Case study: Securing the sling storage area and improving responsiveness for an industrial laundry

In industrial laundries, operator safety and efficient breakdown management are crucial issues. One of our recent collaborations highlighted these challenges. Our customer, an industrial laundry, was faced with a sling storage area, identified as dangerous for its teams. In addition to safety risks, the laundry needed better reactivity in the event of intervention on its slings, to minimize production stoppages.

After identifying the challenges faced by our customer, we carried out an in-depth audit of the soiled linen sorting area in order to propose a tailor-made solution. We redesigned and secured the workspace to eliminate risks, while deploying a rapid troubleshooting system to guarantee effective intervention in the event of a breakdown or malfunction.

Here are the actions taken:

1. Deployment of a security platform with a rapid recovery system
 A security platform has been set up to ensure immediate intervention in the event of a breakdown. This enables equipment to be brought back into service quickly, reducing production interruptions and optimizing operational performance.

2. Securing the high-risk area 
The area has been redesigned to comply with the most stringent safety standards. This included installing protective devices, modernizing safety equipment and optimizing ergonomics to improve operators’ working conditions.

Thanks to our intervention, the customer saw several immediate improvements:

•  Optimal safety and risk reduction: The work area, now compliant with safety standards, offers a safer, more reliable environment for operators, with optimized risk management.
•  Increased responsiveness: The new platform enables rapid intervention in the event of breakdown, ensuring maximum continuity of service.

At OCA, we know that when it comes to safety and maintenance, every minute counts. That’s why we place responsiveness and security at the heart of our actions. We are always ready to listen to our customers, and do our utmost to offer them innovative, tailor-made solutions that enable them to work in the best possible conditions.
