Industrial and logistics jobs are undergoing rapid transformation. Rising production volumes, record e-commerce demand, tighter delivery expectations, and increasing process complexity are pushing workers and operations harder than ever before. At the same time, the availability of skilled manual labor is shrinking, absenteeism is rising, and musculoskeletal injuries continue to be one of the most persistent challenges in both logistics and manufacturing.

In this landscape, companies face a clear challenge:
How do you protect workers, maintain productivity, and ensure long-term operational stability in an environment built on physically demanding tasks?

Exoskeletons have emerged as one of the most promising answers. What was once a futuristic concept is now a practical, widely tested and rapidly adopted ergonomic solution that helps workers perform physically intensive tasks more safely, more efficiently, and with significantly less strain.

Importantly, exoskeletons are not about replacing people. They are about augmenting human capability, supporting healthy movement patterns, reducing injury risks, and making industrial work more sustainable for both workers and organizations.

Why Exoskeletons Matter Today

The rise of exoskeletons is driven by several powerful industry-wide trends.

Declining workforce availability

Warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics are facing chronic labor shortages. Fewer people are willing or able to perform physically demanding roles long term, and competition for reliable workers is intense. Companies increasingly need ways to protect and retain the talent they have.

Increase in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)

Injuries resulting from repetitive lifting, bending, twisting and overhead work remain one of the biggest causes of absenteeism and long-term health complications. Research shows that repetitive movements and improper lifting patterns are among the most common contributors to MSDs.

Pressure to increase productivity

With rising operational demands and tighter deadlines, companies must process more work with fewer people. The ability to support workers physically without slowing down operations becomes essential for maintaining throughput and consistency.

Growing focus on ergonomics and employee well-being

Modern organizations understand that ergonomics is not only about compliance. It is a strategic advantage. Better workplace ergonomics lead to lower turnover, fewer injuries, improved morale, and a stronger employer brand.

Exoskeletons directly address all of these challenges, making industrial work safer, more sustainable, and more resilient.

What Exactly Is an Exoskeleton?

An exoskeleton is a wearable biomechanical device designed to assist workers during physically demanding activities such as lifting, bending, squatting, carrying loads, or performing tasks above shoulder height.

Unlike traditional protective equipment, which only minimizes injury after strain occurs, an exoskeleton actively reduces load on the body while the task is being performed.

Its design allows it to:

• reduce the forces acting on muscles, joints, and the spine
• redistribute load from the body to its mechanical structure
• improve postural stability during demanding or repetitive movements
• increase endurance and reduce fatigue during long shifts
• support natural, unrestricted range of motion

Workers often describe the sensation not as being pushed, but as feeling more stable and less exhausted throughout the shift.

According to independent biomechanical studies, advanced exoskeletons can reduce muscle activation in high-load regions by 40-60%, significantly lowering strain and improving long-term endurance.

How Exoskeletons Work: The Biomechanics Behind the Support

Behind their simplicity lies a sophisticated integration of biomechanical and mechanical principles. Modern exoskeletons follow the body’s natural movement patterns while reducing strain in critical zones.

They achieve this through four core mechanisms:

Load redistribution

The external structure absorbs part of the physical load that would normally be carried by a worker’s muscles or spine. This reduces compressive forces on the lower back and decreases fatigue in major muscle groups.

Targeted support in high-strain positions

Exoskeletons do not provide support constantly. They activate assistance in positions that place the greatest stress on the body, such as bending, lifting from low positions, or working overhead. This ensures maximum protection exactly when workers need it.

Natural, intuitive movement

Through mechanical joints or sensor-driven systems, the exoskeleton synchronizes with the user’s movements. It does not restrict range of motion, allowing natural flexibility and quick adaptation to varied tasks.

Reduced fatigue and greater endurance By lowering continuous muscle activation, workers maintain precision, stability, and pace longer throughout the shift. This leads to fewer errors, greater consistency, and a better physical condition at the end of the workday.

Passive and Active Exoskeletons

Exoskeletons generally fall into two categories, each suited for different environments and intensity levels.

Passive exoskeletons

Passive exoskeletons use mechanical elements such as springs, elastic components, dampers, and levers. They require no battery power and provide support through stored mechanical energy.

Benefits include:

• low weight
• high reliability
• minimal maintenance
• suitability for all-day use

They are especially popular in warehouses, logistics centers, automotive assembly, and manufacturing lines where movements are repetitive but continuous productivity is essential.

Active exoskeletons

Active exoskeletons use electric motors, powered joints, sensors and smart control units to dynamically adjust assistance in real time. They provide stronger, more precisely targeted support, especially during heavy or high-frequency lifting tasks.

They are increasingly implemented in high-intensity industrial environments, including heavy manufacturing and construction.

