Ergonomics in production 

 

Sit well – work better  

How important is ergonomics in the production workplace really? If you want your production to be efficient and productive, you absolutely must have ergonomically designed workplaces. After all, ergonomics in production means that your employees will be healthier and more effective as they work. 
 
Well-designed industrial ergonomics take into account the movements and postures of those carrying out the work and ensures that their work equipment and environment are designed accordingly. This creates the basis for more productive work and more motivated employees.

Requirements 

 

Special work processes in production 

Concentrated, fine-motor tasks, activities requiring force, sweeping movements – the demands placed on employees in production are as varied as the industries in which they work, from the automotive industry to mechanical engineering and textile production. 


Bimos' decades of experience with the special work processes in production are reflected in chairs with optimal ergonomics, which have been developed in close cooperation with occupational health practitioners and experts from the field.  
 

We are happy to advise you on the special requirements that a workplace chair must fulfil in production.

Opportunities

 

Ergonomics benefits employees

An ergonomic chair increases productivity  

If workplace chairs at production workstations are ergonomic, the employee's body is relieved of strain and energy can be fully focused on the tasks at hand.
In addition, an ergonomic chair supports necessary movements thanks to the appropriate settings. The effort required is drastically reduced and more can be achieved in less time; employees tire more slowly, work with greater concentration and make fewer mistakes.  

 

An ergonomic chair increases well-being and motivation

An ergonomic chair is a comfortable chair, which provides optimal support for the body and allows moments of relaxation. This is particularly important in a workplace where you have to perform the same movements and adopt complex postures for hours on end. A good workplace chair therefore helps to avoid forced postures caused by work tasks. 
It is therefore especially important in production to offer employees as great a sense of well-being as possible by providing them with an ergonomic chair. After all, people who are physically well are more motivated to work. 

 

Physical effects 

 

Health can be fostered

Ergonomic sitting can foster health. If you sit awkwardly, you need more energy to move, your muscles tire and stiffen, your neck and back start to ache, and it all results in forced postures. Continuous strain can damage the intervertebral discs, making them a weak point for future work. 


 

Incorrect posture of the legs or torso can also cause discomfort. Digestive disorders or impaired blood circulation lead to premature signs of fatigue. If the chair fails to provide support, this leads to compensatory postures, which cost a lot of energy and in turn lead to forced postures. An incorrect choice of chair therefore not only reduces work efficiency, but has also been proven to result in increased absences in production due to illness.

Adjustment options
 

Bimos chairs – ergonomically perfect

As sitting plays such an important role in the health of production employees, their well-being, their motivation and therefore also their productivity, Bimos has ergonomically optimised every workplace chair, down to the smallest detail.

Many health problems stem from sitting for long periods without moving. And if you lean forward, your back no longer has optimal support. The muscles become tense. That's why Bimos seat mechanisms are designed to maximise dynamic sitting. The workplace chair follows your movements, allows different postures and always gives your back firm support.

Height, leg length, weight – each employee is different. A workplace chair must therefore be able to be quickly and easily adjusted to different physical characteristics whenever necessary. At Bimos, we make this possible with a comprehensive ergonomics packageSeat depth, backrest height or height can be quickly, comfortably and, above all, optimally adjusted to the user.

Ergonomic sitting is also often related to the position of the arms and how much of a load they bear. Our optional armrests relieve pressure on the upper body, arms and shoulders and can be customised in a variety of ways. The 4D multifunctional armrest allows you to adjust the height, width and depth and can also be swivelled.

In production environments, the ideal upholstery is not only a matter of material, but also of shape. All of our chairs are equipped with ergonomically moulded upholsteries. This means that the backrest is tapered and the seat cushion is optimally moulded. The lumbar support in the backrest cushion supports the natural S-shape of the lumbar spine and thus ensures optimum relief and stabilisation of the lower back area. The front edge is rounded and the overall shape of the upholstered chair ensures a comfortable seat.
