Symbiote Systems Products
Symbiote offers three systems for building the infrastructure of today’s workplace. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the needs of the workplace. All three are modular systems of frames, tables, racks, posts and beams that provide structure for an endless variety of customized work spaces.
A heavy-duty steel frame system built for strength, low vibration and durability holding a wide variety of adjustable work surfaces, racks, shelves and semi-custom accessories.

 A lighter weight but highly configurable post and beam system providing the infrastructure for semi-custom work stations, work benches, tables, shelves and accessories.

 QuadPost with extruded aluminum connectors for adding custom-built accessories made of T-slot extrusions, offering the highest capability for customization.

There are several factors that will help determine which solution is best for your workplace.

Permanence. Will the workplace remain in this configuration for a few months or a few years? Symbiote’s UltraFrame solutions are more appropriate for a space that won’t be changing very much, but its QuadPost structures are more easily adapted for new configurations. QuadPost Plus is a hybrid solution that factors industrial lumber into the equation for even more short-lived production lines.

Strength. Most high tech facilities deal with lightweight products and materials making QuadPost and QuadPost Plus solutions more than adequate.

Customization. Traditional workplaces were most often designed and built at the macro level while facilities in the InBetween Workplace are more often designed from the micro level with highly customized workspaces built for individual workers and the tasks that they perform. Customization to the idividual task is an important consideration in today’s high tech workplace.

Adaptability. Traditional workplaces tend to have a low level of adaptability. The materials used to build them are seldom useful when the facility has to be redesigned. Adaptability is more important in the technical work environment where product lives are short and the workplace must be repurposed regularly. In general, the more customization a work station requires, the less adaptable it will be when the facility must be redesigned.

Cost. Cost is always a factor, but in general, a larger investment in designing and building an effective and efficient workplace will result in higher returns in the future. Real costs can be difficult to analyze. A more permanent installation may cost more to build initially, but, because of its longer life, cost less in the long run than a more temporary installation. Similarly, a stronger infrastructure may cost more, but will last longer. A facility that requires a high level of customized work stations will cost more to build, but will result in better productivity and worker satisfaction.
