Global leader ensures quality with bott avero

Dallmeier Electronics, a global leader in video security systems, was looking for a reliable and flexible partner to set up 50 new workstations for manual assembly. The company manufactures high-quality electronic devices in Regensburg using a streamlined flow production process, where components transition efficiently from station to station. This demanding workflow required workstations that are both electrostatically protected (ESD) and conductive to safeguard the sensitive components of the cameras from uncontrolled electrical discharge.

Beyond holding heavy cameras, Dallmeier now needed new workstations to also support and tilt the equipment, enabling employees to maintain a comfortable and ergonomically favourable posture during assembly. They also needed the assembly line setup to prioritise optimising material and tool accessibility. Containers needed to be easily reachable and adjustable without tools, allowing workers to adapt them quickly and efficiently to suit their needs.

Dallmeier chose bott as the ideal solution for their assembly line needs.

The need for new workstations

A critical aspect of the new workstations was an ergonomic design. Our avero workstation system has proven to be the perfect solution for creating an ideal working environment at Dallmeier. At the start of the assembly line planning process, we conducted a workshop with Dallmeier employees to focus on their ergonomic principles. Together, we identified the key criteria for production and material flow. The result was a workspace designed for short distances, optimal ergonomics, and a quiet, pleasant atmosphere. By reducing physical strain on employees, we’ve observed long-term benefits in both their health and motivation.

Stefan Renner, Team Leader for Camera Production at Dallmeier, shared:

When designing the 50 new workstations, our priority was creating the best possible ergonomic working conditions. In our camera production, we use flexible standing/sitting workstations, ergonomically shaped chairs, and height-adjustable assembly benches. With the bott avero system, we've significantly boosted productivity.

Opting for bott, Dallmeier ensures ergonomically optimised conditions for manual assembly. Adjustable material shelves can be easily repositioned by employees, allowing customisable positions. The adaptability of each modular workstations allows a seamless flow of production of the equipment. With integrated monitors providing step-by-step assembly instructions, the setup enhances processes and significantly improves efficiency.

Modular workstations maximising efficiency

Within the assembly line system, bottBoxes hold materials and small parts, while perfo panels with tool carriers organise tools and components neatly within reach. Additionally, employees can swivel and tilt workpieces on the assembly carrier, providing easy access to internal components while minimising strain on their backs.

We also collaborated with lsarcad to integrate an innovative roller track for returning workpiece carriers. Employees simply push an empty carrier to the end of the line, where a light barrier triggers an automated system to return the carrier to the start of the production line. This eliminates the need for employees to manually lift heavy carriers, further enhancing safety and efficiency.

Simplifying material flow

The system is designed on a modular principle, providing maximum flexibility to adapt and reconfigure workstations to individual needs, ensuring investment security in uncertain economic times or with rising demand for customisation. All components of the system are available in an ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) version, with conductive surfaces vital for preventing internal damage to microelectronic components from electrostatic discharge. This minimises risks, ensuring high product quality and long-term cost efficiency.

When choosing bott, customers benefit not only from our durable, premium products but also from a comprehensive range of services, including personalised consultations, site visits to determine optimal integration with existing processes, workstation installation, and follow-up support.
