About us
HUNIC GmbH – Dynamic Ergonomics for the Workplace of Tomorrow
HUNIC GmbH is an innovative German company based in Baiersbronn, specializing in the development, distribution, and integration of intelligent exoskeleton solutions for industry, skilled trades, logistics, and healthcare. Our mission is to sustainably reduce physical strain in demanding work environments, maintain long-term work ability, and help companies balance employee health, productivity, and economic efficiency.
At the core of our portfolio are passive exoskeletons (“Actuskeletons”) from the SoftExo and CareExo product lines, specifically designed for real-world working conditions. These systems support employees during lifting, holding, and carrying tasks, reduce peak loads, and preserve natural freedom of movement. All solutions consistently follow the principle of dynamic ergonomics: providing support exactly when it is needed—adapted to the individual, the task, and the working environment.
HUNIC is not only a product manufacturer but a holistic solution partner. From initial ergonomic assessments and structured test deployments to training and seamless integration into daily operations, we support our customers in a practical and structured manner. With HUNICxperience, we offer scalable test packages that allow companies to evaluate exoskeletons under real working conditions—transparent, application-oriented, and decision-relevant.
A particular focus lies on the ergonomics of manual tasks, targeted power assistance, and physical relief. HUNIC’s exoskeleton solutions are designed to reduce physical strain, minimize fatigue, and sustainably support employees during repetitive or physically demanding activities.
Our customers range from medium-sized enterprises to large corporations facing similar challenges: skilled labor shortages, increasing absenteeism, ergonomic risks, and the demand for future-proof workplaces. HUNIC addresses these challenges with technical expertise, strong practical orientation, and a clear understanding of economic and organizational requirements.
HUNIC stands for:
proven exoskeleton solutions
ergonomic power assistance for manual tasks
measurable physical relief in daily work
structured testing and implementation processes
high user acceptance
sustainable investment in people
HUNIC – because ergonomics is more than comfort. It is a productivity factor.
Products & services
SoftExo Carry
SoftExo Carry – Ergonomic Support for Carrying and Walking Tasks The SoftExo Carry is an ergonomic exoskeleton designed to provide targeted support during carrying tasks and repetitive walking movements, commonly found in logistics, industrial, skilled trade, and internal transport operations. It was developed for work situations where loads are carried over short or longer distances, placing continuous strain on the back, hips, and legs. The SoftExo Carry supports load distribution while carrying, reducing muscular strain in the back and hip areas. At the same time, it promotes a stable, upright posture during walking and carrying tasks—without restricting natural movement patterns. Thanks to its lightweight, textile-based design, the SoftExo Carry offers high wearing comfort and is ideally suited for dynamic workflows with frequent changes of position. It is quick to put on and take off and integrates seamlessly into existing work processes. Key benefits: ergonomic relief during carrying and walking tasks reduced strain on back, hips, and leg muscles support for a stable, upright posture high freedom of movement for dynamic activities fast deployment and high user acceptance The SoftExo Carry helps companies sustainably reduce physical strain in transport and carrying tasks while supporting long-term employee performance.
SoftExo Hold exoskeleton
SoftExo Hold – Ergonomic Support for Static and Forward-Bending Tasks The SoftExo Hold is an ergonomic exoskeleton designed to provide targeted support during forward-bending, predominantly standing, and static work tasks, commonly found in assembly, manufacturing, and service environments. It was developed specifically for situations where employees are required to work in constrained postures for extended periods of time. The SoftExo Hold supports the upper body in maintaining an ergonomically optimized posture, reducing strain on the back and core muscles. By providing controlled support, it helps minimize fatigue and promotes a more balanced load distribution—without restricting mobility during work processes. Its lightweight, textile-based design allows the SoftExo Hold to integrate seamlessly into daily operations. The system is easy to put on and take off, suitable for changing tasks, and achieves high user acceptance. Key benefits: ergonomic support for forward-bending and static work tasks relief for back and core muscles guidance of the upper body into an ergonomic posture reduced fatigue during prolonged standing and assembly work high freedom of movement and wearing comfort The SoftExo Hold helps companies sustainably reduce ergonomic risks in assembly and constrained-posture tasks while supporting long-term employee performance.
SoftExo Lift exoskeleton
SoftExo Lift – Dynamic Power Assistance for Manual Lifting Tasks The SoftExo Lift is an ergonomic exoskeleton designed to provide targeted support during manual lifting, holding, and carrying tasks. It was developed specifically for industrial, skilled trade, and logistics environments where repetitive movements place strain on the back, shoulders, and hips. With its dynamic power assistance, the SoftExo Lift reduces peak loads during lifting and lowering movements while preserving natural freedom of motion. Support is provided only when needed and adapts seamlessly to the user’s movement patterns. Its lightweight, textile-based design ensures high wearing comfort and fast user acceptance in daily operations. The SoftExo Lift can be worn under or over workwear and is suitable for changing tasks as well as different body sizes. Key benefits: ergonomic relief for lifting, holding, and carrying tasks reduction of back and muscle strain dynamic, movement-based power assistance high freedom of movement and comfort easy integration into existing workflows The SoftExo Lift helps companies sustainably reduce physical strain and support long-term employee performance in physically demanding work environments.
