[Ergonomic improvements obtained by the realization of an automatic methane cylinder-storage system in a control station].
In a control station where liquid-methane cylinder for vehicle transport are inspected, the realization of an automatic cylinder-storage system not only managed to reduce space shortage inside the plant so avoiding possible accidents due to collisions between fork lift trucks and gathered cylinders or lorries, but also noticeably improved environment by reducing noise, total dust concentration and whole body vibration transmitted through the seats to lift truck operators.
