The art of technology
ROL Ergo develops office furniture
that helps improve employee health.
Its sit-stand desks are based on the
principle that people are built for
movement. Working standing up
relieves strain on the body and burns
three times as many calories as sitting.
Working smart is the goal of ROL Ergo’s
Intelligent Office and Intelligent Desk
software, which help employees
navigate “hotel” style office
management. Employees can reserve
workspaces with Intelligent Office
and use Intelligent Desk to set up the
sit-stand desks they are using that
day with their personal information.
ROL Ergo’s manufacturing and
operations are equally progressive. It is
constantly developing green solutions
that give customers added value and
benefit the community, too. It monitors
environmental impact throughout the
manufacturing process at its facilities in
Sweden, the United States, China, and
Lithuania. As requested by its customers
ROL Ergo, based in Jönköping, Sweden, is the world’s top supplier of custom-made electric
sit-stand desks. It believes in working healthy and smart.
– some of the leading furniture
suppliers in the market – it optimizes
material usage to ensure the least
possible environmental impact.
Customer challenges
ROL Ergo’s products are cutting edge,
but the building systems at its
20,000-square-meter production facility
in Jönköping needed upgrading because
they created operational challenges.
It was difficult to produce the number
of products ordered by customers
without disruption. The systems also
hindered the company’s ability to run
and operate the facility in the most
efficient way possible and to protect
its intellectual property.
Problems included frequent false fire
alarms that required evacuating all
150 people, which led to losses in
productivity. No spare parts were
available for the intrusion system, and
part of the access control system had
been shut down because the card
access equipment was broken. The
comfort system was also difficult to
manage. “To adjust the ventilation
system to holiday settings, I had to
change the parameters by changing
cards in four places,” said Dan Lindholm,
ROL Ergo’s Facility Manager.
In addition, the existing systems did
not provide the type of information that
makes it easier to meet sustainability
goals. “I needed a system that
generates reports about water, gas,
electricity and inergen consumption
for all areas in the production facility,”
said Hasse Pettersson, ROL Ergo’s
Technical Manager.
