OKIN implements a weightless device to minimize efforts

People, their safety, and their quality of life are at the core of Okin's decisions. Hence the acquisition of a weightless device with equipment specifically designed to move bundles of boxes from the pallet to the box former, a task that until 2022 was carried out by the human team in the box section and required significant and repetitive physical effort. Therefore, after collaborating with an environmental engineering firm on its design and manufacturing to address existing ergonomic issues, the company acquired a machine last year that captures the movements of the worker's hand and adjusts to the load placed on it to move it from one point to another. This technological advancement helps prevent potential issues related to overexertion.

We understand the importance of providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees, which is why we have worked alongside EMA ERGONOMIA S.L. to incorporate the weightless manipulator into the box former on Line 5 for our operations. By using these devices, we significantly reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, fatigue, and other work-related disorders.

We are committed to further improving the workstations to ensure the safety and health of our employees. To achieve this, we will continue to collaborate with specialized ergonomics companies like EMA ERGONOMIA S.L. to develop innovative solutions that reduce the physical burden on workers and prevent work-related injuries.
