Founded in 1978, Redcom Laboratories Inc. (Victor, NY) manufactures electronic switching systems for the commercial and military markets. Specific products include call management systems, emergency response systems and testing devices.
Traditionally a high-mix, low-volume manufacturer, a recent boost in sales and production volumes forced the company to rethink its assembly process. Among other changes, Redcom Laboratories decided it needed to upgrade its workstations-from the homemade wooden workbenches the company had been using since its inception to something more flexible and ergonomically sound.
