Why Architects & Commercial Interior Designers Need to Specify Custom Workbenches

AUSTIN, Texas - Nov. 20, 2019 - PRLog -- No two industrial facilities are alike. No two laboratories are the same.

Some sites are located in multistory buildings within high-density urban areas. Others can be found in the exurbs and rural areas where one-story structures predominate.

And, even if you were to have two physically identical sites, what takes place inside these structures varies tremendously — in the case of industrial facilities, there is a huge variation in specific production processes at work, the levels of automation employed, the speed and volume of production in place, and so forth.

The bottom line is that standard, off-the-shelf furniture solutions often come up short when you are seeking to optimize your industrial production facilities and laboratory environments.

Not convinced? Let's take a look at five reasons you should consider custom furniture for your next industrial or lab project:

1. Custom Furniture Makes More Efficient Use Of Your Existing Square Footage.

Are you running out of space? Have you outgrown your existing facility? If so, it can be an expensive proposition to build or lease new facilities.

But, before you take that step, why not investigate ways to get more use out of your existing real estate? In many instances, Formaspace has been able to help clients redesign their existing facilities to become more space-efficient while sparing them millions of dollars of unnecessary real estate expenditures.

2. Custom Furniture Workflows Make Your Facility More Productive.

We're all on the lookout for ingenious ways to make our industrial facilities and laboratories more productive — and more and more companies are implementing next-generation, lean manufacturing principles to improve production workflow and increase quality.

Custom industrial furniture plays a key, supporting role in creating an ideal lean manufacturing environment. For example, our custom storage solutions help keep everything organized on the production line, while our custom ramps and integrated workstations can significantly improve material handling workflow.

3. Custom Furniture Helps Create A Safer Workplace For Your Workers.

Each year, preventable on-the-job accidents cost employers millions of dollars in compensation claims and lost productivity.

In many cases, careful analysis can pinpoint these likely accident hotspots — allowing you to take corrective action before accidents occur. Custom furniture is often a key part of the solution. For example, in the case of material handling, custom solutions from Formaspace can eliminate the need for employees to lift heavy objects.
