Case study - workplace optimization using workbenches

A company manufacturing drain cleaning nozzles needed to adapt its workplace to increase efficiency and improve the working environment for its employees.

In order to shorten distances and facilitate handling, the arrangement of the work tables was fundamentally changed. The new system was thoroughly tested in real everyday work, first in a wooden version, and then aluminum work tables were manufactured. Conceptual work in clear online configurators significantly accelerated the entire optimization process.

Before the new tables were delivered:

• The parts on the work table were taking up a lot of assembly space.
• The shipping table was too long with tools stored far apart.
• The material stock was not stored according to ergonomic principles.

After the new tables wre delivered:

• Adapting the workplace to the worker thanks to electrically height-adjustable tables with a load capacity of up to 1 ton.
• Reduction of the average picking time from 20 to 5 minutes.
• Reduction of the average throughput time from 15 to 10 minutes thanks to the one-piece flow.
• Reduction of waiting time thanks to simultaneous order preparation and assembly

Economical workbenches

With the economy tables, you can take advantage of the item modular system to create robust work tables in standard dimensions or in customized sizes with the lowest possible material consumption.

Depending on the use of the tables, their base is based on the classic MB 8 series profiles or on the D30 tube system for lean production. A wide range of work table accessories can also be used.

Ergonomics

The goal of ergonomics is to adapt the work environment to human needs. In everyday life this means adapting work heights to different staff figures and different work activities, along with optimizing working conditions, workflows and facilities.

A well-tailored workplace reduces employee fatigue, resulting in reduced injuries and accidents. It also reduces the incidence of health problems, especially back problems. Ergonomic workplaces support employee motivation to increase productivity.

Possibility of additional fitting of the tables and their compatibility

If there is a change in the production program in your production, it is usually associated with workplace adjustment. For example, it may be necessary to increase the storage boxes in lean production or to improve the table`s desk lighting.

Thanks to the option of adding shelves to tables, it is possible to easily increase the number of boxes as well as to add a profile to the top ramp and to fit another light. And all without the need for welding, you only need to fasten the profile to the existing frame with the screw connection.
