PAO Severstal, one of the largest vertically integrated
mining and steel companies, acquired 30 exoskeletons
Exorise to improve working conditions and reduce injuries in
production units of the Cherepovets metallurgical plant
(CHerMK). This party exoskeletons will be pilot testing with
the aim of further improvement and replication taking into account feedback.

the Exoskeleton Exorise has an anthropomorphic shape and is configured under the
various physical parameters of the person. It does not hinder movement and does not
restrict the freedom of action, offsetting up to 30% of the load. In addition,
the exoskeleton meets the speed requirements of the equipment, and heat resistance
resistance.

design is a flexible base of increased strength,
corset part, which compensates for the compressive loads on the spine and
corrects the posture, as well as springs and distributed system elastomers for
improving work efficiency when bending and lifting. The exoskeleton offloads
the back muscles due to the return action of springs and elastomer without any
metal springs. Therefore, even if the design is not worn correctly,
it will not harm the operator.

Exoskeletons Exorise developed by the Russian company "Research and development
Bauman" and is designed for any workers engaged in physical labor. They
have been tested in several departments of Cherepovets steel mill,
in particular, in the shop finishing of metal №1, Department of polymeric coatings No. 1 and in
the complex of blast furnace №4. Exoskeletons have received positive feedback
employees, so the company management decided to run them
in a trial operation.

"Severstal" cares about the working conditions of its employees and is committed
to facilitate physical activity where possible. Modern exoskeletons with this
excellent job: wearing it, you can safely work with heavy
tools or with less effort to perform the loading, unloading, and
installation work. We are confident in the prospects for this development and are glad
that advanced technology improves the conditions of human labor," commented
head of the Directorate of MDGs for repairs CHerMK Constantine Gondalas.
