Beyond the Chair: How AS Controls Integrates Ergonomics and Safety for a Healthier Workplace

Prioritising Comfort and Safety:

Imagine a workplace where comfort and safety are seamlessly integrated, empowering operators to perform at their best, day after day. This vision is at the heart of AS Controls’ approach to operator consoles and joysticks. We go beyond the chair, offering comprehensive solutions like the ergonomically adjustable FSMMD Pro and the injury-mitigating VNSB2 Joystick, designed to create a healthier and more productive work environment.

Introducing the FSMMD Pro: Ergonomic Control at its Finest:

The FSMMD Pro is an ergonomically adjustable control station, with a vast array of features including seat adjustments, side consoles that can be swivelled and tilted, adjustable footrest, pneumatic height and weight adjustments; all of which contribute to a more comfortable workplace. Other features include various levels of customisation to suit virtually any application. To enhance ergonomics and efficiency, we also offer features like memory settings, allowing operators to easily recall their preferred positions, which greatly simplifies multi-shift environments.

The VNSB2 Joystick: Designed for Injury Prevention:

Our VNSB2 joystick has a “T” Grip sensor handle and is equipped with a push-down mechanical lock. This joystick in particular is specifically engineered to mitigate workplace injuries and promote optimal ergonomic practices.

Real-World Success: Feedback from the Energy Sector:

Earlier this year, we were commissioned to custom build four FS-MFK Control chairs, which have been sent to an Energy from Waste Plant. Once the chairs were installed, one of the engineers commented that they were “very impressive” and that the “installation went really well” too, which is fantastic to hear.

The Long-Term Benefits of Ergonomic Design:

Our custom engineered control chairs and joysticks are meticulously constructed for long-term performance and tailored to your specific requirements, even with challenging spatial limitations. With workers spending countless hours at a time in a control station, comfort and durability is paramount. Prioritising ergonomic design significantly reduces the risk of Repetitive Strain Injuries, leading to less absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, increased productivity, and improved worker morale.
