An artificial exoskeleton is a support structure worn on the body that relieves the musculoskeletal system during specific activities. This new posture sling is dedicated to relieving back strain and maintaining good posture, whether in full flexion or standing in a simple trunk flexion.
Thus, whatever the posture, HAPO reduces lumbar effort and preserves the intervertebral discs. Innovative, it partially transfers the efforts of the upper trunk in pectoral support to the thighs with the help of springs. As for the belt, it allows the lumbar vertebrae to be held without restraint. Its activation/deactivation mechanism offers great freedom of movement, such as sitting down, going up or down stairs. Efficient with an assistance power of 14 Kg it is currently the best cost / efficiency ratio in its category.
Prevent and relieve back pain simply by
Low back pain affects 4 out of 5 people and is also caused by difficult positions within the company: manual, repetitive handling, carrying heavy loads, difficult postures under stress, hard physical work.
The HAPO is the result of the expertise of Ergosanté Technologie's design office, which is already at the origin of the multifunctional exoskeleton, the ShivaExo developed in collaboration with the SNCF.
Its innovative design, based on fiberglass, makes HAPO easy to use. You can equip it like a backpack in no time at all. Light and discreet, it weighs barely more than one kg. It is also innovative on the economic aspect since it is marketed at the price of 990€ HT.
Creator of ergonomic solutions
Ergosanté is also recognized for its expertise and skills by the world leader in Exoskeletons, the German company OTTOBOCK. The latter has entrusted it with the distribution of its PAEXO range in order to benefit from the power of Ergosanté's integrated distribution network (12 agencies in France).
Ergosanté's teams of ergonomic solutions consultants now have the most extensive range ofexoskeletons and postural assistants in Europe to date. They can count on a multidisciplinary team of nurses, biomechanics, ergonomists and engineers to assist them in the design of ergonomic solutions for all sectors of the economy. The fight against MSDs should thus enter a new era with Ergosanté. Ergosanté designs and provides tailor-made solutions. Improving the working conditions of both able-bodied and disabled people, by bringing technological innovation to the service of the greatest number of people.
A creator of ergonomic solutions for workstations, the SME Ergosanté launched the manufacture of fabric masks in Anduze in the Gard department on 16 March. On request, the SME delivers them free of charge to its customers, partners and healthcare professionals. The SME has also maintained the release of its back prevention exoskeleton, intended in particular for hyper-stressed logistics professions.
Since March 16th Ergosanté has started the production of fabric masks in Anduze.
Based in Anduze (Gard) and specializing in ergonomic chairs and exoskeletons*, the 80-strong SME Ergosanté has laid off most of its production and sales teams, while the support and research and development departments are teleworking.
"It seemed necessary to me to put our activity on hold, because I don't want to expose our often fragile employees(Ergosanté is an adapted company, editor's note) to the significant risks represented by this virus." To go beyond this, Samuel Corgne, founder of the company in 2013, has also taken an initiative with the help of "six diehard seamstresses. To participate in the collective effort of prevention and protection, we have dedicated our textile manufacturing unit to the manufacture of protective masks, we have all the material on site." These are not standardised masks, simply wool-based masks, "to protect others in case of suspicion. We offer them to our customers, to carers who request them, via the nearest Ergosanté branch.
A production rate of 400 to 500 masks per day has been set up in Anduze since 16 March. The director of Ergosanté thinks he can keep it up "for at least two months". Each order is limited to 10 masks. "We have received orders from all over France," says Samuel Corgne.
After achieving a turnover of 7 million euros in 2019, Ergosanté took part in the "Great Exhibition of Made in France" at the Elysée Palace in mid-January 2020 and inaugurated a 400 m² extension (500,000 euros) in February 2020. "We were in good shape, we're going to take a big hit, but we're not giving up and we're doing what we can to help", notes the manager. The Gard-based SME nevertheless launched its new product on 17 March, the Hapo exoskeleton for back prevention (it relieves the lumbar area by shifting the weight onto the thighs). "The launch was not postponed, to meet the demand of customers in the logistics sector, whose operators will be extremely busy in the coming weeks.