Benefits for Workers and Employers

Benefits for workers

• significantly reduced strain on back, shoulders and joints
• improved stability and support during demanding tasks
• sustained performance throughout long shifts
• reduced fatigue and fewer repetitive stress injuries
• improved long-term well-being

Benefits for employers

• fewer workplace injuries and lower associated costs
• reduced absenteeism and workforce turnover
• improved productivity and throughput
• more predictable staffing and operational stability
• stronger positioning as a company that invests in employee safety and well-being

In industries defined by labor shortages and high physical demands, this can become a key competitive advantage.

Conclusion

Exoskeletons represent a meaningful shift in how companies approach physically demanding work. They bridge the gap between the operational demands of modern industry and the physical limitations that often lead to injuries, fatigue, and instability.

By reducing strain, enhancing safety, and supporting long-term worker health, exoskeletons are becoming one of the most valuable tools for building a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable industrial workplace.

Our next article will dive deeper into real-world warehouse scenarios and measurable before-and-after results of exoskeleton implementation.

In today’s fast-paced e-commerce and logistics landscape, customer expectations are higher than ever. Same-day dispatch, reliable tracking, flexible pickup options, and error-free deliveries have become the new standard rather than a competitive advantage.
Behind the scenes, however, achieving this level of speed and accuracy requires much more than manual workflows or standalone courier tools. It demands a fully connected environment where order data, shipment information, and tracking updates flow seamlessly between systems.

That’s why integrating a Warehouse Management System (WMS) with courier platforms and parcel locker networks is no longer optional — it’s a core requirement for any operation that wants to scale efficiently, reduce errors, and deliver a consistent customer experience.

Why Integration with Couriers and Parcel Lockers Matters

Without direct connection between your WMS and courier or locker networks, your shipping process still relies on manual entry and label generation.
This increases the chance of errors, delays, and extra workload.

With direct integration (as in Servis24 WMS), every step — from shipment creation to delivery and locker pickup updates — happens automatically, with no human intervention.

What Courier and Locker Integration Includes

• Automatic shipment registration and label generation
• Tracking and pickup scheduling
• Real-time delivery status updates
• Return handling and notifications
• For parcel lockers:
  • Automatic locker selection based on customer address
  • Reservation of locker space in real-time
  • Pickup confirmation when the user scans the QR code

All handled seamlessly from one interface.

Most Common Couriers and Locker Networks in Croatia & EU

• DPD / DPDgroup – MyDPD integration with DPD Parcel Lockers
• Overseas Express – API and locker automation
• GLS, DHL, UPS, Croatian Post (Paket24) – expanding parcel locker coverage
• InPost, BoxNow, and other regional locker networks

Key Benefits

✅ Faster dispatching: Integrated shipping workflows automate label creation, data exchange and courier selection, significantly reducing handling time per parcel.
✅ Fewer data entry errors: Orders, customer details and shipment data flow directly from WMS to couriers, eliminating manual input and preventing costly mistakes.
✅ Full shipment and pickup visibility: Real-time tracking updates, delivery statuses and locker pickup confirmations provide complete transparency for both warehouse teams and customers.
✅ Enhanced customer flexibility: Customers can choose between home delivery, pickup points or parcel lockers, improving convenience and reducing failed delivery attempts.
✅ Cost reduction through locker deliveries: Parcel-locker networks lower last-mile delivery costs, minimize returns and reduce the operational load on warehouse dispatch teams.

Case Example

A regional e-commerce client integrated Servis24 WMS with Croatian Post and Boxnow lockers, including automated parcel locker assignment.
Result: label generation time dropped from 45s to 8s, and 70% of customers now choose parcel lockers — cutting delivery costs by 15%.

In modern supply chains, a WMS (Warehouse Management System) rarely operates alone.
Its true power is unlocked when it seamlessly connects with other enterprise systems — ERP, TMS, WCS, and BI analytics tools.

Integration between two systems means that they exchange data automatically, accurately, and in real time, without the need for manual entry or copying information from one place to another. In practice, this means that the WMS and ERP “communicate” through APIs or other integration protocols: the WMS sends information about inventory levels, receipts, and shipments, while the ERP provides orders, item master data, partners, and financial documents. This eliminates manual steps, reduces operational errors, and ensures that all systems remain synchronized at all times. Such seamless data flow enables faster decision-making, better process control, and a stable foundation for scaling the business.

Integration has become a critical success factor for every WMS implementation — but it’s also where many projects fail if not done right.

Why Integration Is Essential

Without proper integration, even the best WMS can create more problems than it solves.
If data is inconsistent between systems, the result is double entries, stock mismatches, inaccurate invoices, and incomplete reports.

