The gardening and landscaping industry is characterized by physically demanding activities. Daily lifting, carrying, and working in a bent posture can lead to serious long-term health issues, particularly back and joint problems. The BionicBack Exoskeleton is designed to reduce these strains and help workers perform their tasks more efficiently and with less physical effort. It supports the body during heavy and repetitive tasks, promotes ergonomically correct posture, and thus contributes to the long-term health of employees. By using the BionicBack Exoskeleton, garden and landscaping companies not only protect their employees' health and reduce sick leave but also gain a clear competitive advantage. Especially in times of skilled labor shortages and high turnover, employee satisfaction is a key issue for any company.
