摘要

Demographic shifts, extended working lives, and growing demand for quality and productivity heighten companies’ need to support their workforce. Exoskeletons, as a new technology, offer potential ergonomic benefits but face challenges such as limited system acceptance, experience, and application knowledge, requiring proper training for occupational use. This article presents a training program for companies considering integrating exoskeletons. The program consolidates insights to transfer knowledge, equip decision-makers with essential skills, and foster experience exchange across industries. It comprises four modules, from analyzing ergonomics and manual work settings to implementing and evaluating exoskeletons in practice. Positive feedback from 63 participants across 26 companies highlighted the program’s relevance and suitability. The program contributes to learning environments by translating research into practical training, helping companies foster innovation and operational excellence.
