Beaverswood modular shadow boards deliver cost savings

Improved organisation of tools in the industrial workplace is provided by the newly developed range of Modulean shadow boards from Beaverswood, a specialist in workplace visual communication solutions. Designed to ensure compliance with 5S lean processes, the easy-to-use Modulean system can also boost productivity levels in the workplace, keeping essential tools readily accessible and available for use by employees.

Ease of location due to clear product markings provides rapid identification of equipment in a busy environment, enhancing production levels and reducing errors, while minimising the possibility of cross contamination in hygiene areas.

Designed for maximum flexibility and versatility, the latest series consists of a colour co-ordinated modular board system that can be used individually or linked together for wider applications. Users can also reduce operational costs as workplace standardisation provided by Modulean removes the requirement for designing and installing expensive and time-consuming custom-made shadow boards.

The Modulean range is manufactured from durable, scratch-resistant Foamex and is available in a selection of options to cater for 5S lean process requirements. For example, the 5S information boardis a general information board for 5S and lean management, with an A3 black frame for personalised notices.

Alternatives include a notice board, which comprises four black A4 frames for A4 inserts, and a magnetic easy wipe blank white board with a dry-wipe, write-on surface.

Individual boards are available from £79 to £189, depending on specification, and are supplied complete with dedicated fixings and a black title panel so that users can insert their own printed header for the board.

Jim Roberts, product manager at Beaverswood, says: Modulean is an innovative, cost effective and time-saving solution, meeting the demand for shadow and impactful visual communication boards as companies comply with 5S and lean in the workplace. It reflects a comprehensive package of off-the-shelf highly visible boards that can be used individually or as part of a modular system.”
