Manufacturing facilities use wall-mounted shadow boards to organise tools and equipment close to production areas.

Boards can be designed for:

• Assembly tools
• Machine-adjustment tools
• Changeover equipment
• Quality-control instruments
• Maintenance tools
• Cleaning equipment
• Production accessories
• Operator equipment

A board assigned to a particular machine or production line helps prevent tools from being moved into another department.

This can be particularly useful during shift handovers, equipment maintenance and production changeovers.
