30% gain in floorspace Enhanced aesthetics Improved efficiency Increased productivity

Problem
The primary maintenance facility at this Technical Laboratory Facility encompasses 5,000 square feet on two levels and houses a myriad of sophisticated testing and support systems. However, the facility's storage capabilities were far from sophisticated. A maze of open shelving created a situation where the wide array of parts, from electrical components, nuts, bolts and bearings to various types of tools were not easy to find or access. Workbenches in the space were lacking in functionality and difficult to keep organized. They were not uniform in appearance and, thus, aesthetically unattractive.

Solution
The total workspace solution provided has 15 workbenches and 11 standard width cabinets arranged in a variety of configurations. The functionality of the workbenches, with their large working area and protective work surfaces, has made their technicians more organized and productive. The workbenches have also contributed to a huge improvement in the plant's overall appearance.

Benefits
The cabinets have completely addressed all of their storage problems. One row of cabinets stores faster-moving items, such as electrical components, nuts, bolts, bearings, fuses and eye loops. The second row of drawers holds tools and other equipment utilized for machine maintenance. Cabinets with deeper drawers are ideal for storing expensive test equipment safely and securely.

Overall, the facility has realized a 30% gain in floor space due to the storage solution, as well as enhanced aesthetics and hugely improved efficiency.