Another textile manufacturer in the neighbouring department of Lozère, the Tuffery jeans workshop in Florac, has also started to manufacture non-standard masks, made of fabric, which are available free of charge in its workshop.
ErgoSanté, a technological player in the social and solidarity economy dedicated to health and well-being at work, is today launching its new physical assistance device, the HAPO, dedicated to relieving back strain . In a context of health crisis, the company is reducing its production capacity to a minimum to protect its employees and is organising itself to continue to produce, under the best safety conditions, devices useful for people who remain mobilised during the crisis, such as operators in the logistics sector.
ErgoSanté launches the HAPO, a posture sling designed for anyone who needs back support and/or for people whose workstation is considered to be a strain on the back.
This exoskeleton-type device is the second to come out of the ErgoSanté innovation laboratory. The first, theexoskeletonShivaExoThe first product to be released in April 2019 wasa multifunctional exoskeleton designed to relieve upper limbs and back from the musculoskeletal stresses of everyday life. The HAPO focuses on back tension: it reduces lumbar stress and preserves the intervertebral discs by redirecting the upper body's efforts towards the thighs thanks to fibreglass springs and an assisting power of up to 14kg. It is particularly suitable for operators in the logistics sector.
Manufactured in Anduze, France, the HAPO, due to its innovative fiberglass design, is a high-performance and more accessible solution (up to five times less expensive) than the devices on the market. Marketed at a price of €990 excluding VAT, the HAPO is available as of this week in the 12 ErgoSanté branches covering metropolitan France.
Samuel Corgne, founder and CEO of ErgoSanté, states Faced with the exceptional situation we are going through, the first measure taken at ErgoSanté was to put the majority of our activities on hold in order to protect our employees. However, we want to remain useful where we can be useful. It was therefore decided not to postpone the launch of HAPO, in order to meet the demand of clients in the Logistics sector, whose operators will be extremely busy in the coming weeks. In addition, we have undertaken to redirect our textile manufacturing unit to the production of protective masks, which we will make available free of charge to caregivers and all our customers and partners. In these difficult times, improving working conditions remains our priority mission.
Brexit oblige, the Gard-based company ErgoSanté, specialising in the design and production of ergonomic equipment for well-being at work, repatriates 80% of its production to its head office in Anduze (30). It is expanding its plant to meet this need and support its growth (+66% in 2019).
ErgoSanté, created in 2013 and based in Anduze in the Gard, designs and distributes ergonomic equipment adapted to the specific needs of companies and their employees. Its ambition: to improve working conditions by reducing the arduousness and facilitating access to work for the most exposed people and in particular people with disabilities.
The company has 65 employees spread between its headquarters in Anduze and 12 agencies throughout France. On 30 January, it announced strong growth (+66%) in its business for the year 2019, bringing its turnover to €7.3 million.
All companies are obliged to have 6% of people with disabilities ," recalls Samuel Corgne, founder and CEO of ErgoSanté, to explain this growth. Even if they are still far from fulfilling these obligations, companies must recruit and therefore adapt workstations and create favourable conditions. The market is therefore developing, and we are structuring our presence in the territory. We are also doing risk prevention with exoskeletons, office chairs, treadmills, etc. »
" With Brexit, industrial subcontracting becomes unmanageable! »
On February 3, Ergo Santé will inaugurate its new 400 m2 and 6 m high storage warehouse (€500,000 investment), allowing its production capacity for ergonomic seats, one of the company's flagship product ranges, to rapidly increase from 3,000 to 10,000 units per year.
This extension of production capacity meets the need to accompany business growth, but also the strategy of integrating production, particularly in the context of Brexit.
Until now, 70% of ErgoSanté's production has been subcontracted to UK partners, enabling it to produce customised ergonomic chairs "under competitive price, delivery and volume conditions ".
We were working with British subcontractors because the know-how, especially at the head office, had somewhat disappeared in France, whereas qualified people could be found in England," explains Samuel Corgne. But the industrial management set up with our subcontractors to ensure customised production was déjà̀ complex, and with Brexit, it became unmanageable. The integration of production at the company's headquarters in Anduze will enable us to increase our industrial performance. We will gradually increase to 80% of our production in Anduze and 20% in England, which we are keeping for reasons of flexibility. »
The company will thus create more than 20 jobs during the year, mostly for workers with disabilities, thus reinforcing its adapted business model. At least 80% of its production currently employs disabled workers.
