Commonly supplied with a 5S Shadow Board our clear panel cabinets are supplied fully assembled and custom built to size and specification. Our cabinets create visual security for assets and equipment that are often locked away in working environments where there are temporary staff or contractors working on site. They provide an added layer of shelter protection from harsh working environments to sensitive electronic or precisely calibrated tools. Utilising visual storage helps to foster a culture of care for equipment. Clear panels allow for quick visual checks on the location of tools and equipment.
Shadow Boards: Lifting Tackle
LOLER regulations require lifting equipment to be appropriately stored, marked and inspected. Our Shadow Boards assist the user in locating the equipment in the correct place so the item is always available when not in use.
Shadow Boards: Cleaning Station
5S Cleaning Stations provide the perfect platform for ensuring that cleaning equipment is at the right place, at the right time, when it is needed. Reduce time searching for cleaning tools, differentiate between production areas, increase life of cleaning tools and add professionalism to your workplace
Shadow Boards: Changeover A Frame
Keep operationally critical spare parts visually stored close to process, reducing potential downtime in the event of equipment failure. Minimise wasted time in the SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) process by locating the changeover parts close to the process in an organised and logical layout ready for switch out.
