Everything you need to know about layout and production planning

Grasping area analysis at the workstation: practical ergonomics and workstation design in VR

The screwdriver hangs too high, the KLT box sits two steps too far to the left, and the cycle starts to fluctuate. In assembly and logistics, every grasp determines quality, speed, and strain.

Comparing workstation variants in VR: digital workstation design that holds up

Digital workstation design gains value when you really compare variants: material on the left or right, a working height of 920 mm or 1,050 mm, a walking route of 3 m or 6 m.

Workstation optimization with lean methods and VR planning

Workstation optimization with lean methods and VR planning stabilizes takt, reduces waste, and improves ergonomic workstation design.

Ergonomics and workstation design in assembly: a practical guide with VR examples

Ergonomic assembly workstations determine how stable cycle times are, how many errors occur, and how fit the team stays.

Assembly planning and process optimization: increasing capacity with VR

Assembly planning and process optimization determine delivery reliability and margin. When work in process (WIP) grows, the bottleneck shifts, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) stays below …

Greenfield in factory, layout, and hall planning: your VR-based guide

In a greenfield project, you set paths, cycle times, and costs for many years to come. You plan without legacy constraints, but you have to work with many assumptions, and every late change costs …

Poka-yoke at the workstation: error-proof assembly in lean production

Variant diversity, tight cycle times, and changing qualifications meet limited attention on the shopfloor.

Ergonomics at the assembly workstation: how to plan and validate ergonomic workstations

Ergonomics in assembly determines stable cycles, clean quality, and healthy teams. If you plan your assembly workstation ergonomically and check it early, errors and downtime go down and process …

Workstation design in VR: metrics for ergonomics, routes, and material flow

Workstation design in VR makes digital workstation design in production planning tangible. You experience layouts as walkable 3D models, check distances, grasping areas, and fields of view at full …

Workplace Design

What is workplace design actually?

Layout Planning

Optimize material flow with layout planning

Align storage and production areas for optimal efficiency

Coordinate warehouse and production perfectly and avoid bottlenecks

Plan assembly processes realistically but virtually

And that without expensive prototypes

Efficient production layouts

How to optimize your production

Brownfield: Restructure and optimize existing plants

Rebuild and optimize existing plants efficiently using brownfield strategies.

Green Field: Successful planning of new production sites

Plan green field projects efficiently — from initial idea to implementation.

Route optimization in production

Shorter routes, less waste — optimize your production with route planning.

Ergonomic workplaces in production

Improve workplace ergonomics for greater efficiency and fewer failures.
