# What is a Workstation?

[Workstations, capacity management and maintenance planning](https://www.youtube.com/embed/N1jwVOOVcEk?feature=oembed)

A workstation is a single production resource with its own scheduled work queue and typically handles one task at a time.

The clearest example of a workstation is a production machine with a unique work queue. A workstation can also be, for instance, a welding point, where different individuals weld in the morning and evening.

Each workstation has its own capacity and rules. It can also have one or a group of people working on it. You can define these according to your company in SkyPlanner.
