SOLUTION

Flexible Technologically Advanced Workstations for Assembly

The company Acryform d.o.o., operating in the recreational vehicle and caravan industry, required technologically advanced workstations for key assembly processes due to the launch of new products. In order to simplify and automate workstations that enable precise control over assembly while ensuring ease of use, Acryform d.o.o. decided to use our workstation solutions. The workstations designed for different stages of assembly, such as window assembly, pleated blind assembly, and window frame assembly, were tailored to meet the demands of modern production with advanced functionalities and high usability.

01 Problem

Until now, Acryform d.o.o. had been performing most of the assembly operations manually using simplified jigs, which did not always provide the necessary control and simplicity required for the new products in the recreational vehicle market. The introduction of new products also brought entirely new assembly operations that had not existed before. Manual execution did not ensure optimal control and quality, and there were limitations in terms of ergonomics and technological sophistication of the workstations. As a result, the company needed technologically refined and flexible workstations that would allow for more accurate and controlled assembly, simplified use, and improved work organization.

02 Solution

BOS GRUBAR designed flexible and technologically advanced workstations that meet the needs of assembling new products in the caravan industry. The workstations are designed for different stages of assembly, such as window assembly, pleated blind assembly, and window frame assembly, and are adapted to allow easy use and complete control over individual processes. The functionalities are designed to reduce reaches and paths to materials, enabling more efficient work and reducing physical strain.  

Furthermore, the workstations allow for adjustment between seated and standing positions, offering added flexibility. Some segments are automated to replicate manual tasks, ensuring a more controlled and high-quality assembly process. BOS GRUBAR has also ensured the ease of use of automation and simplified controls, all complemented by an ergonomically refined design tailored to the needs of modern manufacturing.

Technical Details of the Solution

Technological Refinement: The workstations provide complete control over assembly processes with integrated functions for easy and precise use, tailored to the needs of assembling different products.
Optimized material handling: The layouts are designed to reduce reach distances and material transport paths, facilitating a faster and more efficient production process
Automated segments for controlled work: Some parts of the workstations are automated to mimic manual work, improving control and quality of execution while allowing for a more consistent process.
Adjustable for seated and standing operations: The workstations are designed to accommodate both seated and standing positions, providing enhanced flexibility and adaptability, particularly for extended tasks.
Simplified use of automation and refined design: BOS GRUBAR designed workstations that include easy and intuitive use of automation, complemented by an aesthetically refined design.

03 Results

With the implementation of the new flexible workstations, Acryform d.o.o. achieved the following results:

Increased productivity and quality of final products,
Reduced operational costs due to better organization and control,
Greater flexibility in production for new products,
Simplified assembly processes and better organization of workstations,
Improved working conditions, leading to higher employee satisfaction and efficiency.

04 Conclusion

By introducing technologically advanced workstations, Acryform d.o.o. significantly improved its production capacity and product quality while reducing operational costs. The workstations provide greater flexibility for assembling various products and improve working conditions, directly impacting productivity and the company's competitiveness. BOS GRUBAR, through the design of these advanced workstations, enabled easy use and complete control over assembly processes, allowing Acryform to better adapt to market demands in the recreational vehicle and caravan industry.
