Volkswagen Slovakia is testing exoskeletons for production staff
Volkswagen Slovakia (VW SK) tested in Bratislava plant new technology that improves the ergonomics in the workplace.
Takzvaný „chairless chair‘‘ (bezstoličková stolička) je inteligentnou high-tech konštrukciou, ktoré je druhým párom končatín. Zariadenie znižuje napätie v kolenách a členkoch a zlepšuje postoj.
Vonkajšie podporné štruktúry, pripomínajúce moderné exoskeletony zo sci-fi filmov, umožňujú pracovníkom sadnúť si aj bez použitia stoličky. Prístroj napomáha vždy, keď to jeho používateľ potrebuje. Namiesto státia pri niektorých montážnych operáciách, môže s pomocou exoskeletonu sedieť. Ten je opaskom upevnený na páse, kolenách a členkoch.

Hydraulicky ho je možné nastavovať podľa postavy človeka a požadovanej pozície na sedenie. Podporné konštrukcie sú z plastickej hmoty posilnenej karbónovými vláknami.
„Volkswagen Slovakia je známy na jednej strane atraktívnym finančným ohodnotením a širokým sociálnym programom, aj pre kvalitné pracovné podmienky zamestnancov. Na pracoviskách neustále zlepšujeme ergonómiu, prinášame inovatívne riešenia a zlepšujeme našim zamestnancom pracovné prostredie. Možnosti nasadenia tohto exoskeletonu vidíme najmä pri montážnych operáciách,“ uviedol Eric Reuting, člen predstavenstva pre personálnu oblasť VW SK.
Aktuálne VW SK testuje so zamestnancami prototyp exoskeletonov v montáži vozidiel a vo výrobe prevodoviek. Prototyp, ktorý pochádza od švajčiarskej start-up spoločnosti, sa bude na základe pripomienok zamestnancov upravovať. Prvé nasadenie exoskeletonov vo výrobe by mohlo prebehnúť už v budúcom roku.
