The SafeLift infrastructure consists of three modules: a help console, locker storage for the exosuits, and a battery charging station. These modules keep your exosuits secure, charged, and ready for the workers who do the heavy lifting.
This system allows for scalability and flexibility based on the size of your team and the number of exosuits needed at your facility. Whether you have 5 or 500 exosuits deployed, the system can be configured to easily meet your facility's needs.
The Help Console module houses the onsite support tablet, a dedicated resource for exosuit users to contact Verve Motion support or to reference help documents.
The console also provides storage for a dedicated internet gateway, as well as other Verve Motion networking equipment that uploads the safety and operational data from the exosuits to the Verve Logic platform.

Only one of these modules is typically needed per installment. It combines with the other modules (lockers, and a battery charging module) to form the full system.
Every locker module consists of 5 unit bays designed to store a SafeLift exosuit.
Each bay contains a dedicated USB cable, which plugs into the exosuit to download its safety and operational data for upload to the Verve Logic platform.
Multiple locker modules can gang together based on the number of exosuits deployed.
Each SafeLift exosuit requires a minimum of 2 Li-ion batteries to operate, which provide up to 12 hours of power for the user. These batteries, when not in use, are stored and charged in this module.
A charger for 2 Li-ion batteries is housed in each block of the module.
The battery charging module comes in three different sizes and configurations, corresponding to the number of exosuits it will support: 5, 10, and 25 units, respectively.
Each version has extra space for additional chargers – for example, the 5-unit battery charging module has space for 6 chargers, so you’ll always have a spare set of batteries. The size and number of battery charging stations that is best for your facility will depend on the size of your exosuit deployment.
When bringing the SafeLift exosuit solution to your facility, the size of deployment and makeup of the infrastructure system is determined by the number of exosuits purchased. Since the exosuits run on Li-ion batteries, it’s necessary to make sure the proper number of 20 Amp power drops are installed and available for the battery charging module(s). This number will change depending on the size of the deployment. Specifics can be found on our Infrastructure Spec Sheet.
Once power drop installation/availability has been confirmed, the Verve Motion operations team works the facility to schedule delivery and installation of the infrastructure modules. The modules arrive assembled, and as long as the site is prepped and ready, installation is as simple as:
Installation typically takes less than a day. For a smaller deployment of 5-10 exosuits, it can usually be completed within a couple hours.
Because of the modular design of the system, it's easy to add or remove components based on the number of exosuits in use.
Some customers choose to start out with a pilot of 10-25 exosuits, before expanding. For example, an expansion from 10 to 50 exosuits would only require 8 additional locker modules (with 5 exosuits per module), and two 25-unit battery charging stations. One to replace the 10-unit battery charging station, plus another to cover the battery needs of the expanded 50-exosuits.
5-exosuit deployment. An additional battery charging station is included for Active Cooling,
a powered add-on to the SafeLift exosuit.
15-exosuit deployment.
100-exosuit deployment.
The SafeLift infrastructure provides a scalable, easily deployable solution to storing, charging, and downloading safety and operational data from exosuits. The modular design is easy to configure to fit inside your facility.
