The daily challenges in industrial companies
Too little space in production
There is too little space at the machines, so testing and assembly work takes place at a distance. Errors in production are often detected too late, resulting in rejects or costly rework.
No fixed places
Tools, documents, cleaning utensils, or even bandaging material are often searched for because there are no clearly defined places. Nobody knows exactly where anything belongs.
Time loss due to walking paths
Whether from the workplace to time tracking or from the machine to the test station – long walking paths through the hall cost valuable time and slow down the production flow.
Expensive workplace design
As processes constantly change, workplaces need to be regularly adjusted. This repeatedly leads to investments in new factory equipment.
ABI Work Islands: Create a fully functional workplace even in the narrowest passage
In many companies, space and order are crucial for efficient work. Apfel’s work islands create just that: They offer the opportunity to store various tools, aids, and work materials in an organized and accessible manner – even where there seems to be no space.
Whether as an individually equipped basic version or a pre-configured set for specific purposes. The work island provides solutions for temporary measuring stations, assembly workplaces, or emergency stations with fire extinguisher and first-aid kit, as well as much more.

How you too can create new possibilities with Apfel's work islands
Space-saving solutions for narrow passages
The work islands make the most of even the smallest areas in production. So fully functional workspaces arise where previously there was only unused space.
Flexible perforation grid
The intelligent, combined perforation grid of 10 mm square perforation and 5 mm round perforations allows a flexible attachment with hooks or self-tapping screws.
Three widths for maximum flexibility
All-sided usage for more storage space
Thanks to the clever design, all sides of the work island can be used. This multiplies the storage space without taking up more area.
Expandable with versatile accessories
Whether it’s a storage option, lighting, or vice: The modular accessory range can be retrofitted at any time. Thus, the system grows with the company’s requirements.
