1. Install Computers Exactly Where Operators Need Them

Shop-floor computer workstations allow staff to use IT systems in industrial locations.

Use a shop-floor computer workstation to position a computer directly on your factory floor. Operators get the full functionality of a computer exactly where they need it, which saves the time they would have spent walking to an office.

Workers enjoy an uninterrupted workflow, and your plant benefits from increased productivity.

Armagard shop-floor enclosures provide robust protection for the computer and monitor of your choice. A mild-steel body prevents physical damage, and an NEMA 4 rating protects against dust and splashing liquid.

Install time-saving workstations in any industrial location:

  • Factories
  • Warehouses
  • Production lines
  • Logistics hubs
  • Workshops

2. Use Industrial Printer Enclosures To Give Staff A Complete IT Solution

Combine your shop-floor computers with dust-proof printer cabinets to give workers everything they need in one place.

Industrial printer enclosures protect virtually any size-compatible label, barcode, or desktop printer. A front-access flap allows easy access to printed materials, giving operators an uninterrupted workflow while keeping the printer safe from industrial hazards.

Printer enclosures are available as standalone units or as combined computer and printer cabinets.

3. Choose From Custom Options To Create The Ideal Workstations For Your Staff

  • Versatile mounting: Position workstations in the most productive location, using wall, worktop, or stand mounting (stands available separately).
  • Available in a range of sizes: Choose compact computer cabinets that fit in tight locations or widescreen computer enclosures that give staff a large display to work on.
