This is NOONEE's Chairless Chair, one of the most recognizable applications of exoskeleton technology in modern industry.
Unlike exoskeletons that assist with lifting weights, this system focuses on ergonomics and the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders for workers who must stand for long hours (e.g. on car production lines).
How does the Chairless Chair work?
The exoskeleton is worn as a harness around the legs and waist, but does not hinder walking. The “magic” happens when the worker has to lower or sit down:
Locking Mechanism: With the push of a button, the exoskeleton joints lock at the desired angle, transferring the body's weight directly to the heels of the shoes and the ground.
Variable Height: Does not restrict the user to one position. Can be locked in a half-seat (for working at low height) or a full seat.
Freedom of Movement: Once the user stands up, the mechanism unlocks and they can walk normally to the next workstation.
The Main Benefits for the Employee
Stress Reduction: Relieves strain on the spine, knees and ankles.
Improves Posture: Forces the body to maintain proper posture (“straight back”), reducing back pain.
Flexibility: Eliminates the need for bulky chairs or stools that take up space and impede movement within the factory.
Main Features:
Weight: It is extremely light (usually around 3-4 kilos), as it is made from materials such as carbon fiber reinforced polymers.
Adaptability: Easily adjustable to fit different heights and body types of users.
Where is it applied?
It is ideal for industries where automation cannot fully replace human labor, such as:
Automotive: Assembly of components inside or under the chassis.
Aeronautical Engineering: Work on large aircraft parts.
Packaging/Sorting: In stations where standing is continuous.
