Research shows that incorrect posture in the workplace can result in a waste of up to 40% of a worker’s potential output. This is why geometry and functionality are important in the layout of an effective workstation.
Workstations from Bosch Rexroth focus equally on the worker and on the product being manufactured, delivering an ergonomic design that promotes greater productivity and profitability in your workshop.
The first step in designing an effective workstation is to define all requirements needed for the actual product that is being manufactured. These variables will include things like the materials necessary for production, worktable dimensions and how the material is supplied to the worker. Next, we look at the worker himself and evaluate factors such as tool positioning, optimal foot rests and proper lighting.
Modular, connected, interactive: ActiveAssist is revolutionising the manual workstation. The new software solution from Rexroth integrates sensor systems and guides employees intelligently through assembly.
The ActiveAssist software solution supports employees with targeted information and help functions and guarantees high process reliability.
With ActiveAssist, Bosch Rexroth combines its years of experience in lean production and ergonomic work station design and with the pioneer industry of 4.0 intelligence. ActiveAssist is freely configurable and connects physical assembly workstations to the virtual world. In combination with sensors, touchscreens, cameras and projectors, the comprehensive assistance system guides employees through the work steps with precision and makes varied assembly tasks down to batch size 1 a reality.
Our range of workstations are fully adjustable to cater for the height of the material supply area and that of the working surface. They are available as complete systems, as modules or as individual components.
Variable dimensions and equipment allow you to customise and adapt the workstations to your specific requirements.
