Industrial exoskeletons, which take on up to 70% of physical load, have been introduced at one of Rosatom's mining division enterprises. The pilot implementation was carried out by Khiagda company, using the devices at one of the most labor-intensive stages of the production process.
Passive exoskeletons appeared in the productive solution processing area, where employees prepare sodium nitrite solutions – an important component of the technological chain. The devices support back and arm muscles during repetitive operations, helping to maintain performance throughout the entire shift.
According to the enterprise, exoskeletons compensate for static and dynamic loads, reducing impact on the spine and joints. This is expected to reduce personnel fatigue, increase concentration, and decrease the likelihood of errors when performing production tasks.
The implementation of such systems is becoming one of the directions for modernizing production sites, where, along with increasing efficiency, more attention is paid to preserving employee health.
