Woodbridge Glass and Werner Systems design, build, engineer, fabricate, assemble, glaze, and install unitized curtain wall systems for building fa\u00e7ades. Woodbridge Glass performs the installation, and Werner Systems performs the design, fabrication, and all other related processes in-house. Werner Systems also manufactures their own composite and plate panels, as well as any structural embeds required for their systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the Werner Systems manufacturing plant, components are moved throughout the facility to construct the unitized panels. To assemble the panels, heavy materials must be moved between workstations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a long time, Werner Systems moved the parts manually. Groups of four to six workers were required to lift each unit and move it from station to station throughout the plant. However, moving the heavy parts and components manually was inefficient and unproductive, as it was slow and took workers from more useful tasks. It was also unsafe, since strains from overexertion were always possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To improve the operations, several jib cranes were installed to lift and move the heaviest components. When Werner Systems moved into a new plant, a new solution was required. Managers at the new plant worked with Spanco dealers at Facilities Engineering, a material handling solutions provider based in Anaheim, California, to find the best solution for their application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3064,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3017","case_study","type-case_study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
