Tiles improve warehouse efficiency
OEM Automatic UK markets and sells components for industrial automation, currently representing approximately 50 leading suppliers and acting as their local sales organisation in the UK.
Customers come from all sectors of industrial automation and include machine builders, control panel builders, system integrators and selected strategic distributors.
As part of an initiative to develop the warehouse OEM wanted a floor that would improve the working conditions of its staff and contribute to efficiency. The business also required a flooring system that would reduce – or eliminate – cyclical maintenance and provide a smart, tough work surface.
Manufacturer of interlocking floor tiles Ecotile designs and produces its comprehensive range at its UK production facility – providing durable and safe flooring solutions that can be installed with minimal disruption in commercial and industrial applications around the world.
Logistics manager Adam Lever-Parkin said: “The Ecotile team installed over 500m2 of tiles in 2 days with very little disruption. We used a combination of the standard tiles in the main area of the warehouse where the Reach truck and Bendi truck operate and the anti-fatigue comfort tiles where our operatives are standing for long periods. It has really improved the appearance and the working conditions of the warehouse and after 3 years it still looks great."
