1. An industrial SME committed to serving its customers
Salleroy is a French leader in the distribution of adhesives for packaging.
A human-sized company based in Center-Val-de-Loire, it has 15 employees and has 25 years of expertise. Specializing in the sale of industrial adhesives and the maintenance of gluing machines, it supports more than 800 customers in various sectors.
Quality of Life at Work at the heart of corporate strategy
At Salleroy, Quality of Life at Work (QWL) is a priority. Each employee is listened to individually in order to identify their specific needs and adapt working conditions.
This proactive approach has led the company to seek concrete solutions to reduce risks of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), particularly backbones, linked to handling activities.
Handling: a persistent problem of difficulty
Despite workstation arrangements already in place, the manual handling of glue containers remained a major source of difficulty for the logistics team.
Under the impetus of Jean-Charles Ramos, director of Salleroy, the integration of an exoskeleton emerged as a relevant response to strengthen the risk prevention and improve the well-being of operators.
2. The integration of the Japet exoskeleton: an operational choice
Japet.W+ exoskeleton that relieves back pain, was selected for its compactness and ease of use.
Shared by two users at logistics stations on the Droué-sur-Drouette warehouse, it was quickly acclaimed by employees, especially compared to other systems considered more cumbersome.
Everyday measurable benefits
The use of the exoskeleton has transformed the perception of handling tasks.
Operators note:
- a significant reduction in fatigue,
- an increased sense of security during movements,
- an absence of pain reported at home.
The exoskeleton integration was accompanied by structured monitoring, facilitating the sustainable integration of the tool into daily practices.
A tool at the service of a sustainable culture of prevention
This initiative is part of the continuity of Salleroy's corporate culture, marked by a constant commitment to the health of its employees.
Users recommend making it a systematic reflex for the tasks concerned, thus optimizing the efficiency and fluidity of activities.
The Japet exoskeleton is now perceived as much more than a work tool: it symbolizes the concrete commitment of management to the prevention of occupational risks and the sustainability of teams.
