ergonomics@work!® (work station systems)

Sophisticated workstation solutions with ergonomics@work!®

SSI SCHAEFER has long understood the fundamental importance of ergonomics. The famous “SCHAEFER box”, our storage fix box, is the result of sophisticated ergonomic design. SSI SCHAEFER now offers the broadest and most advanced portfolio of ergonomic work stations for storage and operation.

Even in times of state-of-the-art warehouse automation, human performance remains the factor that determines quality, throughput, and delivery times. Employees perform key tasks in the value chain in the warehouse, at the production facility, and in the office.

As a provider of logistics solutions, SSI SCHAEFER has been a pioneer in ergonomic work stations. ergonomics@work!® was developed as a part of a concept for creating work stations designed to enhance productivity and reduce physical strain. This concept has become an integral part of all SSI SCHAEFER products.

Our concept also includes:

  • Energy-saving materials flow

  • Optimum layout of control elements and displays

  • Clear, simple, and logical user guidance

  • Natural, skin-friendly, and yet robust materials

  • Low-noise operation

  • Integrated fault detection and support for false rectification


We analyze the work processes in advance. In this process, we record manual activities with more than 30 individual procedural steps, for example. This data forms the foundation of the optimum ergonomic solution.

SOPHISTICATED WORK STATION SOLUTIONS WITH ERGONOMICS@WORK!®

With ergonomics@work!®, SSI SCHAEFER pursues four goals within the various product groups:

  • Transporting loads either horizontally only or downward by gravity. This is ergonomic and protects both the back and joints.

  • Avoid unnecessary movements. The work station is designed around the employee. Minimizing movements can reduce time for individual steps and increase efficiency.

  • Clearly designed work station with simple user guidance. This focuses the attention of the employee on each individual step. Adding light sensors and software-based systems further improves quality.

  • The designs and materials are selected to enhance concentration, to enable freedom of movement, and to prevent injuries. We round out the individual elements as needed and manufacture contact surfaces out of wood.


Our Get and Pick Station is one of many good examples of the successful implementation of these objectives. The ergonomic design delivers a quality improvement of up to 300%.

  • Various table and tabletop systems along with lifting tables

  • Work chairs
