The tools and equipment at the space are color coded and/or labeled to make everything easy to find, use and return. This makes it easier to implement the philosophy of A place for everything and everything in its place.
For the purpose of labelling, zone (or area) and sub-zone are defined as following: Zone (or area): A specialized physical division of the space, each with it's own Area Czar. For example: Electronics, Woodworking, Metal Working etc. Sub-zone: A sub-section or a group of tools within a Zone. For example: Within the Metal working Zone, we have different sub-zones like TIG welding sub-zone, lathe sub-zone, Milling sub-zone, etc.
Zone Colors
Each zone is assigned a color to be used for labelling the tools and equipment belonging to that zone. The following colors were identified for various zones in discussions with the respective area czars:
- Hospitality (including concessions and the hangout area) -
- 3D Printing/Scanning -
- Arts & Crafts -
- Leatherworking -
- Electronics -
- Fabric Arts -
- Woodworking -
- Metal Working -
- Lasercutting -
- Classroom (including A/V systems, administrative storage and server rack) -
- Rental Bays (including work bays, pallet racks, and long goods storage) -
Labelling
A Label consists of the following components:
- Primary identification: Identifies Zone
- A solid color representing the assigned zone (see #Zone Colors), filling the entire band or sticker used for labelling
- It should be prominent and clearly identifiable from a distance of 6 feet
- Secondary identification: Optionally identifies sub-zone within a Zone
- A secondary mark (in the shape of a different colored inlaid solid circle or square)
- It is optional, at the discretion of the Area Czar
- It should not overpower the primary identification
- It should be prominent only when the tool is in close proximity
Material
The labeling material used should be resilient enough to sustain normal usage of the tools and equipment. Area Czar/Czarina may identify the material to be used for the tools in their respective areas.
Guidelines
- The label should be clearly visible
- It should not interfere with the normal usability and safety of the tool
Type
Mobile tools: a colored band is applied to tool Fixed tools: a rectangular KM inventory sticker (to be designed) with zone color and tool name