The exoskeleton market
ErgoSanté's clients include BNP, SNCF, Airbus, Banque de France and La Poste. Given the evolution of the market, Samuel Corgne is betting on a turnover of " at least €10 million" in 2020.
The company should market, from March, a new exoskeleton " simpler, usable by all and which will be sold for less than 1 000 € ".
There are crying needs everywhere ," observes Samuel Corgne. We want to make a new exoskeleton proposal every year. »
The exoskeleton will be sold for less than 1,000 euros. The adapted company has a new 400 m2 building to increase the production capacity.
Invited on January 18th and 19th to exhibit at the Elysée as part of the "Made in France" exhibition, the SME Ergosanté, designer and manufacturer of equipment designed to improve working conditions, is preparing a new exoskeleton. Marketed from March, "it will be sold for less than 1,000 euros, and everyone will be able to wear it," explains Samuel Corgne, manager. A new era of exoskeleton, more pragmatic, less spectacular, is opening up. "The subsidiary Ergosanté Technologie, R & D office, is looking for new ergonomic equipment, specific seats... A manufacturing unit, equipped with a dozen 3D printers, "allows us to make customised equipment, by mixing carbon, kevlar and fibreglass", adds the manager.
Airbus and SNCF as customers
Ergosanté, which currently employs 70 people, has 12 branches in France. Some 40 sales representatives travel throughout the country. Among its customers: Airbus, La Poste, BNP Paribas, Banque de France, SNCF...
The adapted company (80% of employees are disabled), based in Anduze, has just acquired a new 400 m2 building (an investment of 500,000 euros) to increase production capacity.
As a result of Brexit, production, mainly carried out at two production sites in England, will be repatriated to France. Objective: "To increase production from 30% in Anduze and 70% in England to 80% in Anduze and 20% in England, with a doubling of volume every year! ", sums up Samuel Corgne.
Ergosanté achieved sales of 7 million euros in 2019 and should reach 10 million euros this year. The company claims 8,000 post fittings per year, and is starting to export to Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy and Switzerland.
strong growth in business in 2019: +66% to €7.3 million in sales
integration of production in the context of Brexit
creation of more than 20 jobs, mostly for workers with disabilities
Anduze, 30 January 2020 : ErgoSanté, a technological player in the social and solidarity economy dedicated to health and well-being at work, will inaugurate a new 400 m2, 6 m high storage warehouse on 3 February 2020. The production capacity for ergonomic chairs will rapidly increase from 3,000 to 10,000 units per year.
The extension of production capacities for ergonomic seats, one of Ergosanté's flagship product ranges, meets both the need to support the strong growth in activity (+66% of sales under the 2019 brand to €7.3 million) and the integration strategy, particularly in the context of Brexit. Until now, a large part of production was subcontracted to British partners, which Ergosanté had selected for their know-how and adaptability. The decision to fully integrate production at the Anduze site was partly driven by Brexit, which comes into force on 31 January, but is above all part of a strategic plan aimed at supporting growth while preserving product quality and industrial performance.The expansion of capacity will also generate the creation of more than 20 jobs, mostly for disabled workers, since Ergosanté is an adapted company that employs at least 80% disabled workers for its production. For Samuel Corgne, founder and CEO of ErgoSanté, "The industrial management set up with our subcontractors to ensure customised production was already complex. With Brexit, it becomes unmanageable. The integration of production at the company's headquarters in Anduze will enable us to increase our industrial performance. It will also create jobs in the region and strengthen our adapted business model by contributing to the employment of people with disabilities. »

It took a multidisciplinary team three years to design the Shiva Exoexoskeleton, which has been deployed in the rail operator's maintenance workshops since September.
