Ergonomic Height Adjustable Workstations

Setting The Scene

Flexeserve are industry leaders in designing, manufacturing, and providing hot-holding and food-to-go solutions to their customers.

With increase in demand for their solutions and services, Flexeserve wanted to deploy an automated production and material handling solution that would help optimise operations, improve ergonomics, and increase throughputs.

The automated solution provided by L-A-C consisted of two new mechanised production lines equipped with an inline automated pallet conveyor system. The system comprised of four ergonomic assembly stations, three buffer stations and one offload station.

Shorter Cycle Time

Reduction in Manual Movement

1.5x Productivity
Increased

throughput of 60 pallets per 8-hour shift

The Challenge

L-A-C successfully delivered two pallet conveyor-based production lines that effectively tackled the challenges faced by Flexeserve. The customised solution incorporated a pallet loading ramp, height-adjustable workstations, and buffer stations to ensure smooth and independent progression of products through the production line.

Operators could easily adjust heights using automated controls and utilise a work complete button for task completion. Buffer stations minimised operator wait time, while the unload station facilitated manual offloading after final assembly.

The CE certified system accommodated different pallet types with safety measures in place. Each line, integrated with the scissor lift achieved a remarkable throughput of 60 pallets per 8-hour shift, surpassing manual operations.

Overall, the project successfully improved productivity and efficiency in the assembly line, fulfilling the desired objectives. successfully improved productivity and efficiency
