The Sheer Joy of using an Automated System

Filed under: Technology — Tags: — admin @ 12:28 am

Have you heard of many companies that require some sort of automated way of properly packaging their products? Well, about a year ago, Coca Cola Sandston needed an automated system to ensure that products were being packaged properly. The system had to be easy to implement to minimize the impact on bottling operations. In some ways, it was complex enough that it was almost a job for The Green Lantern (warehouse edition) or the like-a hero of sorts who understands material handling to the core. Well, PeakLogix created a PC- based barcode-scanning system. By scanning UPC codes on labels and cans, operations personnel can track raw materials usage and verify that the correct materials are being used. This new automated process gives management oversight into efficiency of production lines, hard data to review on raw materials usage, and the ability to pinpoint errors on the production line and take immediate corrective action.

Finally, after several days of planning, the installation of their automated scanning system was totally done, and all who worked on it rejoiced deep into the night. Bottles of champagne were later found draped all across the facility’s walls. Sort of a unique way of celebrating a job well done. (Yay, e yay!)

A Story about Concrete Installations I Once Was Told

I remember this story like it was yesterday. In 1992, I was in the third grade when we had two people, a man and a frazzled woman, visited our school to talk about the art of decorative concrete installations. An odd thing to talk to third graders about? Well, maybe, but not the way it was presented. You see, it was presented like so. I remember what the two people said with perfect clarity:

Gather round me children, and listen to this! Do I have a grand jackhammer? Check. How about my goggles? Yep. Got my giant and majestic booming carton of shot blasters? Check check chewy now. Got my scrapper? Yes! You bet. Betty Du Bet! (The children in the class laughed at this line). Yes mister, I’m all set to visit a very special stained concrete Virginia beach facility that’s been called perhaps the best on planet Earth, and if I may be so bold, the entire world–at least the concrete universe. It’s called decocreteva.com, and they’re quite known all across the land for doing super-duper installations of decorative concrete systems all through the south and deep, especially Virginia . So very swell, they make even Bob Vila blush. (I am not quite certain that the third graders know who Bob Vila was, so I doubt they got this reference.) He was always the grand czar of these types of things. Let me see again. Do I have my grand floor grinder? Check. Got my demolition hammer? Bop! Got my big box of nails? Yes, I do. Welp, time to go then, isn’t it. I am very ready to take a gander at the place because I’ve heard so much about how grand these workers really are.

That was what the two people said, verbatim, in fact. Odd that I remember it. Yes, but, hey, stranger things have happened. Much, much stranger things.