Supporting the working posture with arms up and cervical extension, protecting the lumbar region when bending the trunk, relieving weight with 5 to 15 kg assistance when carrying loads or tools... the Shiva Exoexoskeleton lives up to its name. On the basis of this functional specification drawn up by the SNCF and Ergosanté Technologie in March 2017, which proposes ergonomic solutions to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). It took three years of work to come up with this 6.5 kg multifunctional exoskeleton, which has been on sale at 10 000 euros since the summer of 2019.

One hundred per cent French, the ShivaExoexoskeleton is a physical assistance device, "which allows you to work on the preserved man", stresses Yonnel Giovanelli, in the SNCF's equipment department.
The Shiva-exo exoskeleton was designed with a start-up company based in the Gard, Ergosanté technologies. In a few days, the agents at the technicentre in Varennes-Vauzelles should be able to use this multi-assistance tool which can act on trunk flexion, cervical assistance, arm support in the air or for tool and handling support.
"We've been working on the ShivaExoexoskeleton for three years. How is this device going to help agents in their work? The aim is to develop a human-centred approach. At the tech center, we will determine the situations in which this exoskeleton will help agents. »
Theexoskeleton weighs 6.5 kg, the entire load is on the pelvis. "We've got some ideas on how to improve it. »
The Ergosanté group will be present at the next Preventica trade fair in Marseille on 8, 9 and 10 October.
Do not hesitate to come and see us at Stand C 29, at the main entrance.
On the agenda:

Presentation of the group and our know-how
Exchanges and tests of ergonomic equipment
The company dedicated to health and well-being at work is strengthening the coherence of its approach by adopting the status of Adapted Company. Ergosanté can thus both employ and train more workers with disabilities and offer client companies the possibility of participating in a socially responsible approach while optimising their Agefiph contribution.
Anduze, September 12, 2019: ErgoSanté, a technological player in the social and solidarity economy dedicated to health and well-being at work, obtained on September 6, 2019 the Adapted Company approval from the Regional Directorate of Companies, Competition, Consumption, Labor and Employment (DIRECCTE) of Occitania.
An Adapted Enterprise (AE) welcomes within its workforce people recognised as disabled workers to enable them to carry out a paid professional activity in conditions adapted to their needs. It employs at least 80% of disabled workers in its production workforce.
This approach is part of Ergosanté's strategy to produce a large proportion of its ergonomic seating, which accounts for the majority of its sales, in-house. The company had already started to integrate disabled people into its production department two years ago. The approval of the Adapted Company will allow Ergosanté to reinforce this approach: the company plans to extend its production workshop by 400 m² and to recruit 10 disabled people in the coming year.
Production volumes are expected to increase rapidly, driven by strong growth dynamics as well as by the renewed appeal of the new status to client companies. By choosing Ergosanté, companies will be able to strengthen their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach and reduce their AGEFIPH or FIPHFP contributions according to their turnover, because by buying Ergosanté products they indirectly employ disabled workers.
For Samuel Corgne, founder and director of ErgoSanté, "Ergosanté's raison d'être is to promote access to employment for able-bodied and non-able-bodied people. What could be more logical and natural for us than to start by welcoming people with disabilities into our ranks? The Adapted Company approval will allow our clients to allocate their budget for the employment of disabled people differently and probably work with us more. But for me, this approval is above all a validation of the coherence of our approach and the meaning of our mission.

Presentation by France 3 Alsace of the Shiva Exo exoskeleton developed by Ergosanté Technologie in partnership with Matériel SNCF! 👷♀️👷♂️
The ShivaExo exoskeleton, developed by Ergosanté Technologie in partnership with Matériel SNCF, was on the M6 TV news! 📺👷♀️👷♂️
TheShivaExo exoskeleton is unique both in its design and its features. Designed and produced by ERGOSANTE in our workshops by our own teams. This ShivaExo exoskeleton can therefore be custom-fitted(please contact us).
The ShivaExo is recommended for jobs requiring frequent movement with arms in the air and handling of parts/tools. Systems for compensating for the weight of a tool already exist (tool-holder arms, balancers, etc.), but these systems are fixed in one place or are difficult to mobilize.
As theexoskeleton is worn by the worker, it follows him everywhere, so the worker is continuously assisted without constraints.
