Creating a future together with our customers - The development of Activelink's Power Assist Suit

Japan is facing an aging society, and shortage of labor is going to become a real problem.
Panasonic's venture company, Activelink Co., Ltd. was established in 2003 with the desire to contribute to society by removing barriers between people with and without physical power. Since then, it has developed a wide range of Power Assist Suits in hopes of lightening the load at work sites. In 2016, a camera crew visited the development site of the Power Assist Suit. Please take a look at the challenge Activelink has undertaken to develop products from users' perspective and to create new value in partnership with one of its customers, a logistics company.
