Creform workstation aids ergonomic and productivity training for manufacturing

Creform Corp. has designed and built a workstation for use at a Kentucky university’s productivity lab. The students and teachers use the workstation in the lab for ergonomic and productivity training in simulated manufacturing assembly and warehouse environments.

The workstation includes a ½-in. plastic work surface for parts supplies, tools, and paperwork. Above that work surface is a flat pipe that holds a power strip and can also hold clip-on plastic bins. A drawer below pulls out for keyboard and storage access.

A 4-ft. LED provides illumination, while an elevated monitor is integrated on the right-hand side. Secured to the base of the workstation is an ergonomic positioning system that comprises four hydraulic cylinders. The lift has a 1,000-lb. capacity with a 12-in. stroke.
