Tech is Taking over the World

A not very common spanner, this M30. And this is not even the biggest one we will use for the #BotanicalGreenhouse in Sweden. We put one next to it, which we all have in our toolbox, to express the size. Pretty impressive right? https://lnkd.in/eHxRbxxZ #KnowledgeBasedBuilder

Thoughts on #IndustrialAutomation from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock At the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, (SPOILER ALERT) Spock is killed saving the Enterprise. At the end of the movie, they fired his body out of a photon torpedo to what was supposed to be his final resting place, the Genesis Planet. However, for elaborate reasons of Vulcan physiology and the unique regenerative properties of the Genesis planet, Spock’s body regenerated. (Yes, I’m skipping a lot, deal with it.) When Kirk discovered Spock was not dead, he decided to go back to Genesis to save his friend, but Starfleet Command put a quarantine around the planet. This wasn’t going to stop Kirk. All he needed was a starship, the #Enterprise. The problem was, he wasn’t going to get a crew - and a constitution class starship needs a crew of between 200-400 people. What he did have was Scotty. And what did Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott do? He automated an entire starship. And once he did, as he put it: “A chimpanzee and two trainees could work her!” And with that, off they were off to the Genesis planet. Unfortunately and unbeknownst to them, the Klingons were already in orbit. As the Bird of Prey de-cloaked directly in front of them, Scotty quickly fired two photon torpedoes. As the Klingons recovered from the impact and brought their ship to bear to return fire, the Enterprise attempted to raise shields. But something was wrong. As scotty put it, “The automation system is overloaded. I didn’t expect to take us into combat, you know!” The Klingons returned fire and knocked out the automation system leaving the Enterprise “...a sitting duck.” This wonderful piece of science fiction perfectly describes the benefits and threats of industrial automation. Advanced manufacturing demands effective adoption of automation. But, as more and more of your operations become automated, you become vulnerable to unexpected changes (and increasingly dependant on your automation technology). Modern manufacturers can not escape the need for industrial automation. For manufacturers looking to adopt better automation technology on their shop floors, remember the lessons of Star Trek III: - Always expect to ‘go into battle’ and program your automation accordingly - Have a plan for if your automation systems fail - Any good automation technology is only as good as the people running it - Even the most advanced automation can not replace a competent crew #AdvancedManufacturing #StarTrek #KlingonBirdOfPrey #Automation #Spock #USSEnterprise Automate Canada

🚀 Inspiring Lessons from Kitty Hawk 🌟 I'm excited to share insights from my recent trip to Kitty Hawk, the historic site where the Wright brothers made their dream of flight a reality! Their pioneering spirit continues to resonate with me and our mission at Pepperplane. From a young age, I was fascinated by flight—building balsa wood models and feeling that magical thrill as they soared through the skies. Today, my passion remains strong as I follow trailblazers like SpaceX. This love for aviation inspired us to name our company Pepperplane, dedicated to elevating experiences through innovative design. Working with my sister to co-found Pepperplane feels like a modern-day echo of Wilbur and Orville's adventure. We embarked on this journey with a shared mission: To create a better world through design for everyone. Our visit to the Kitty Hawk museum highlighted key lessons that shape our design process: ## 🔄 Iteration The Wright brothers exemplified the power of iteration. They began with their MVP, the Kite, and refined their designs until they achieved the Flyer, the first powered airplane. Their relentless commitment to prototyping teaches us about persistence and continuous improvement. ## 🤝 Collaboration Collaboration was pivotal to their success. Working with local Coast Guard members to launch their plane shows that great ideas flourish when minds unite. I love the story of 11-year-old Tommy, who rode their gliders while the brothers operated from the ground—what an adventure! ## 💪 Determination The Wright brothers' determination was inspiring. Wilbur once said, "We doubted that we would ever resume our experiments...we considered our experiments a failure." This reminds us that setbacks can lead to greater achievements when we stay committed to our vision. Visiting Kitty Hawk was not just about history; it was about drawing inspiration for the future. Like the Wright brothers, we at Pepperplane are passionate about pushing boundaries and creating innovative solutions. Here’s to taking flight together as we move toward exciting new horizons! ✈️✨ #Inspiration #KittyHawk #WrightBrothers #FlightInnovation #DesignThinking #IterateAndInnovate #Collaboration #UserExperience #Pepperplane #Entrepreneurship #TogetherWeSoar ✈️🌟
