Many laundry owners and managers view ergonomic solutions as simply good for their employees. But good design doesn’t just improve wellbeing, it also boosts the bottom line by increasing productivity. Learn more about how your laundry can work harder for you in more ways than one.
Ergonomic: What does it mean?
Productivity is key for any workplace, and one proven way to maintain and improve this is by incorporating ergonomic design into your employees’ environment.
In practice, this means designing workstations and tasks in a way that minimizes physical strain and discomfort. But what exactly does this look like for on-premises laundry (OPL) operations?
Designed for you
Anyone who does laundry day in and out knows that repetitive physical tasks like loading, unloading, and folding can be pain points that make the job more difficult and reduce productivity. However, by focusing on the physical and cognitive interaction between user and equipment, the latest laundry appliances make each of these motions more comfortable for an all-round effortless experience.
All our Line 6000 commercial washers and dryers, for instance, are certified to international standards of ergonomics and human-centered design. This means they have been user-tested to make sure your operators will feel less tension and strain. In turn, this means that both they, and your business, can thrive.
Taking this one step further, our washers equipped with ClarusVibe controls offer a highly intuitive digital interface with fully customizable programmes. This means that they are the only industry models to have earned the prestigious ERGOCERT 4-star rating – the highest available rating for ergonomics.
While certification and accreditation provide you and your staff with reassurance about the models you are using, you want to know that any investment is making a tangible difference. And that’s exactly what ergonomically designed equipment, like those in our Line 6000, are proven to do.
Tried, tested, tangible
Investing in ergonomic interventions for your OPL can reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders by 59%, with an average decrease of 75% in sick days and a 25% increase in productivity.
The Line 6000 range aids in the reduction of absenteeism by improving operators’ well-being. Through evidence-based anthropometric and biomechanical compliance, products such as the washers, equipped with ClarusVibe controls, and dryers have been designed based on years of professional studies and expertise to ultimately reduce the risk of injury.
Our human-centered design makes your OPL operation simple and stress-free, improving the productivity and morale of your staff while at the same time prioritizing the bottom-line.
