田纳西州纳什维尔，2025年4月3日——HeroWear是一家专注于职业外骨骼解决方案的私人初创公司，宣布已从风险投资机构White Road Investments获得500万美元的A轮融资，并与Engage合作以加速其与顶级企业的工作进展。HeroWear计划利用这笔资金推动产品开发并扩大团队，继续为不断增长的Apex 2外骨骼安装基础提供高质量的客户服务和现场培训。

Founded in 2019, HeroWear has experienced rapid growth, with the company’s revenue doubling each year while also being recognized on Inc.’s 2024 Best in Business list for innovation and technology. Overexertion can cost workers their health and cost companies billions of dollars each year. The exosuit manufacturer aims to improve the quality of life of workers around the world, helping to reduce fatigue and discomfort through the deployment of occupational exosuits across industries, including logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, food & beverage, retail, and more.

HeroWear成立于2019年，公司经历了快速增长，年收入每年翻倍，并且因其创新和技术被《Inc.》杂志评为2024年度最佳企业之一。过度劳累可能危害工人的健康，并使企业每年损失数十亿美元。这家外骨骼服制造商旨在改善全球工人的生活质量，通过在物流、制造、仓储、食品饮料、零售等多个行业中推广职业用外骨骼服，帮助减轻疲劳和不适。

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently called for OSHA to address overexertion concerns and improve standards around ergonomics to prevent lifelong musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)..

美国政府问责局（GAO）近日呼吁职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）解决过度劳累问题，并改进人体工程学标准，以预防终身性肌肉骨骼疾病（MSDs）。

HeroWear’s Apex 2 exosuit is one of the most scientifically and academically validated on the market. Elastic bands in the exosuit serve as an extra set of back muscles to assist workers who lift and bend repetitively, reducing strain by 20-40%. A recent study of exosuit users through more than 281,000 hours of work shows the exosuit reduced back injuries to zero.

HeroWear的Apex 2外骨骼套装是市场上经过科学和学术验证最多的产品之一。外骨骼中的弹性带充当额外的背部肌肉，帮助从事重复性提举和弯腰工作的员工，减少20-40%的劳损。最近一项针对外骨骼使用者超过281,000小时工作时间的研究表明，该装置将背部受伤率降为零。

Another study uncovered an 8% improvement in worker productivity while workers reported a 30% decrease in work-related discomfort and a 40% reduction in fatigue..

另一项研究发现，员工生产力提高了8%，同时员工报告称工作相关不适感减少了30%，疲劳感降低了40%。
