Safety around heavy machinery is a must. Light curtains offer an ingenious—and inexpensive—way to protect your employees. 

OSHA, the Occupational and Safety Health Administration, makes a big deal about workplace safety, and for good reason. Every year, thousands of workers sustain serious injuries, such as amputations, due to improper machine guarding. 

Light curtains are a simple solution to this problem. Learn more about how light curtains work and how to buy a light curtain at iGAM below! 

Hoists offer a simple solution for lifting heavy, awkward equipment or objects. 

Humans and industrial robots have their limitations, especially when it comes to heavy lifting. 

Even the strongest industrial robot will struggle to lift a load with weight that is unevenly distributed. These cumbersome objects can cause your productivity to plummet. 

Thankfully, hoists can easily lift these types of objects without putting anyone’s safety at risk. Learn more about hoists and where to get one at iGAM below. 

An easy way to increase productivity without adding industrial robots to your facility is by installing an RTU on the warehouse floor.

2020 was a difficult year that challenged every industry. Now, in 2021, businesses are encouraged to implement this one tool to restore growth. 

Business owners who lasted through the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic are resilient. They survived through one of the toughest markets in history, struggling through shuttered doors and a drop-off in consumer activity. 

However, this year, businesses need to start using automation to stay competitive. In a world where faster is better, automation offers a way to increase efficiency.

Dust might seem like it's only a nuisance, but letting dust go unchecked in manufacturing environments can be dangerous. 

A safe work environment is a productive work environment. There’s a lot that goes into maintaining safe work conditions in manufacturing, and that includes air quality and dust levels. 

Dust may seem innocent, but it’s not, as we illustrate below. 

Check your dust levels and learn more about iGAM’s UAS BDC-22 Baghouse Dust Collector System to keep your facility clean. 

Safety is key in manufacturing. Ergonomics play a big part in safety for manufacturing employees, which is why it is important to provide accessible workspaces for your staff. 

If you have ever been involved in a workplace injury, you know how detrimental it is both to the injured individual and the company. 

Worker safety should be a priority for every company. With access structures, manufacturers can rest assured that their employees will be well-equipped to perform their jobs without unnecessary risk.

Using a tilt table is a simple and effective solution to provide workers with accessible and ergonomically-sound workspaces.

When it comes to improving accessibility in your production line, however, there is an easy answer! Getting a tilt table offers safe and ergonomic workspaces for your employees, among other benefits.

A pedestal spot welder can achieve consistent and fast welds, ultimately improving your bottom line. 

Welding is one of the most popular applications in manufacturing. Welding materials together creates strong joints, allowing manufacturers in industries like automotive and construction to create quality products. 

Welding can also take time if you aren’t using robotic welders or pedestal welders. If you want to increase production efficiency and reduce lead time, consider getting the Chowel ASP-750-18F Pedestal Spot Welder at iGAM!
