5S storage cabinets improve the organization of your working environment

Storage is essential to keep your work environment tidy and clean. Storage also represents a good organization. Storage cabinets help companies organize properly. However, most storage furniture actually serves to hide items. Both useful and useless items are piled up. Therefore, it becomes difficult to find what you are looking for, and you can be discouraged.

These 5S cabinets are perfect thanks to their doors in transparent PMMA. Storage can then be organized intelligently. Frequently used items are shown on the shelves. For each item, a location must be defined. To define each location, you can place adhesive or magnetic labels on the edges of the shelves. This enables you to quickly find what you are looking for, and to maintain a clean and tidy environment.

5S workshop cabinets optimize your productivity

In the immediate vicinity of workcells or workstations, workshop cabinets with transparent doors allow operators to structure their workspace and optimize their various tasks. These storage units provide total visibility of the content stored inside. Since everything is tidy and in its place, the operator saves precious time and can work with peace of mind.
The use of 5S transparent doors cabinets may vary depending on the activity. For example, transparent cabinets can accommodate plastic bins and storage bins to store all the hardware necessary for production or maintenance workstations.
You can also file binders in transparent door cabinets, with important documents such as plans, assembly models, procedures etc. You can also use these transparent doors storage units as a safety cabinet, to store essential Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).
