Top 5 Types Of Custom Warehouse Workstations
Warehouse workstations are essential for efficient production floor operations. Regular updates and personalisation to suit individual workers' needs are crucial. Workers using their daily work stations can best identify areas for improvement to enhance overall efficiency. Modular workstations allow for quick and easy adjustments.
Discover the five most common types of lean manufacturing workstations used by our customers and Flexpipe employees!
Basics About Warehouse Workstations
Custom-built manufacturing workstations can help you keep your workspace tidy and efficient by limiting the surface area to only what you need. Don't be fooled into thinking a bigger workspace means more productivity; smaller industrial desks including standing workstations can actually boost problem-solving and encourage proper tool storage. They also make 5S audits a breeze.
We recommend getting your employees involved in designing their own work tables. Building workstations with a material handling system can foster teamwork and improve production efficiency over time. Plus, it can reduce the risk of accidents. When workers feel like they're part of the process, change management becomes much easier.

Cell Stations To Boost Lead Time
U - Cell Stations To Boost Lead Time
Cellular production is a key component of lean manufacturing and is known to significantly improve production line efficiency. For instance, U-shaped workstation designs have shortened customer lead times in the aerospace sector by as much as 90% in certain circumstances.
Why is this workstation layout so effective? The answer lies in its ability to streamline the flow of work. Products can move quickly from one operation to the next, often with the same worker performing multiple tasks. U-cell stations condense operations, reduce floor space, minimise transport time between stations, eliminate unnecessary steps, and shorten reach distances.
It's important to note that U-cell stations are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Flexpipe's pipe and joint systems offer flexibility in creating custom-made industrial workstations to suit your specific needs.
Ergonomic Standing Workstations
Standing desks are all about making workers more comfortable and productive. Studies show that standing can reduce stress, injuries, and boost productivity. These workstations are popular in manufacturing and are becoming more common in offices.
Flexpipe lets you build standing desks at the perfect height with the features you need. Our desks are adjustable, portable, adaptable, and more cost-effective than pre-built options.
Work Centres Close To Task Relevant Information
Work centers are central spots where workers can easily access work instructions and key performance indicators (KPIs). Based on activity type or cost, these stations ought to compile information about related tasks. Since all the information needed is close at hand rather than requiring a lengthy trek, this arrangement saves workers' time.
We advise locating work centres as near to the locations of linked businesses as possible to optimise efficiency.

Customised Work Tables To Satisfy The Requirements Of Your Employees
A worktable can be a simple bench for assembling items. But with Flexpipe's material handling system, you can create a custom workstation that suits your employees' needs perfectly. These structures are flexible and can be easily changed to fit your changing requirements.
The table is the core of the structure, and you can add other modules like custom shelves, tool storage, or shadow boards whenever you need them.
ESD Workstations To Eliminate Errors
ESD Workstations To Eliminate Errors
Businesses that deal with electronic and electric components must have ESD workstations. Anti-static characteristics are essential for these workstations to shield delicate components from harm. It is not more expensive or difficult to create an ESD structure than a normal one. But it's imperative to make sure that every component is ESD-safe.
You must use nickel-plated joints with black or stainless steel pipes in order to construct ESD workstations with Flexpipe. It is advisable to use anti-static accessories and wheels. You can find this information in the spec sheets of our products or consult with a Flexpipe project manager for assistance.
