Nova Poshta is testing the use of exoskeletons in operational processes
This is Ukraine's first pilot project involving Hypershell exoskeletons in warehouse operations. Nova Poshta is considering introducing exoskeletons to make work at terminals and depots safer and more efficient, as well as to reduce the physical strain on employees.
As part of the pilot, employees are testing four models of exoskeletons: Hypershell X GO, Hypershell X PRO, Hypershell X CARBON, and Hypershell X ULTRA.
Exoskeletons support employees' movements during repetitive active actions such as squatting, lifting, walking, or turning. They take over up to 30% of the effort normally expended by muscles when walking or moving, making it easier to move around. This makes physical work easier, helps employees maintain a steady pace and reduces fatigue at the end of their shift.
"We want to make work at terminals and depots safer and more comfortable for employees. Therefore, we are systematically reducing the physical load in those operational processes where full automation is currently more difficult to implement. Our goal is to make warehouse operations easier, more stable and more productive. For us, it is important not only how the use of exoskeletons affects the level of fatigue, the stability of the pace of work and the comfort of their use, but also that they are convenient, easy to adapt and safe to use," comments Yevgeniy Khomenko, R&D Director at Nova Poshta.
Based on the results of the pilot analysis and employee feedback, the company will decide on the further use of exoskeletons and the possible scaling of the technology.
