Exoskelette sind mechanische Strukturen, die am menschlichen Körper getragen werden, um das Muskel-Skelett-System des Trägers bei bestimmten Bewegungen und Haltungen zu unterstützen. Sie stellen für die Intralogistik eine innovative Technologie dar. Durch verbesserte Ergonomie haben Exoskelette das Potenzial sowohl den gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen einer alternden Arbeitnehmerschaft zu begegnen als auch die Prozesseffizienz zu erhöhen.

Dieses Buch stellt einen praxisorientierten Leitfaden vor, mit dem Unternehmen Exoskelette erfolgreich in der Intralogistik einführen können. Das Vorgehensmodell ist in einen schrittweisen Prozess gegliedert, der Projekte von der ersten Idee bis zur Realisierung unterstützt. Zwei begleitende Fallstudien aus der Möbel- und Beschichtungs-/Lackindustrie zeigen Erfolgsfaktoren und erläutern die praktische Umsetzung anhand von Checklisten.
