Large Stand-Up Workstation for Assembly

Creform designed this large stand-up workstation for a truck parts supplier. Measuring 16 feet long, 6 feet tall and 3 feet deep, the workstation is set up in a line to support one-piece-flow assembly. The linear configuration also makes it possible to add or remove workers, depending on manufacturing requirements.
It features a plastic work surface across the front, while above the work surface are three flow levels with angled presentation for totes. The flow lanes provide first-in-first-off (FIFO) parts handling, while the secondary angle enhances visibility in the totes and physical access to the parts. The angled presentation keeps loose parts in the totes near the front of the box for easy picking and handling.
The length, width and height of the workstation can be customized. It is built with blue colored, plastic-coated 28-millimeter steel pipe and clamped together with metal joints. It is available as an assembled structure or kit with pre-cut pipes for quick on-site assembly.
The modular design allows manufacturers to add only the accessories needed and configure the station that works best today, and then change it tomorrow as needs change.
Accessories include an overhead light, computer screen, shelves, additional flow lanes, drawers, information sheet holders, label holders, tool storage, and hooks to hang tools and supplies. All Creform workstations can be configured with static-dissipative components when sensitive electronics need to be protected.
