Investment in Workshop Layout

Research has shown that over 30% of time in window and door factories is lost to handling and transport. Sashes or frames are picked up, set down, and moved unnecessarily often, resulting in lost production time.

Many companies face a shortage of personnel. Additionally, the average age of production staff has been rising for years, which has led to higher demands for ergonomics. Colleagues often help each other lift components, but the time spent on this could be better utilized. Tryma offers a wide range of tools, workshop equipment, and buffer systems to address this.

These investments are often quickly recouped, as they lead to higher output and lower absenteeism. Moreover, it is far less physically demanding for employees to work in a practical and ergonomically designed workshop.

The available solutions can be broadly divided into manual and automated systems:

  • Manual systems are designed so that a single employee can move each element independently, without assistance. This is achieved through roller conveyors, distribution carts, and buffer compartments. The time savings are significant, as work performed by multiple people often involves waiting, coordination, and informal communication, which costs time before each worker can resume their task.

  • Automated systems transport frames and sashes automatically through the factory using powered roller conveyors and distribution carts. This trend began several years ago in the PVC window industry, but increasingly more aluminum window and door manufacturers are investing in this solution as well.
