Good example are from the company I'm working for. We are building Custom test station to automated almost any kind of testing for product. Mainly high technology up to very basic. Most of the phone you are using, are tested by some of our product.
So just to probably give some idea to some people out there and at the same time to received comment or amelioration from pro, here is a presentation of my actual setup:

Some picture of it :
The main challenge for me is to isolate the station in a White environment in most of the time very short place. The test station are most of the time to heavy to be move, so I have to put the white floor in piece around it. This station is a Small one

SORRY TO HIDE THE SUBJECT, this station is sold to a customer, so this information is confidential.

Everything has to be portable and movable in Subway or small walk from the car.
