Passive Shoulder-Support Exoskeleton Sourcing Brief
Record type: Sourced to specification. This is a sourcing brief, not an in-stock offer or a claim that one model fits every destination.
Repeated or sustained overhead industrial work evaluated through a controlled workplace ergonomics trial.
Start with the operating requirement
Factories can quote quickly when they receive a product name, but comparable quotations require a shared definition of the job, environment, destination, acceptance method and support boundary.
Specification checklist
| # | Requirement to specify |
|---|---|
| 1 | supported movement and assistance curve |
| 2 | user size/fit range |
| 3 | device weight |

| 5 | don/doff and adjustment time |
| 6 | PPE/tool interaction |
| 7 | soft-goods cleaning |
| 8 | replaceable parts and inspection interval |
Factory and supplier screening
- Confirm the legal company behind the quotation and whether it manufactures the relevant system or trades it.
- Request exact model, revision, component and software details rather than a generic catalogue.
- Separate supplier-provided documents from items whose issuer, model scope or validity has been checked.
- Compare warranty exclusions, escalation path, remote support, spare-parts availability and expected response time.
- Record quotation validity, MOQ, production lead time, Incoterm, packing dimensions and excluded costs.
Proposed acceptance plan
- multi-user fit trial
- representative task cycle
- discomfort and movement-restriction log
- PPE compatibility check
- cleaning and reassembly test
- inspection/training/spares review
