Underground exoskeleton pilot at Sibanye-Stillwater (Pillar 2)
As part of Pillar 2’s focus on innovation and technology, Sibanye-Stillwater is piloting the use of underground exoskeletons to support mineworkers in physically demanding environments.
This initiative aims to reduce fatigue, improve mobility and enhance overall safety underground. The pilot shows the industry’s commitment to adopting practical solutions that protect workers. Watch the video to see how this technology is being applied in real mining conditions.
