At the A+A 2017 in Düsseldorf, the Dauphin HumanDesign Group will focus on health-promoting industrial workplaces. The company has been exhibiting at the international trade fair for personal protection and occupational health and safety for many years. At this year’s event which will take place from 17 - 20 Oc-tober, Dauphin will present integrated furnishing solutions for a wide range of industrial applications at Stand A38 in Hall 10. In addition to its product solutions, the Dauphin Group will present the new “Industry Trainer”, a five-minute exercise and stretching programme as a way of preventing health problems in industrial workplaces.

By presenting application-oriented, integrat-ed solutions for ergonomic, more efficient work in industry, this year’s Dauphin HumanDesign Group stand in Düsseldorf will focus on a key aspect of the trade fair for occupational health and safety.

“human space Cubes” – room-in-room systems for industrial use

Given the need for ever greater productivity, self-contained rooms and areas for breaks are important in industry. Up until now, however, private areas where people can make telephone calls for example were usually reserved for office staff. With the “Bosse human space Cube”, the Dauphin Group is now presenting its proven room-in-a-room system for industrial areas too. The cube can be used in a varie-ty of ways: with optimum sound insulation and absorption, stable tem-peratures and a supply of fresh air, they are suitable not only as man-agerial or factory offices but also as attractive zones for privacy or breaks. The cubes help people to concentrate on their work while re-maining close to production and production processes. For maximum flexibility, a cube can be positioned anywhere in a room – inde-pendently of the building – and can be set up in just a few hours. With the “Bosse Telephone Cube”, visitors to the stand at the A+A can see for themselves the benefits of the room-in-a-room system.

Tec profile – the all-rounder for any area of use

The ergonomics experts from Offenhausen will also present the AGR-certified Tec profile range of industrial chairs. Thanks to various spe-cial models, it is suitable for use in a wide variety of areas – from pro-duction and assembly areas to ESD protection zones and even 24-hour workstations. For the first time ever, the Tec profile is also avail-able in a “MicroSilver” version which, thanks to an antibacterial coat-ing, is the ideal seating solution for areas where hygiene is a priority. By constantly releasing MicroSilver BG™ silver ions, it is proven to permanently reduce levels of bacteria, for example in laboratories or the foodstuffs industry. What is more, the coating remains effective throughout the chair’s operating life and is not affected by mechanical wear or cleaning.

Dauphin Stilo – stylish, ergonomic seating

Whether it be in a managerial office or in production planning, not only assembly and production workstations but also ergonomic solutions for classic desk work are needed in all industrial companies. Dau-phin’s new Stilo office swivel chair meets all the requirements as re-gards ergonomics, design and ease of use, making it ideal for use in these areas. At the A+A, visitors will be able to experience the numer-ous different models in the range.

New “Industry Trainer” – an effective training programme to en-courage exercise in industrial workplaces

Simply purchasing ergonomic furniture and work equipment is not enough. Employees can only get the full benefit of health-promoting work equipment if their working habits are geared to protecting their health and preventing illnesses. With the new “Industry Trainer”, the Dauphin Group will present a brief but effective training programme as a way of preventing illnesses in industrial workplaces. It is designed to encourage employees to include regular phases of exercise by per-forming simple gymnastics and stretches. This helps to prevent ten-sion in the joints and also encourages concentration. Dauphin is providing the “Industry Trainer” in the form of a poster and a brochure – these can be ordered from info@dauphin.de.
