German Bionic will present new, AI-powered smart wearable gadgets at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 that aim to transform workplace safety in physically tolling industries, according to the company's press release.

The new power suits include Apogee, the lightest and most adaptable AI-powered suit from the company. The Smart SafetyVest will also be showcased, which is minted to bring ergonomic protection and monitoring for workers,

Lastly, the German Bionic IO will grace the event showcasing its cloud-based software capabilities such as analyzing workplace safety practices and ergonomics.

The Cray X exoskeleton, winner of the CES 2023 "Best of Innovation" (Wearable Technologies) Award, will also be on display and available for demonstrations. 

CES attendees can find German Bionic at exhibit 7141 at Tech East, West Hall, from January 5 to 8, 2023.

All About Apogee

The next-generation smart robotic wearable tool from German Bionic features an eye-catching design and AI support through the Apogee. It expands the range of applications that is lighter and more comfortable than its predecessors.

The dust and water-resistant tool increase workplace safety by supporting the lower back with up to 66 lbs (30 kg) of weight per lifting motion and reduces fatigue with an active walking aid.

Apogee is ideal for heavy lifting and carrying, especially in the industries of care, construction, logistics, and many more.

The Smart SafetyVest

The Smart SafetyVest combines cutting-edge sensing capabilities with AI  to instantly give data-based, individualized ergonomic insights, assessments, and suggested actions, according to German Bionic.

No matter what kind of work is done, the company claims that it can identify ergonomic risks and improvement possibilities to reduce fatigue and injuries within the workplace. 

German Bionic IO

The company hails the German Bionic IO platform as a "groundbreaking" cloud-based tool.  It renders occupational health and safety visible as well as quantifiable.

With the help of the wearer's actions, the system continuously learns and improves safety efficiency by analyzing data from Apogee, Cray X, and Smart SafetyVest.

The German Bionic IO platform offers thorough monitoring and reporting features as well as customized action suggestions through the Smart Safety Companion early warning system for ergonomics.

Address Labor Shortages and Musculoskeletal Disorders

The power suits aim to address labor shortages and musculoskeletal disorders among workers.

German Bionic claims that these wearables are revolutionary in the safety of the workplace for physically demanding occupations. They are designed to ensure that work is safer, less taxing, and more appealing to employees while also increasing productivity. 

"Our smart power suits and wearables protect people performing tough physical work on a daily basis in system-critical jobs against over-exertion and injury," Armin G. Schmidt, CEO, and co-founder of German Bionic said in a statement.

"They provide mechanical support for lifting and carrying, and use a smart assistance system to alert users, for example, of instances of incorrect lifting or when they should take a break."
