Material processing
Total solution for better material processing
One of the first workstations in a manufacturing industry is usually the material processing workstation. This is where the incoming material, which is often bulky, is handled and cut and shaped. It is a dirty and rough workplace where there are a lot of splashes and chips from the machining process.
Heavy, awkward lifting is part of everyday life, and very high noise levels come from the machines as material passes through them. So there are many critical elements, but by optimizing the workplace you can achieve everything from increased safety and profitability to reduced sick leave and fewer errors. In our workplace solution, we define common problems and provide solutions.
The result is the Type Workplace Material Processing - a purchasable complete solution for those who want a material processing workplace suitable for today's modernized industry.
Our approach to finding the right solution
Have you ever experienced problems such as poor lighting, back and neck pain, or a workplace that is difficult to adapt to different people and needs? These are some of the most common problems in assembly workplaces across industries.
To help you solve the problems, we work based on the Gigant model - a proprietary method in three steps; analysis, solution and deployment. In step one, we define the problems and improvement opportunities that exist in your workplace, where we at Gigant can come out to you and do this on site. Based on these three steps, we develop a solution, and in step three we deploy and evaluate it.
When you buy a Typeworkplace, there are two ways to go. Either you choose a ready-made solution where much of the work is already done and can be easily adjusted to your needs.
If you have a particularly unique problem that requires a more complex solution, we also have the option of conducting a thorough analysis of your needs and then tailoring the solution.
Whichever route you choose, the result is the same: an end-to-end solution tailored to your needs that optimizes your entire workplace in one go. A simple way to increase profitability.
With over 30 years of experience, we know what works
Over a long period of time, we have accumulated knowledge about what makes a good industrial workplace. When we develop our workplace solutions, we therefore do so based on the problem areas where we have our expertise and where we know which are the most common problems, areas such as noise, ESD or load ergonomics, etc.
Our areas of competence are the expertise that drives us to a solution, which we land using the Gigant model.
For material processing, we work according to the following problem areas
Material handling
Handling heavy, awkward or bulky materials is common in material processing. Gigant has solutions that turn laborious handling into an efficient and ergonomic flow.
Ergonomics of loading
In this workplace, people rarely stand still, but move around the machines and tables all the time. This requires flexible aids, but also conditions for relief and rest.
Candles
Poorly lit machines are both a safety hazard and a common source of irritation for employees. There are several flexible solutions to match this workplace.
Lifting
Manual lifting is still common in industries. There are great gains to be made with more thoughtful lifting solutions, such as reduced risk of injury and accidents.
5S
With well thought-out structure and storage, you create order among the large amount of materials and tools that pass through the material processing.
Noise
The material processing workplace and its machines often provide a noisy environment that can lead to stress and fatigue, as well as accidents and unnecessary errors. There are a number of solutions to reduce noise levels.
Shielding
Dirt and dust in the workplace can be easily isolated from the rest of the production using shielding.
Leakage
Leakage is a common problem in e.g. material processing machines. Relatively small and simple improvements can result in big changes for safety.
