Features of Industrial Ergonomic Solutions

If you have ever heard “a place for everything and everything in its place,” then you know the concept of an industrial ergonomic workstation or workbench. A workspace that is ergonomic will have all items within arm’s reach, with the more common necessities closest to the worker. Creating an “Ergonomic Zone” lessens repetitive motions and decreases work times for maximum efficiency.

Ergonomic Workbench

An ergonomic workbench is generally used when activities in the work cell are more minimal. A workbench may not be easily height adjustable and have few options for customization. The base of the workbench is a table with few accessories. A workbench is ideal for a simplified testing station, electronic repair station, tool and die work, as a printer or computer stand and even for automotive applications. A workbench offers fewer opportunities to upgrade the functions in the future.

Ergonomic Workstation

An ergonomic workstation is designed to accommodate a more complex work pattern and offers numerous accessory items and adjustability. An ergonomic workstation is height adjustable, manual or electric-powered, and offers an easy way to accessorize with computer equipment, scales, packing supplies, parts bins, storage drawers, shelves, and many other options. Ergonomic workbenches are often used as LAN command centers with single stations or single-sided and double-sided stations configured in a row. For special accommodations, an ergonomic workstation will create a work location to assist a worker to stay on the job. One excellent benefit of an ergonomic workstation is that is simple to change and re-configure for alternate operations, so it offers a solution that will grow and change with your workplace.

Workstation Applications

Industrial ergonomic workstations can be configured in an almost limitless fashion. The units can be arranged in a single continuous line, placed in parallel production lines, or integrated with a conveyor system or ball transfer. An ergonomic workstation can be designed for packing, assembly, electronic manufacturing, laboratories, quality assurance evaluation, programming, medical facilities, test stations, and clean-room applications.
