About Muscle Suit Every

The Muscle Suit Every is an exoskeleton designed to reduce the strain on the lower back during tasks such as maintaining a half-crouched posture or lifting heavy objects. With a maximum assisting force of 25.5kgf, it weighs only 3.8kg, making it lightweight. Operating without electricity, it utilizes pneumatic artificial muscles to provide assistance, making it suitable for various work environments, including manufacturing, agriculture, caregiving, logistics, and construction.

As of April 2024, the Muscle Suit (R) series has surpassed a cumulative shipment of 30,000 units worldwide. It holds a world record* of the highest global shipment volume for exoskeleton-type assistive suits using artificial muscles (*according to Innophys’ research).

By incorporating the assistive technology of artificial muscles developed in the Muscle Suit (R) series into the back of the supporter, it achieves top-tier assistance in the supporter category.

Additionally, with a small contact area on the body, it makes its user feel less warm, allowing for comfortable wear even in summer. The support can be easily toggled on and off using the shoulder buckle, making it suitable for driving while wearing. The fatigue is minimal even when worn continuously all day long.

This is part of the company’s marketing of the MUSCLE SUIT (R) series overseas, particularly its sales promotion in the European Union (EU) member countries.

Innophys, headquartered in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, regards Germany as a key market in the EU for MUSCLE SUIT Every. This is because there are many major exoskeleton work-assisting suit manufacturers in the country where the general public is highly aware of the need for workers to wear work-assisting suits from the viewpoint of protecting their safety.

Innophys has received many inquiries from businesses in Germany about products in its MUSCLE SUIT (R) series. Innophys has signed a contract with a local company as a sales agent largely because it tried MUSCLE SUIT (R) at the Hannover Messe exhibition held in May and confirmed its effectiveness.

Innophys is determined to focus particularly on selling MUSCLE SUIT Every to manufacturers in Germany, and accelerate its business activities in the EU countries.

The Tokyo-based company has placed the product on the French and Spanish markets as part of its efforts to promote the sale of the MUSCLE SUIT series overseas. Innophys believes that demand for the product will continue expanding throughout the world because they are based on its mission to ensure that people lead self-reliant lives.

The company assumes that potential demand for work-assisting suits is relatively strong in the European Union (EU) member countries as awareness of the need to protect workers is high in the region.

Demand for nursing care is expected to grow in France and Spain where the aging of the working population -- particularly in the manufacturing, logistics and farming sectors -- has been accelerating in recent years along with the graying of their entire population. In particular, Innophys sees potentially strong demand for its product in the agricultural industry in France, known as the EU’s largest farming state.

Under these circumstances, Innophys has partnered with local sales agents to market the product in France and Spain.

About MUSCLE SUIT Every:
MUSCLE SUIT Every is a wearable work-assisting robotic suit developed by Innophys Co., Ltd., a venture company that originated in Tokyo University of Science. The robotic exoskeleton suit uses pneumatic artificial muscle to assist movements, such as lifting up heavy items or a person and maintaining a half-crouching position, with up to 25.5kgf of assistive force to lighten the load on the backs. MUSCLE SUIT Every is excellent in that it can be used for jobs outdoors or with water because the machine does not need electric power. Since it was released in 2014, MUSCLE SUIT Every has been in widespread use at nursing care, farming, manufacturing, distribution and construction sites, and in other labor-intensive activities. By the end of June 2020, MUSCLE SUIT Every has sold over 13,000 units.

The latest model of MUSCLE SUIT Every, which was placed on the market in Japan in November 2019, is the lightest of all MUSCLE SUIT models, at only 3.8 kilograms, while maintaining its capacity to provide auxiliary force up to 25.5kgf. The price of the latest model has been reduced to below 30% of its past models, making it easier for not only corporate customers to introduce the robot for use at work sites but also individual customers to buy the machine to provide nursing care for their elderly family members or grow vegetables at home, among other purposes.

As part of its overseas expansion, the company began to sell MUSCLE SUIT Every in Taiwan this past summer, making it easier for both corporate and individual customers in the region to buy the robotic suit.
