How good

is my exoskeleton?

The InteX Benchmarking Service is directed to exoskeleton providers, manufacturers and distributors who desire to have an objective exoskeleton assessment in an ecosystem where exoskeleton related regulation and norms still have to be formalized.

Our services helps you to understand “How good is my exoskeleton?  How can I improve my exoskeleton?”.

You will benefit from the data of multiple robotic wearables tests in different workplaces and industries to benchmark your products and prioritize improvements based on the best results offered to the market and the perception of the end user.

InteX will evaluate your exoskeleton for various tasks as well as compare it with different exoskeletons if wished.

Our evaluation services are always custom-tailored and will be carried out over our testbeds whether in the InteX labs or in our mobile lab within a 1-2 week short time frame.

We really appreciate your feedback!

We are conducting a research to understand better your needs and expectation from our products & services. Please take the survey about Exoskeleton Usage and Related Needs.

Manufacturer

Thanks to InteX you will obtain better products and easier penetration for your wearables due to increased acceptance and reduced testing time for your customers.

With InteX, you will
  • Incorporate from the very beginning measurable tests of usability, effectiveness and reliability that are fully focused on the activities and operators of the clients end user’s needs.
  • Have standardised metrics that gives you empirical guidance on whether your results are good enough to be accepted by the end user’s.
  • Adapt as best possible the specific needs of each activity in the critical workstations of your clients by designing your products completely focused on their specific activities, but without hindering the work routine of the operators in their work spot.
  • Accelerate the development of your product since you will have a series of essential tests, that helps you to improve your results and to be closer to the manufacturing industry
  • Focus your R&D efforts on those metrics that are below the market average, since InteX has enough data to compare devices from different manufacturers homogeneously and empirically
  • Replace partially or completely the task of lending equipment for weeks, waiting for potential customers to dedicate people and production lines to test the product in situ.
  • Offer personal training to your customers inside or outside the company’s facilities[MDG1]

To sum up, you will be able on one side, increase your market share by providing valid, scientifically evidenced data (ergonomics, productivity, safety), and on the other side reduce the time to market of your devices, accelerating sales by improving the design of your products to increase their acceptability by users and giving your customers greater confidence in the performance they are looking for.

Finally, you also will reduce the testing time in house of your client, while at the same time show and quantify scientifically the results of the performance of the wearable.

Dealer Distributor

Exoskeleton manufacturers market their products either through direct sales or through distributors that usually try to offer as many brands as possible, as probably do you.

With InteX, you will:
  • offer and test directly the best solution among your robotic wearables’ portfolio according to customer specific requirements.
  • present reliable empirical, science-based and aseptic information about the performance your customers can expect to achieve from their investment in exoskeleton technologies, which additionally bolsters their confidence and acceptance of the your products.
  • perform the tests by yourself in your own facilities with the result that your customers need less time for testing and above all they don’t need to stop their production lines. Consequently, the time to close a sale is reduced while the market penetration of robotic wearables is increased.
  • select the best option for your client from your portfolio or customize products for different work spots of your customers by offering clear and reliable performance indicators of your products such as usability for specific work spot, for a specific group of people, effectiveness in reducing potential musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) or the growth of productivity.
  • raise awareness of what an exoskeleton is and how it should be used when an InteX Training Service is offered, too, thus lowering barriers to the uptake of your products.
