Workstation Design: Where Ergonomics Meets Efficiency

Manual Assembly vs. Automated Assembly – Part 2: Designing Workstations for Productivity

Thoughtful workstation design is the foundation for error-free and efficient assembly. While basic assembly benches may seem cost-effective in the short term, they often come with long-term disadvantages. These setups typically lack modularity and tend to be more error-prone, which increases the need for frequent retraining.

Industry-proven systems, such as the item modular system, allow for flexible planning and adaptation tailored not only to production requirements but also to worker needs. Ergonomics plays a vital role here: adjustable heights, optimal lighting, and logical arrangement of tools and materials not only boost productivity but also improve workplace comfort.

Another key to workplace well-being and efficiency is the introduction of a worker assistance system like our ELAM system.

It ensures clear task structures, minimizes errors, and significantly shortens onboarding times for new employees. The ideal combination of thoughtfully designed hardware and intelligent software is crucial to achieving both flexibility and product quality at the workstation.
