We now enter into agreements with experienced organizations that with the help of their vast networks will be great partners when marketing the all-new Ironhand® on their respective markets.”
Patrick Cheppe, CEO EUROPE TECHNOLOGIES, commented: “As a recognized leader of exoskeletons promotion and distribution in France for a broad set of industry segments, we are carefully selecting the best and most mature product solutions in order to provide our end-customers with a broad portfolio. We are proud to become a strong partner of Bioservo as we are convinced of the added value and benefits of the all-new Ironhand®.
Bioservo has previously entered an exclusive agreement in France with Loxam for renting out the all-new Ironhand®. This rental scheme was launched primarily to Eiffage and will be available throughout France for other companies from all industries and sectors.
Discussions are ongoing with distributors for additional markets and additional agreements are expected during 2019.
About Ironhand®
Bioservo’s soft robotic muscle strengthening system Ironhand® comprises a lightweight glove with a portable power pack worn like a backpack. Ironhand® can add up to 80 N to the wearer’s grip within milliseconds. In addition to that, it is equipped with smart data capabilities which makes it possible to digitalize ergonomic risk assessment as well as provide an adaptive performance to the operator over time. At the same time as it supports the wearer, it collects and analyzes data making it possible to evaluate and identify grip intense use cases that run a high ergonomic risk. The wearer is in full control of the system which helps to create a healthy and sustainable work environment.
