Strong Support for Powerful Sound – Fezer VacuStand in Action at d&b audiotechnik

Fezer’s VacuStand plays a pivotal role at d&b audiotechnik’s production facility in Backnang, Germany, enhancing both ergonomics and manufacturing efficiency. This case study showcases how vacuum handling technology supports high-performance audio assembly while maintaining operator health and precision.

Efficiency Meets Ergonomics at d&b audiotechnik

Fezer VacuStand is deployed in the production of d&b audiotechnik—recognized worldwide for its cutting‑edge loudspeakers, amplifiers, and immersive software systems used in concerts, theaters, stadiums, and cruise ships.

The VacuStand supports wooden speaker enclosures weighing 30–40 kg during manual finishing, ensuring that each surface is treated without strain and every side is within comfortable reach.

How VacuStand Enhances Manufacturing Precision

During assembly, the VacuStand fixes enclosures securely using vacuum technology, preventing scratches and ensuring stability—even for complex shapes.

As production transitions to electronics integration, smaller VacuStands accommodate precise component insertion, allowing for ergonomic posture throughout every assembly step.

Ergonomics, Safety, and Productivity Gains

VacuStand improves process efficiency by reducing lift time and repositioning effort, while adjustable height supports operators of different statures.

By minimizing physical strain, it reduces injuries and illnesses caused by repetitive lifting, contributing to long-term workforce well-being.

Fezer & d&b audiotechnik: A Case in Industry Innovation

Fezer partnered with d&b to tailor VacuStand solutions for assembly of their premium sound systems. The integration reflects both firms’ commitment to quality and efficiency.

d&b’s mission—“Democracy for Listeners”—is reinforced by manufacturing systems that ensure uniform audio excellence and precision at scale, supported by ergonomic workflows.

Why This Partnership Matters in Manufacturing

This real-world example illustrates how vacuum lifting stands can transform industrial workflows:

• Safe, scratch-free handling of heavy components
• Versatility across varied production stages
• Enhanced productivity and reduced operator fatigue
• Scalable integration with ergonomic benefits

Industrial operators seeking to optimize assembly processes will find inspiration in this collaboration.
