What We Did
This manufacturing plant wanted to provide their 125 employees with flexible ergonomic monitor and keyboard arms for operators of drill presses, lathes, and welding machines. Their goal was to eliminate paper work instructions (WI), which had to be printed and passed out for each part run on each machine several times per shift. It was also critical that these monitor and keyboard arms have the ability to easily swung out of the way once the machine operators were ready to run the parts. By investing in micro-computers, monitors, and ergonomic workstations, work instructions are now sent electronically for every part run, greatly improving productivity and also placing the operator in a good ergonomic posture.
