A case study: the collaboration between Agibi Progetti and SFS to enhance ergonomics and efficiency

The collaboration between Agibi Progetti and SFS, a global company, is a great example of how innovation and customization can create tailor-made solutions for a client's needs, improving ergonomics and optimizing production space.

The challenge

SFS Group, a worldwide leading supplier of fastening systems and precision components, had a problem with its production line. The production process involved unloading products at an excessively low height, compelling operators to use a conveyor belt that occupied a significant amount of space and did not ensure an ergonomic working height. This temporary solution wasn't ideal in terms of both efficiency and operator safety and comfort.

The solution: ELT vertical bucket elevator

To solve these issues, SFS turned to Agibi Progetti, a specialist in designing and building industrial handling machinery and heat treatment systems. The solution was the ELT vertical bucket elevator, a compact machine that helped SFS improve production in two important ways: 

1. space saving: the ELT elevator replaced the old horizontal conveyor, allowing SFS to significantly reduce the space occupied by the conveyor belt;

2. ergonomics and safety: thanks to the adjustable discharge height of the ELT elevator, the operator can work at the correct height, avoiding awkward movements or risky postures. This has improved not only comfort, but also productivity and workplace safety.

Customized personalization: safety first

SFS needed a very specific elevator, and Agibi Progetti was up to the challenge. The company required the integration of plexiglass guards to align the elevator with their corporate safety standards. Agibi Progetti was able to quickly design and build a special version of their elevator that met all of SFS's specific requirements.

The collaboration between Agibi Progetti and SFS showcases how a careful analysis of customer needs and the offer of tailored solutions can improve production efficiency, optimize space, and ensure a safer and more comfortable working environment for operators.
