GOGOA and PrevenZiona: exoskeletons for OHS at WorkSafe 2025

PREVENZIONA x GOGOA AT WORKSAFE BARCELONA 2025

A few weeks ago, GOGOA, together with our partner PrevenZiona, took part in WorkSafe Barcelona 2025, the benchmark event for prevention, protection, and occupational health. The response was outstanding: highly technical conversations and a clear focus on real-world deployment at scale. We are grateful to all those who visited us and shared their operational challenges.

Our value proposition

Industrial prevention exoskeletons (GOGOA / Cyber Human Systems)

• Ergonomic assistance for overhead work, light-to-moderate load handling and sustained postures (shoulders, neck, lumbar region).

• Objective: reduction of MSD risk and fatigue in repetitive or static tasks, without compromising productivity.

Integrated PPE solutions (PrevenZiona)

• Selection, fit, and implementation plans grounded in risk assessment.

• Innovations in hand, head and respiratory protection, fall from height, and chemical protection, with sector-specific focus.

Methodology & ongoing support

• Integration with ergonomic assessments, pre–post protocols, performance indicators, and a roadmap for scaling beyond pilot.

Market trends observed

1. From pilot to rolloutGrowing demand for clear criteria to select use-cases and to govern change across sites.

2. Decisions grounded in dataStrong interest in objective metrics (time in awkward postures, perceived exertion, usage rates, absenteeism).

3. Prevention as competitive advantageErgonomics programmes geared towards sustainable operations and employer branding.

Our methodological approach: from assessment to outcome

1. Job analysis: In-situ observation; task characterisation (frequency/duration), loads, working heights and critical postures.

2. Controlled pilot (typically 4–8 weeks): Training, individual fitting, safe-use checklists, and pre–post measurement:

   • Ergonomics: % reduction in time with shoulder elevation >60°, sustained lumbar flexion.

   • People: perceived exertion (Borg), reported discomfort, adoption rate.

   • Operations: output stability and quality integrity.

3. Scale-up and standardisation: Procedures, eligibility criteria by workstation, maintenance and hygiene, and a dashboard with quarterly reviews.

4. Continuous improvement: Technical and ergonomic support, micro-adjustments to process, PPE compatibility and task rotation.

Sectors and use-cases generating the greatest interest

• Automotive & Tier-1: overhead fastening and assembly, inspection above shoulder height.

• Logistics: picking at lower/mid levels with repetitive flexion.

• Food & beverage: replenishment and sustained-rhythm operations.

• Maintenance & facility services: cabling, luminaires, ducting and overhead supports.

Key questions and our position

Do exoskeletons replace other control measures?

No. Exoskeletons are a complement within the hierarchy of controls. Engineering and organisational measures are prioritised; where these are not feasible or sufficient, exoskeletons provide effective mitigation of exertion.

How do you ensure workforce adoption?

Early engagement with teams, on-shift trials, individual fitting, concise training, PPE compatibility, and follow-up. The felt benefit is decisive for adherence.

What about maintenance and hygiene?

Low maintenance: routine cleaning, visual checks, replacement of wear parts, and protocols tailored to sector requirements.

The GOGOA + PrevenZiona advantage

• Rigorous use-case selection: we deploy when it truly adds value; if not, we advise against it with clear technical criteria.

• Reduced learning curve: fitting, training, and on-site support to accelerate adoption.

• Measured impact: ergonomic, health, and operational KPIs with traceability for decision-making.

• Programme sustainability: operational standardisation and continuous improvement aligned with business objectives.

Thank you
