Field Test – Bisko Exoskeleton
As part of our evaluation process under real conditions, the Bisko exoskeleton was tested over a period of 5 consecutive days within a logistics warehouse for order preparation in Île-de-France.
The observed position concerns an operator responsible for picking at ground level and in low shelving, involving an average of 180 bends per day, with loads ranging between 5 and 18 kg.
The working conditions are representative of a standard logistics environment:
- Continuous standing days of 7h30
- Concrete floor
- Frequent movements between aisles
- Repetitive activity with a focus on the lumbar area
This protocol allows for a concrete evaluation of the exoskeleton's impact on:
- reducing the strain associated with repeated bending
- maintaining posture
- fatigue at the end of the day
- acceptability by the operator during prolonged use
Conditions du test
Résultats positifs
- Net reduction in lower back fatigue at the end of the day Feeling of support from the first bends Donning in less than 10 seconds, no discomfort while walking Compatible with existing PPE (vest, safety shoes) Negligible weight (700g), forgotten after 30 minutes The operator spontaneously requested to keep it after the test
Limites observées
- Perceptible but moderate assistance on loads > 15 kg Less effective in prolonged static bent position (> 2 min) The abdominal strap may create slight warmth in summer Does not replace training in movements and postures
Notre conclusion
The Bisko is a credible entry-level solution for picking and light to medium handling positions. Its lightweight design and ease of use make it an exoskeleton that operators easily adopt, with no resistance to change. Ideal for reducing fatigue during full days, it shows its limits with heavy loads where an active exoskeleton would be more suitable. Very interesting value for money for large-scale deployment.
