In an industrial environment, workstations and electrical equipment must be able to withstand extensive wear and tear. Whether you’re dealing with a factory floor, a busy workshop, a testing laboratory, or any other harsh environment, it’s important to consider your employees’ health, your equipment’s condition, and your company’s productivity. If you’re wondering how to improve your workstation, we encourage you to focus on the factors we’ve listed below. With the help of DustShield’s protective enclosures, you can build workstations that are both functional and secure.
Unsurprisingly, an excellent workstation starts with high-quality materials and design. When choosing a product, look at the craftsmanship, the certifications, the customer reviews, and the company’s reputation. Don’t be afraid to ask for a customer reference so that you can get first-hand feedback on the product and learn how it has withstood the test of time.
Ergonomics refers to employees’ efficiency in their working environment. It is important to design and arrange workplaces, products, and systems so that they fit their users and allow people to maintain good posture while working. By considering ergonomics in the design process, we can help minimize workers’ risk of injury or harm. Some factors that must be considered are the individual’s body size, skill, strength, speed, visual abilities, and hearing abilities.
To evaluate the ergonomics of products you’re considering adding to your workstation, look at their ease of use, their design flexibility, their ability to meet your size and shape requirements, and more. Are the products poorly designed? Do they promote awkward postures? Can they easily be maintained and repaired? DustShield’s workstations take these factors into account, with products designed for the average American worker. Not only does ergonomic equipment improve employees’ comfort and efficiency, but in doing so, it can also make your work process as productive as possible.
While it’s important to focus on efficiency and ergonomics with your workspace, don’t forget about aesthetics. For example, if you don’t protect the electronic equipment in a factory or lab environment, you might be left with a workstation that looks like this:
Yikes! A common symptom of poorly designed workstations is seeing visible dust settled on equipment. Not only is this unattractive, but it also threatens the health of the equipment. It may damage its functionality and shorten its lifespan. By investing in protective enclosures, you may improve your company’s efficiency, safeguard your equipment, and protect your bottom line. Just look at the difference a few DustShield enclosures can make when it comes to your workspace’s aesthetics:
Technology is always changing, so it’s important that your workstation has the ability to adapt with your equipment. Be sure that your workstation is able to integrate new technology as it comes. In addition, it’s common for a workspace to require a non-standard solution, perhaps a workstation with a unique size, shape, accessory, or design feature. If you’re wondering how to improve your workstation and you can’t find the perfect product for sale, work with a manufacturer to develop a custom workstation that satisfies all of your needs.