A successful integration ensures a Single Source of Truth — all systems use the same accurate and up-to-date information.

Most Common Systems Integrated with WMS

Integration Models

Common Integration Mistakes

🚫 Undefined business processes – integration starts before workflows are fully mapped.
🚫 Poor data mapping – mismatched fields between systems.
🚫 Insufficient testing – skipping sandbox and scenario validation.
🚫 Lack of logging and monitoring – errors are hard to trace post-launch.
🚫 Version mismatches – one system updates, breaking compatibility.

Best Practices for Success

✅ Map all data flows upfront – define direction, fields, and ownership with the ERP/TMS team.
✅ Use standardized formats (JSON, XML, EDI) – reduce maintenance effort.
✅ Ensure bidirectional synchronization – confirmations prevent data loss.
✅ Implement detailed logging and monitoring – Servis24 WMS logs all transactions in real time.
✅ Adopt an iterative rollout – test and deploy in controlled phases.

Conclusion

Integrating WMS with ERP, TMS, and other enterprise systems isn’t just a technical step — it’s the foundation of a truly digital warehouse.
Properly executed, integration drives transparency, speed, and efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Introduction – Why Integration Matters

Imagine a warehouse that receives dozens of pallets and ships hundreds of orders every day, constantly updating inventory levels. ERP handles procurement, sales, and finance “upstairs,” while the WMS manages physical goods movement—receiving, storage, picking, and dispatch—“downstairs.” Without integration, every manual Excel file or paper document introduces errors, delays, and unnecessary costs. That’s why WMS–ERP integration is no longer a luxury—it’s a prerequisite for fast, accurate, and profitable logistics.

A Single Source of Truth – What You Gain from WMS + ERP

With real-time data exchange between ERP and WMS, operations—ranging from supplier orders to customer invoicing—run without duplicate data entry and unnecessary manual work.

Inbound (Goods Receipt):

1. ERP receives supplier document (invoice/ASN) and sends it to WMS—warehouse gets an exact arrival forecast.

2. WMS opens a Goods Receipt document listing expected items, quantities, and LT/serial details.

3. When goods arrive, warehouse staff scan each barcode; WMS compares scanned data with expected data.

4. If correct, the GR is confirmed and closed; discrepancies (over, short, wrong LOT) are logged immediately.

5. Closing triggers automatic ERP update: inventory levels, stock values, and financial postings are updated in real time.

Outbound (Shipping):

1. ERP confirms a sales order and sends it to WMS, giving warehouse a dispatch list.

2. WMS generates a shipping order/pick list with precise warehouse locations.

3. Warehouse staff follow the pick list on Android devices, scanning locations, items, LOT/serials, and quantities—errors minimized.

4. After picking, the operator closes the shipping order: WMS assigns a shipment number, prints labels (e.g. CMR), and marks it “Sent.”

5. Shipment closure sends real quantities and shipping info back to ERP, which updates inventory, posts output, and prepares the invoice.

This two-way flow removes manual steps, speeds up processes, and ensures everyone—from warehouse to CFO—sees the same, fully updated inventory picture.

Technical Details – Integration Options

Here are the five most common integration methods, rated from fastest to most complex, with considerations for speed, security, and cost—most relevant for technical teams and ERP providers:

• API (REST/SOAP): fastest, real-time updates via JSON/XML.
• SFTP/FTP: secure CSV/XML exchange at intervals—but not real-time.
• EDI (EDIFACT, ANSI X12, SAP IDoc): robust supply-chain standard—requires mapping.
• SQL view/ODBC: direct DB reading when infrastructure supports it.
• Note: S24 WMS supports all these methods, tailored to each client’s needs

ERPs Already Connected with Servis24 WMS

Servis24 WMS is already integrated with over 20 ERP systems, including:

• SAP S/4HANA i SAP ECC
• 4D Wand
• Pantheon
• Jupiter Software
• Dynamics 365 BC/NAV
• Luceed
• Navision…

If your ERP system isn’t on the list, we can typically complete a basic integration (receiving, shipping, inventory) within three to five weeks, depending on the responsiveness of the ERP provider and the urgency of the project.

Conclusion — Tangible Value for Your Company

When you connect your WMS and ERP using one of the methods described above, your logistics operations shift from being a hidden cost to a source of competitive advantage. Data flows automatically, inventory updates happen while the scanner is still lit, and every shipment leaves without stress or Excel gymnastics.

There’s less stock sitting in the warehouse, fewer people fixing errors, and more customers receiving goods exactly when expected. At the same time, management sees accurate numbers in one place — from per-item margins to shift productivity — and makes decisions based on facts, not gut feeling.

In short: clearer, leaner processes, lower costs, and faster growth.
