Verve Motion introduced Verve Logic, a software and data analytics platform that seamlessly integrates into its wearable robotics SafeLift exosuit to pinpoint critical areas that pose injury risks to industrial workers as they work.
“The SafeLift exosuit development was informed through extended testing of human subjects where we collected biomechanics data in a lab environment to understand how an individual moves, and how much back offloading the suit provides,” says Conor Walsh, scientific co-founder Verve Motion. “It is exciting now that Verve Motion is making this same type of data available to workers and their organizations through Verve Logic so they can understand injury risk reduction and optimize the use of SafeLift for their operations.”
“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.’ As a result, workers can return home to their families unharmed and with enough energy to enjoy their lives outside of work,” says Christopher Buck, head of product at Verve Motion.
Key takeaways:
- The SafeLift exosuit is said to be the world’s first soft exosuit that offers tailored, adaptive assistance customized for each worker and task. This lightweight wearable solution combines real-time motion sensing with robotic assistance.
- Now available as a standard feature with the SafeLift exosuit, the Verve Logic platform delivers a sophisticated suite of actionable reports and insights, honing in on vital aspects such as ergonomic risk analysis, trend analysis and exosuit utilization.
- Sensors embedded in the SafeLift exosuit collect 3D motion and force data while the suit is in use to help drive safety and operational improvements. The Verve Logic platform goes beyond traditional data gathering, to offer comprehensive insights, including key analytics such as lift count, usage duration, and weight offloaded.
- Verve Logic further enhances performance with safety reports that provide on-site safety trainers and leadership with clear, actionable insights related to safety. Individualized worker reports offer tailored coaching and feedback, contributing to overall team improvement.
- Verve Logic also offers a customized tool that allows on-site safety teams to pinpoint groups at greater risk of injury through analysis of factors such as job roles, shifts, and experience levels.
