Improve Safety - Straub Design

Safer Workplaces Without Sacrificing Productivity

Explore Automation Systems

Industrial environments demand speed, precision, and consistency—but not at the expense of worker safety. Straub Design automation solutions are engineered to reduce manual handling, repetitive motion, and exposure to hazardous processes while helping manufacturers improve throughput and reliability.

Automation isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about creating safer, more sustainable working conditions for the people who keep your operation running.

Where Safety Risks Commonly Occur

Many tape application and material handling processes rely heavily on manual labor or inconsistent semi-automation. These environments often introduce:

• Repetitive motion injuries from hand-applied tape and materials
• Operator fatigue caused by high-volume, labor-intensive tasks
• Inconsistent application leading to rework, jams, or unsafe machine interaction
• Increased risk during changeovers, adjustments, and maintenance
• Dependence on skilled labor in environments facing staffing shortages

Straub Design solutions are engineered to eliminate or significantly reduce these risks by automating the most demanding and injury-prone steps in the process.

Reduced Manual Interaction

By automating tape application and material handling, operators spend less time directly interacting with moving parts, sharp edges, or high-force mechanisms.

Hands-off or low-contact operation
Fewer opportunities for pinch points and strain injuries
Reduced need for operators to work inside active machinery

Ergonomic Process Design

Straub solutions are designed with operator
ergonomics in mind.

Automation replaces repetitive, high-strain tasks
Reduced lifting, reaching, and awkward body positioning
More consistent workflows that reduce fatigue over long shifts

Consistent, Predictable Operation

Manual variability is a safety risk. Automation introduces consistency.

Precise, repeatable tape application
Reduced machine jams and product handling issues
Fewer unexpected stops that require operator intervention

Consistency improves not only safety—but quality and uptime as well.

Safer Changeovers and Adjustments

Straub equipment is engineered for intuitive setup and controlled adjustments.

Reduced need for manual fine-tuning
Clear access points and logical controls
Integration-friendly designs for OEMs and system builders

This minimizes exposure during one of the most injury-prone phases of production.

Improved safety doesn’t exist in isolation—it directly supports broader operational goals:

Higher throughput
Optimized labor
Reduced waste
Improved sustainability
Lower total cost of ownership

Automation allows safety improvements to scale as your operation grows.

Straub Design automation solutions support safe working conditions across a wide range of industries, including:

Packaging and converting
Solar manufacturing
Medical device production
Printing and finishing
Industrial and specialty manufacturing
Construction and building materials
Appliance and electronics manufacturing

Whether you’re integrating into an existing process or building a new automated system, safety is designed in—not added later.

Safety doesn’t end once equipment is installed.

Expert consultation to understand your process and risks
Custom-engineered solutions for your production environment
Ongoing service, parts, and support as processes evolve
Proven designs backed by decades of automation experience

Straub Design stands by its equipment—and its customers—from design through long-term operation.

If safety, labor optimization, and operational reliability are priorities in your facility, Straub Design can help.
