Gigant at Sandvik: Fewer earmuffs - increased productivity

Staff, management and Sandvik's own environmental engineer all agreed: the noise level in the Wear Protection & Screening Media department needed to be reduced. By working with Gigant , they were able to achieve an effective overall solution.

Gigant started by visiting Sandvik in Svedala to take measurements. After a needs analysis, they were able to propose two different tracks. Firstly, isolate as close to the noise sources as possible and secondly, create a general noise reduction in the premises. Sandvik chose to go down both routes.

- "We could immediately see that the noise level had been reduced, but we also carried out measurements of the noise level. And the results are remarkable," says Martin Andersson, Production Manager at Sandvik, Wear Protection & Screening Media.

Today, few earmuffs are visible on the floor, while productivity has increased from 58% to over 75%.

- Many factors are involved here, but noise reduction has obviously played a role, as noise is a tiring factor. And a lower noise level makes it easier to communicate, for example, and reduces the risk of misunderstandings," says Martin Andersson.

We start by analyzing the work environment on the ground - what are the priority needs and potential problem areas? We then listen to your own expertise on the business and production to ensure that our delivery makes a real difference.

Based on the analysis, we develop a complete solution. The proposal can be drawn in Gigant 3D to visualize and quote the offer and for you as a customer to get a sense of how the solution fits in and how different details are designed.

We don't let go of responsibility just because the product has left the warehouse. If required, we also help with on-site installation and ensure that the solution works properly. We have installation teams all over the Nordic region.
