Storage is essential to keeping your work environment tidy and clean. Storage is also representative of good organization. To do this, firms use storage cabinets. Most of these storage units are crammed with both ‘useful’ and ‘unnecessary’ items. Therefore, it becomes difficult to quickly find what you are looking for and you can very quickly become discouraged.

Glass Storage to Keep Up with 5S Standards

SESA SYSTEMS recommends the use of its 5S storage cabinets in any work environment, whether in offices or in production workshops, in order to promote the Visual Management approach and apply correctly the 5S method:

  • SEIRI : Eliminate unnecessary things
  • SEITON : Tidy up for easy retrieval
  • SEISO : Clean up your work environment
  • SEIKETSU : Standardize, define your storage rules
  • SHITSUKE : Respect the rules previously defined

These 5S cabinets are perfect due to their transparent PMMA doors. The organization of storage is intelligently created. Only useful items that require frequent use are on the shelves. A location must always be defined. You can use adhesive or magnetic labels to place on the edges of the shelves to visualize what you are looking for and to maintain a clean and tidy environment.

5S Workshop Cabinets to Optimize Productivity

Workshop cabinets with transparent doors allow operators to structure their workspace and optimize their tasks. These storage units offer full visibility of the contents stored inside, where everything is tidy in its place. The operator saves valuable time and can work with complete peace of mind.
The use of these cabinets may vary depending on the activity. For example, these glass cabinets can accommodate plastic bins and storage bins to store all the hardware needed at a workstation to ensure constant production and/or maintenance. You can also store your binders containing important documents, such as plans, assembly models, procedures etc. You can also use these storage units as a safety cabinet by storing the equipment and PPE essential for working in workshops.

SESA SYSTEMS offers several formats and cabinet combinations to best structure work environment and meet requirements. Depending on available space and use, you can choose from 2 sizes and three models of showcase workshop cabinets:

  • a low version (height 970 mm) with 2 shelves,
  • a high version (height 1970 mm) with 3 shelves with a magnetic perforated bottom,
  • a high version (height 1970 mm) with 4 shelves.
