Lean workstations improve productivity

Well designed workstations

Well designed workstation make a huge difference in productivity. Having the just tools and equipment to hand, presented to the assembler in an orderly way is vital to increasing productivity and improving product consistency. The addition of IT equipment and cabling within the workstation is a great way to improve efficency, keep track of process whilst improving the line ascetically. Along with additional overhead lighting tool rails.

Conveyors & automation

The product assembly line shown uses a mixture 24V zero line pressure zoned accumulation roller conveyor to queue the product prior ball tables to easily manipulate the assembly into position on and off the workstations. Ensuring there is always product waiting to be assembled (driving the process time down), whilst giving the assembler time to thoroughly carry out there process.

Industrial workbench

Manufactured from welded steel section, Spaceguard manufacture a wide range of industrial workbenches. From standard worktables to Bespoke, Lean process workstations with integrated IT, weighing and call systems. Whether your requirement is a one off or volume order Spaceguard flexible manufacturing takes from customer requirement, through 3D design and into manufacturing through CNC saws and machining centres, jigged fabrication, bespoke worktop fabrication and component assembly, bringing together robust, high quality industrial workbenches at a realistic price.

Testing and packing

Reducing manual handling and additional product movement is a ideal way to reduce production costs. Adding testing and packing onto the assembly line an ideal in ensuring efficiency, so the assembly can go straight from the line straight to “Ready for despatch” ensuring the part doesn’t have to be handled again adding further cost. “Spaceguard packing stations improve packaging productivity”.

Component and carton storage

Ensuring the assembler and packer have the correct stocks to enable to not slow the line is imperative to any process line. Inline parts storage or carton storage racking is ideal to keep productivity high.
