When expanding or relocating isn’t an option, making the most of your existing space becomes essential. As businesses grow, they often find their facilities stretched to the limit - and that’s when smart space optimisation strategies are essential. In today’s blog, we explore how hygienic storage solutions can help you maximise every inch and keep your operations running efficiently.
Modular furniture
Choosing modular furniture (such as stainless steel tables, workstations and shelving units) to kit out your workspace provides flexibility for future room configurations and offers an efficient approach to space optimisation. This allows rooms to be quickly reconfigured as production needs shift to accommodate new processes or adjust to seasonal demand.
Versatile equipment
Another highly effective tactic is to choose furniture and equipment that serve multiple functions within the same footprint. A good example of this is seating benches that feature built-in storage. This allows you to combine seating and shoe or PPE storage, keeping crucial items easily accessible and streamlining changing areas. Similarly, by including hygiene stations in your changing room flow, you can combine handwashing, sanitising and shoe cleaning facilities within its’ compact, one-step process. This not only saves valuable space but also improves workflow efficiency by reducing cross-contamination risks and removing room for human error during rushed changing room protocols. By investing in multifunctional solutions, companies can create a more organised and space-optimised production or laboratory environment.
Storage solutions
The installation of easy rider shelving systems can help maximise the space of a pre-existing storage room with multiple shelving units gliding easily on ball-bearing runners – even while carrying loads. By eliminating the need for fixed walkways, the system can double available storage within the same footprint with a maximum payload between the two roller chassis of 600kg. These floor rails are non-invasive and quick to install with no drilling required enabling full dismantling for relocation or deep cleaning. Offering adjustable shelf heights, this storage solution can be adapted to your storage needs, reducing the chance of rips or tears in the packaging of sterile equipment.
Another solution for larger storage requirements is the coupling of our 200L tote bins with our racking system. Completely customisable to your production area, this modular system has been designed to easily expand as your needs evolve with separate components and upright sections available to purchase alongside our ready to buy kit providing an initial storage capacity of nine tote bins.
Bespoke service
Our bespoke and custom services are also available to help optimise your space – whether that is by modifying the dimensions of an existing product, adding storage or incorporating features to make your processes more efficient. Just get in touch with our sales team and we’ll work with our in-house design experts to find the best hygienic solution for your needs.
