June is National Safety Month — and there's no better time to ask the hard question:
Is your guarding system protecting your people, or just checking a compliance box?
The best guarding solutions do far more than keep workers away from hazards. They reduce downtime, protect equipment, and actually improve productivity.
We wrote about it. Worth a read.

One missing fastener can stop an entire build.
When you're designing with 80/20 in SolidWorks, the component list adds up fast — profiles, fasteners, joints, panels, hardware. Every detail counts.
AutoQuoterSW® tracks it all in real time as you design. When you're done, your complete bill of materials is ready to export. Nothing forgotten. Nothing to compile manually.

80/20 just added a new profile to the T-slot family — built specifically for corrosive, non-conductive, and thermal environments.

Our Fiber Reinforced Polyurethane (FRP) Profile is made with 80% fiberglass and 20% polyurethane resin — a non-metallic framing option designed for spaces where standard aluminum isn't the best fit.
- Corrosion resistant — ideal for coastal, humid, or chemical-exposed facilities
- Electrically non-conductive — built for EMI/RFI-sensitive environments and equipment enclosures
- Thermally non-conductive — a natural fit for data centers and heat-sensitive applications

Same modular T-slot system. New material. Built for the environments that need it.

Most workstation designs fail before the first bolt is tightened.
Not because of the materials. Not because of the budget. Because nobody asked the right questions at the start.

This free printable field guide changes that. Built to be used every time you design or review a workstation — not just read once and forgotten.
Inside:

- How to define proper reach zones and work heights
- How to design for seated, standing, or mixed tasks
- How to position tools and consumables to reduce strain and wasted motion
- How to build workstations that adapt as your processes evolve

Did you know? 74% of lean manufacturers report productivity gains of over 40% — without heavy capital investment. 📊

The secret isn't spending more. It's eliminating waste smarter.

Kaizen — continuous improvement — drives lean success. But it requires systems that can adapt as fast as your ideas.

The 8 wastes (motion, waiting, defects, overproduction, transport, inventory, over-processing, unused talent) cost manufacturers time and money every single day.

Modular, reconfigurable workspaces are one of the most overlooked tools in the lean playbook.

80/20 T-slot aluminum framing helps you:
→ Eliminate wasted motion with ergonomic, custom-built workstations
→ Reconfigure production zones without downtime
→ Integrate automation and robotics seamlessly
→ Scale your systems as production demands shift

Small changes. Big results. That's lean.
