…their underlying muscles. “The real-world impact of this technology stems from the exosuit's dual function: it not only protects workers from injuries by supporting their bodies during ergonomically risky lifts but also lessens the effort needed for all lifts, including those considered ‘safe,’” said Christopher Buck, head of product at Verve Motion. Verve Motion said its SafeLift exosuits have aided U.S. workers in lifting more than 300 million pounds since the wearable technology debuted in 2020. SafeLift exosuits have been deployed in a wide range of industries, including grocery, package distribution, third party logistics (3PL), retail, supply chain distribution, and…

…back-end software including the central control system. This standard stems from the collaboration between the VDMA, an association of German and European mechanical and plant engineering companies, and the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). Even though German organizations are developing VDA 5050, industry observers expect it to reach widely across Europe and other regions. The two standards have different objectives. VDA 5050 aims to enable AGVs and AMRs from multiple manufacturers to work together using one common fleet management system, while the MassRobotics standard focuses on sharing basic data. Since the VDA 5050 standard and MassRobotics AMR Interoperability…
