Work Centers & Tool Storage

Work Centers

Everything in its place

A work center in the manufacturing industry refers to a unique machine, a set of interchangeable machines, or an assembly work area. It is a physical or logical production area used as a unit for scheduling and routing operations. Work centers are essential in lean manufacturing, as they enable work center rates for labor and manufacturing overhead to be applied to routing setup and cycle times, calculating sequence labor and overhead costs. Tool storage within the manufacturing industry is also critical as it offers durable construction and mobility, many customizable storage options, a high storage capacity, modular design for flexibility, and finally heavy-duty tool holders and drawers.

 

In their design, a work center can be a single machine, a group of machines, or an assembly area. Work Centers can also have varying capacities which can affect production output and scheduling, as well as having specific requirements depending on the facility. You must examine the needs of your facility before the installation of a work center and tool storage area as all facilities differ in size, use case, and production.  Consider the following key factors when making your decision:

  • Production volume and workflow requirements
  • Type and quantity of tools and equipment
  • Durability and portability needs
  • Customization and flexibility requirements  

 

Work centers and integrated tool storage systems include modular drawer cabinets, workbenches, and custom tool storage options that may be integrated to accommodate specific industrial requirements.

This modular design enables easy expansion and reconfiguration as manufacturing requirements change. A wide range of options for customization which include housings, drawer heights, various lock and key systems, doors, and compartments. This customization enables manufacturers to design work centers that meet their specific tool storage and workflow requirements. A robust construction and often stainless steel tops for workbenches to ensure durability portability and easy cleanup. Finally, they provide integrated convenient storage for frequently used tools including easy-to-install accessories that can evolve with project requirements. This can include housing tools and supplies below or above the work surface, or both, offering a more efficient workstation and improved productivity.
