Mercedes-Benz has debuted a new modular van which can adapt it’s form to whatever you need to use it for. Able to accommodate a maximum of 12 passengers, it would certainly adapt well to an ever-changing modern environment, and the needs of a 21st centur…lnkd.in/dcZkwDX

Have you heard of 3D printing? How about Rapid Liquid Printing? Able to print complex objects in just minutes, it would certainly have the upperhand on our now traditional style of 3D printing. #calibration #weighing #automation #system #manufacturin…lnkd.in/dvzjf4e

CDs? Obsolete. We can find different uses for our automated devices when processes change. They can always be adapted or upgraded to suit another purpose. #automation #weighing #systems #innovation #calibrate #system lnkd.in/dckZPEe

People get worried about automation removing jobs from working people, but sometimes it just seems natural to move forwards. Why continue doing things the same way over and over again when we could move onwards and upwards? #automation #weighing #calib…lnkd.in/dnQyMKz

To spread some joy to people waiting for a train this man built a cyclo knitter, a man-powered machine that creates scarves in 5 minutes. User interface makes the difference and an idea as simple as cycling to create a scarf is a great idea. I’m sure…lnkd.in/dijUQWy

This is the Octo-Bouncer and it’s probably better than you at ping pong. The machine calculates the ball’s 3D position from the image processing data it receives and then uses this information to control the orange ping pong ball. Quite fun to watch. #s…lnkd.in/dssy5es

This old lighter had a switch to suit those who preferred to smoke with a pipe! It’s the little touches on our devices (the ones that often get overlooked) that make the experience that much more accessible. #calibration #weighing #manufacturing #automa…lnkd.in/d5X4_CE

There are more robots amongst our workforce than ever before with that number only predicted to rise. Thanks to automation, many companies are able to keep their labour costs down whilst also reducing the strain on their workers. #automation #calibratio…lnkd.in/gQjPXzm

This is a tire making machine perfectly demonstrating how automation keeps things rolling. I’m just grateful we can’t smell this video... #automation #manufacturing #calibration #weighing #machine #systems lnkd.in/dcQ8P2e

Jller is a device that can sort rocks by geologic age. Designed by Prokop Bartoníček and Benjamin Maus, it shows another interesting use for our automated devices. #calibration #weighing #automation #manufacturing #systems #system lnkd.in/dGmDhsq

A cool Stirling engine addition to this mug. The idea is when it stops rotating, your drink has cooled enough to drink. A novel way to ensure you don’t burn your mouth. It’s amazing what you will create when you’ve got some spare time and imagination.…lnkd.in/dCZ28VC

Even parrots are getting into the protective gear trend. The Lentik Lab at Stanford made protective goggles for Obi-Wan the parrot so researchers could map its motion with lasers. Glad that the researchers thought ahead to ensure the safety of all sub…lnkd.in/dbmHYG2

This wax bottle sealer is great to watch. Unfortunately a lot of trips to the pub have been called off for the foreseeable future. But, at least we can all appreciate our long forgotten liquor cabinet, full of christmas presents from distant relatives…lnkd.in/dw49xEf

This is TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas). The Tungsten is used as an electrode to pass a current through a piece of metal to heat it. Whilst we’d like our machinery to stay connected where possible, it’s important that we do the opposite! Do your best t…lnkd.in/gpKprWh

This is what happens when a Bandsaw hits a nail. The little spark you see at the beginning is the nail. The blade starts to deviate. The large sparks are most likely from the blade contacting part of the mill. That was a big nail, Little nails never mak…lnkd.in/gFNgFHF

Has being stuck inside got you wondering weird things? How about how wind turbines are painted? This automated machine allows for feet to stay firmly on the ground whilst the controller sends the robot up into the air to paint. It’s both more cost and…lnkd.in/dY2kmU9

Not able to play Ping Pong with your opponent in isolation? Why not 1v1 with yourself? A great way to get some practice in for when the games begin again. #weighing #calibration #manufacturing #automation lnkd.in/gx_Tt2w

Some of us are getting a little creative since we’ve found ourselves stuck inside the house. One in particular, is finding uses for automation that they weren’t originally designed for. Much like in Monday’s video, this guy found another use for his dro…lnkd.in/gieYWC2

This driverless van has been able to deliver food and supplies to multiple communities since lockdown has started. The vans use lidars, cameras, and deep-learning algorithms to drive themselves and can carry up to a ton in their cargo compartments. Tru…lnkd.in/g4FwwHw
