Designed to provide an outside contracting service with information on which to
base a quote for workstation assembly and installation. Some elements also provide a useful checklist for assembly performed by the end user and/or maintenance personnel.
IAC has produced a convenient PDF questionnaire that allows you to comprehensively identify the requirements and limitations of your workbench/workstation needs.

Human or Machine? How do managers make informed decisions about allocating tasks to humans and robotics equipment? Some functions can be performed only by humans because...
When the time comes to choose a workstation, an important characteristic to watch for is how much flexibility you need in making height adjustments. Incorrect working height is often responsible for the musculoskeletal risk factors...
No one survey will satisfy all situations, which, says Ebben, is why it has been difficult to design a good comprehensive survey/ checklist for sale. A company, therefore, must develop a questionnaire that suits its specific job tasks and environment—often done by combining several checklists to create a form appropriate to the situation.
Dr. Ebben relates how long scars on the wrist of a bellhop helping with her luggage led her to surmise correctly that he had undergone carpal tunnel surgery. He had incurred his injuries on an assembly line job...
For better ergonomics in the office environments, you should lower monitors, avoid retractable keyboard trays, and be aware of any problems with your mouse, trackball, or touchpad.
Research clearly demonstrates that specific interventions can reduce the reported rate of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) for workers who perform high-risk tasks. Successful interventions require...
An essential part of an ergonomics program is designing a workstation for the tasks users perform. For repetitive tasks, look for characteristics of the user-workstation interface that could lead to cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs). Significant issues are posture and contact stress.
In my work as an ergonomist for a manufacturer of workstations, I deal with ergonomics as the human interface for assembling, testing, repairing and packaging electronic and mechanical components.
When asked about the decision to purchase custom benches from IAC, Rockwell engineer Paul Krause commented, “IAC was the only bench company that could come up with a finished product to meet our needs. IAC provided a nice shallow solution from back of upright to bench and they solved our conveyor challenge."
.
In manual assembly operations, using workstations with conveyors creates a common ergonomic problem. Typically, operators are forced into awkward, nonneutral working postures while the conveyors generate contact force on arms, wrists or legs.
Too much light can make assembly and inspection tasks more difficult by creating shadows and causing visual discomfort for the user. Excessively bright light can also wash out visual gradient, like making a thread undetectable against a matching piece of fabric. Too little light, on the other hand, can contribute to longer task time and increased errors.

Monitor placement is a misunderstood area of workstation configuration. The ANSI/ HFI 100-1998 standard requires positioning computer monitors to locate the display area 0-60º below the viewer’s eye level.
Personal Attention and ‘Quick Ship’ Thinking Won Nokia Business for IAC
Nokia was also dissatisfied with the competition because their current bench dealers shipped parts without providing any installation support. Nokia was looking for a product line that offered fast turn-around-time on product orders and greater flexibility for upgrades.
Direct workers compensation costs, and lost injury and illness days were not acceptable at Harmon Industries (Grain Valley, MO and Riverside, CA) three years ago. Today, after implementing an ergonomics program, Harmon can boast about its health and safety record.
Cutler-Hammer, worldwide manufacturers of electronics, circuit breakers, and power supplies, came to IAC Industries for workstations for the Assembly division of their Puerto Rico plant. Ariel Guzman of the Cutler-Hammer de Puerto Rico Company was put in charge of a new product line being sent from Wisconsin to Puerto Rico for manufacturing.
As a new product design unfolds, so do the specifications for the hand tools, parts, computer systems, and software that a worker will use for assembly, test, and repair tasks.
Ouch! On-the-job repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) are debilitating to workers, and costly for their employers as well. According to a survey conducted by the newsletter CTD News RSIs cost U.S. businesses about $10.8 billion last year! That bottom-line debit drives industry’s interest in ergonomics.
Abbott Medical Optics assembles a modern lab for support of its latest Laser Eye Care System. This article provides a case study of the steps involved in furnishing a modern assembly lab, and to provide an enlightening roadmap for those faced with similar requirements.
Laboratory design is now going through the most notable rethinking in the last half-century. What has changed, in addition to modern diagnostic equipment that is de rigor, is the notion of versatility. There is a recognition that laboratories need to change as both purpose and technologies change.
The main production floor at Camtronics Medical Systems (Hartland, Wisc.) employs an inventive arrangement of Dimension 4 workstations with connecting radius-back corner worksurfaces to achieve a practical, yet always adaptable, solution for assembling and testing the company’s various product lines.
A process re-evaluation and new technical furnishings inspire assemblers at a Southern California cable manufacturer.
Cutler-Hammer, worldwide manufacturers of electronics,
circuit breakers, and power supplies, came to IAC
Industries for workstations for the Assembly division of their
Puerto Rico plant....
The objective was to decrease ergonomic risk factors, even
though reduction of all forceful tasks was not possible. To
accomplish this objective, Harmon selected Dimension 4
(D4) workstations with integrated hydraulic heightadjustment
capability and pneumatically controlled ball
transfer systems.
IAC's Dimension 4 Workstations the perfect solutions for DisperSol Technologies' need for a productive and efficient modern laboratory.
Customized Dimension 4 enable conveyor systems to bring parts closer to Rockwell workers. Rockwell engineer Paul Krause
commented, “IAC was the only bench company that could
come up with a finished product to meet our needs. IAC
provided a nice shallow solution from back of upright to
bench and they solved our conveyor challenge.”
A Case Study of modular lab furniture where the mission was to source and install Lab-Rite Analytical’s “dream” lab.
What’s driving the adoption of modular workstations in replacement of conventional built-in casework cabinetry? Growth. Expansion. Revision. The pace of change has accelerated, and the competitive need to adapt is greater than ever.
The Nokia engineers were interested in several benches from IAC’s built-to-order product lines, except for the required long lead times. With a little ingenuity, Taylor came up with the idea to sell IAC’s Standard D4 workstations with upgrades and accessories from IAC’s Quick Ship product line.
How IAC's Smart Mobile Stations (SMS Carts) helped two engineers solve two very unique workplace challenges.
The average brain is just 1400cc, yet houses 100 billion neurons. So it’s not surprising that a laboratory delving into the complexities of the brain would need to pack a lot of ‘smarts’ into a similarly compact area. In organizing 4 new research labs at the University of California at Davis, Systems Administrator for Research, Jeremy Smith, was faced with this challenge.
Find out how Jeremy met his requirements.

Updated January 2020 - IAC's Quick Ship products comprise many of our most popular workbenches, workstations, packing stations and productivity accessories, ready to ship in 5-10 Business Days. Subject to availability.
These Operator Protective Equipment (OPE) solutions provide division between operators, essentially shielding them from their neighboring stations, especially when these operators cannot stay six (6’) feet apart.
