“This Project is in final testing phase to be completed by December before exoskeleton devices are integrated into production process in Barcelona early next year. The exoskeletons utilised by Nissan can reduce stress placed on muscles by up to 60% and improve overall line worker wellbeing. The external exoskeleton devices help reduce stresses placed on the muscles of line workers, lowering the risk of work-related injuries and enhancing overall wellbeing” - Dave

“As Nissan prepares to build a new generation of electrified, intelligent and connected cars, the company is making a series of investments to upgrade its production technologies and facilities.These investments in automation and robotics might suggest that the factory of the future will be the exclusive domain of machines, not people. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth: manufacturing is as reliant on human beings as ever, and technology will serve to enhance their work.” - Dave
