we made the xo0g to deliver power without pain for professionals who work with heavy tools we wanted to take the next step with something more mobile made for smaller hand tools so we created the EXO vest you put the vest on like a backpack then strap in your arms turn on the lift assist and you're ready to go the extra vest uses Springs to lift your arms with 5 to 15 pounds of lift assistance per arm the kicker is it's all mechanical no batteries no cables and it weighs under 10 pounds so you can wear it comfortably all day the EXO vest is perfect for a variety of overhead applications like manufacturing overhead drilling laying pipe and cutting and grinding EXO works is sparking innovative change in the industrial space providing power without pain we can't wait to see what you'll do with it the rising cost of safety due to on-the-job injuries is killing our productivity and that's where the expo works aerial system comes in with the patented zero gravity arm the use of heavy hand tools becomes almost effortless by rendering them weightless we decided to put the xo0g arm to the test to see if it could save time and money on the jobsite by getting the work done faster and protecting the worker from injury and strain we gave the workers two identical drilling and chipping tasks Duane will use traditional methods while ed will be assisted by the xo0g arm we will be monitoring the heart rate time and progress as both workers complete the task the results are impressive the xo0g enabled worker finishes all the tasks while the other worker becomes too exhausted in the process with the assistance of the 0g arm the worker completes the task faster and with significantly less effort and fatigue so what if you could complete your heavy hand tool tasks faster with better accuracy and less injuries now you can with the XO Works aerial mount system we're always around heavy traffic and heavy equipment so not being seen there's a lot of stuff up here they can get

decades masons have created impressive structures around the world structures painstakingly erected with meticulous and long-lasting foundations from the company that brought you Sam they are now revolutionising the way we lift and place block materials construction robotics introduces the mule a new and innovative construction tool designed specifically for the block liang mason and the retaining wall contractor the mule assists the installer by eliminating the weight of the block the mule does not self perform it's an assisting not designed to greatly reduce the stress factors associated with the repetitive heavy lifting while simultaneously increasing productivity and finished quality versatility is one of the mules key factors it can be utilized from the ground scaffold or mast climbing work platforms with a 22 foot arm reach the block can be pulled directly from the shipping pallet to get rid of the pre stock practice due to these benefits the mule has proven to increase productivity by over 400% all while removing the fatigue and physical stressors associated with the constant heavy lifting here are some financial benefits lower per block set costs equal lower bid values equals more jobs one equals more profits your savings on cost per block set in many cases will allow for a six-month or less return on investment including the reduction of injuries and workmen compensation claims the mule allows more experienced block layers to remain productive and healthy longer into their careers it enlists more interest in the younger generation to enter the industry by reducing the inherent fatigue while utilizing the next evolution of technology the mule is designed to bring efficiency and comfort to a grueling work environment the mule it does the

Triax technologies addresses constructions unique safety challenges with wearable sensors that collect and transmit real-time workforce and safety information on most job sites today supervisors have no way of knowing when or where a worker is injured or experiences a safety incident spotter the innovative wearable clip from Triax detects slips trips and falls and sends a real-time alert to site personnel these automatic notifications tell you who when where and what including distance of fall resulting in faster response to help reduce the risk of compounding injuries what happens if a worker has another type of injury or identify as a hazard on site such as loose scaffolding by triggering a push button alert from their spot or clip which acts as a direct lines of supervisors workers can notify them when and where there's a situation that needs to be addressed and how do you effectively and efficiently evacuate a site in an emergency situation with spotter supervisors can trigger an evacuation alarm emitted by each workers device and amplify that notification with an audible and visual spotter evac'd tag placed on each floor and near each exit upon hearing and seeing the alert workers are trained to evacuate to the muster point and spotters dashboard building view enables supervisors to monitor evacuation progress and real-time worker location improved safety and more is possible today with spotters connected jobsite solution
