Technology Centre chooses bott cubio for new workshops
We have integrated mobile cabinets within the workbench runs, these are stored underneath the workbenches in a practical and tidy design. The workshop focuses on vehicle diagnostics and is equipped with all of the necessary technical equipment to provide the perfect working environment. Bott cubio complements this with functional storage solutions, continuing the optimum learning experience throughout the school.
The school has a very good reputation in the region. Present and past students have pride in having attended Breisach. The syllabus offered is very diverse and offers education and training to around 1500 pupils. Offering a choice of vocational or full time training courses, students can learn basic vehicle technology, or attend specific schools for commercial, passenger, construction and agricultural vehicles becoming a master craftsman in vehicle technology.
As part of my initial research, I was looking for a holistic concept for the new workshop equipment. I became aware of bott through research on the Internet, but also during discussions with other workshop managers and fitters. The versatility and quality of the bott products coupled with a professional appearance convinced me that this was the brand we needed, and in sharing the bott proposal with our sponsor, the district of Breisgau Hochschwarzwald, they agreed with the strong USPs for bott cubio for our project.
I particularly like the very good workmanship. In addition, the possibility to add to the workbenches and cabinets within their modular system. The versatile and highly functional range combined with the professional appearance have been particularly positive for all of the workshop team. The mobile cabinets were very important to us. The classroom looks much more organised and cleaner when the mobile cabinets are stored in the designated bays after use.
The materials used are high quality. The worktops are robust and at the same time not too chunky. We can change the internal components of the drawers and cabinets individually. This was also particularly important to us, as each area has a different working process and its own priorities. For example, the materials used in the commercial vehicle sector weigh slightly more than those in the motorcycle sector.
Our school is not involved in production or repair processes. Nevertheless, the workbenches are used in each lesson, depending on the different teaching unit. The versatility is particularly important. The maintenance and repair work in the individual trades can be carried out effortlessly on the robust workbenches. Due to the colour coded design, it is immediately clear to each student in which classroom the respective mobile cabinet must be returned.
In the workbenches and cabinets, we store pretty much everything from the smallest fuses in the electrical sector to massive spare parts from the commercial and automotive schools. It is very important to us to follow LEAN practices. We have designed the classrooms in such a way that each room has its own focus but at the same time, the rooms have identical basic equipment. Thanks to the uniform design of the bott cubio workbenches and cabinets, we were able to realize this concept very well.
