December 4, 2024. Because Actemium cares about the health of its colleagues, the company has begun extensive testing and the introduction of exoskeletons on construction sites. The Actemium exoskeletons provide up to 40% relief from heavy physical work and are a further step towards the “future of construction site work”.

New Work – Many people think of office workers who sit in front of a computer all day. But what about those who work physically?
Most Actemium employees perform strenuous physical work on construction sites. Their health is important to us, so we are constantly looking for ways to make their work easier.
In Germany, we recently experimented with exoskeletons. What sounds futuristic is already a reality, and our employees are thrilled.
Elke, an electronics technician at Actemium in Hamburg, reports how the unusual-looking wearable devices were introduced on Safety Day.
“Since I’ve been working with an exoskeleton, my back no longer gets tired so quickly,” she says enthusiastically.
Actemium employees currently use three types of exoskeletons:
Exoskeletons have made significant progress in recent years and offer a variety of solutions for different applications. They are increasingly being used in industrial environments to reduce physical strain on workers and improve safety and efficiency. Actemium is working together with a distributor.
“When I first heard about the exoskeleton project, I thought: ‘Oh God, look at how big this thing is’,” comments Dennis, a colleague of Elke. “What surprised me most was that it was so simple and easy to wear despite its size.”
Oleg, an electrician who installs heavy lighting fixtures, among other things, uses one of the active exoskeletons with spring supports for the arms. “It has made my work much easier, especially when working overhead and drilling – I can just keep drilling without stopping, even upside down. It feels so light.”
Workers like Krzysztof, an electrician in the Hamburg business unit who suffered from chronic back pain, find relief with passive exoskeletons.
“I used to have a lot of problems with my back,” he says. “Now I have the exoskeleton, which gives me a lot of support. I’m no longer so tired after work,” he adds with a smile. “DziÄ™kujÄ™, Actemium (thank you, Actemium).”
