco Pacific Inc., a major player in automotive, commercial and industrial distribution, to introduce the innovative German Bionic Apogee and Apogee+ smart, robotic exoskeletons to its customer base in Hawai'i, according to a press release.
The German Bionic Apogee exoskeletons empower workers to better perform physically demanding tasks--such as lifting, bending and repetitive movements--while minimizing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and fatigue-related accidents.
Developed with advanced biomechanical engineering and cutting-edge materials, the German Bionic exoskeletons deliver up to 80 pounds of support per lifting movement, provide active walking assistance to reduce fatigue and improve mobility, and incorporate the AI-driven Smart Safety Companion.
The exoskeleton line-up consists of the Apogee for deployment in industrial environments such as logistics, construction and manufacturing, and the Apogee+, specifically designed for patient mobilization and physical tasks in nursing and other healthcare environments. The smart, fully connected devices seamlessly integrate into existing workflows, delivering immediate benefits to users and organizations alike.
"We are thrilled to partner with Servco to deliver our Apogee exoskeletons to the Hawai'i market," said Armin G. Schmidt, CEO and founder of German Bionic. "This collaboration signifies our shared commitment to revolutionizing workplace safety and mobility through pioneering smart wearables, which already have a tremendous impact on physically demanding jobs and the future of work in general."
This partnership between German Bionic and Servco underscores a shared commitment to innovation, excellence and the well-being of industrial workers. Servco will leverage its deep knowledge and reach within the distribution industry to introduce the Apogee exoskeleton to customers throughout the Hawai'i market.
"We're excited to partner with German Bionic to bring their exoskeletons to team members and businesses that need it," said Thor Toma, SVP of Projects and New Initiatives at Servco Pacific Inc. "This collaboration is more than just a product; it embraces cutting-edge human augmentation technology to enhance the safety and well-being of manual workers, while boosting efficiency and productivity. It is the next frontier for human-centric mobility technologies."
Servco will be hosting demonstrations of the Apogee and Apogee+ at the PBX trade show at the Hawaii Convention Center on Oct. 2, 2024.
