Archelis Exoskeleton Suit Prevents Pain

YOKOHAMA, Japan (Jan. 4, 2020) – At CES 2021 (Jan. 11-14), Archelis
Inc., a Yokohama-based hardware startup, will showcase “archelisFX,”
the exoskeleton suit that protects factory workers against leg and
lower-back strains that can be caused by standing for hours on end.
Made to fit comfortably around one’s legs, “archelisFX” enables
wearers to walk and bend their knees freely and to “sit” (or rest)
anywhere while technically standing – a feature that allows factories
to use the product right away without making any workspace changes.
The suit is also all-mechanical and does not require any electricity
to operate. “archelisFX” is scheduled for a market release in January
2021.

“archelisFX” is the first exoskeleton assist suit on the market that
is focused on reducing the pain, injury, and discomfort of standing
position work on factory employees. The suit provides support to a
wearer’s shins and thighs to keep their trunk stable and have their
weight distributed evenly.

“With back pain being the cause of one in every four medical leaves in
Japan, ‘archelisFX’ is much-needed gear that can help companies
provide a safer work environment for their employees,” Archelis CEO
Hideyuki Fujisawa said. “In Japan, younger generations are known to
stay away from jobs that involve strenuous physical work. We have
received orders for ‘archelisFX’ from many companies that want to use
it as PPE, or personal protective equipment.It’s also a powerful tool
for businesses in both retaining their existing employees and
attracting a quality workforce. The suit can help them accommodate an
aging workforce as well.”
