One of my best friends (Matthew Gallagher) is an account rep for FARO Technologies. I have the privilege of nerding out over QA, reverse engineering, and use cases for this hardware/software. Wild amounts of accuracy - and a good example of how an ROI/ROA analysis could shift mindsets on automation enhancements. Additionally, a great conversation starter for us.... Why "own" an asset like this if you are going to be upgrading in 3 years? How are older fleet assets being phased out with obsolescence? How does the business dispose of "cutting edge" tech that will be turned over to remain competitive? How will an asset or automation enhancement similar to this reduce overhead? DM me if your business is in growth mode! These are areas my team and I can add value!

Keep the Momentum Going: Saturday’s episode of Driven by Simulation! Our binge-watch continues with the weekend’s second installment of the "Driven by Simulation" series. Settle in and prepare to be amazed by the groundbreaking advancements in driver safety. When you have as many as 40 cars tailgating each other at 200 miles per hour for more than 200 laps, it only takes a split second and a single misstep to cause a pile up. Undoubtedly stock car racing is dangerous — which is why NASCAR goes to extremes to ensure drivers walk away safely. ensure drivers walk away safely. Simulation enables the racing organization to continuously evolve its Next Gen vehicle designs to mitigate risk on the track. 📺  Watch how simulation is enabling risk mitigation in ‘NASCAR Simulates Safety with Next Gen Car’ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ejNGuQxW Stay with us throughout the weekend for more episodes and deepen your understanding of simulation technology! #Simulation #Engineering #DrivenBySimulation #TechInnovation

Lucid Motors has a game-changing secret weapon, and it's the size of an Xbox but packs the punch of a BMW M3! Picture swapping out an M3's engine and transmission with a mere 35kg powertrain that matches the horsepower – that's Lucid's mini motor magic. This groundbreaking technology isn't just a whisper; it's already making waves as the "Regen motor" in Formula-E. January 2023 dropped the bomb, but somehow it slipped under the radar. Think about it: improved torque, enhanced reliability, and bye-bye tailpipe emissions. Lucid Motors is paving the way for a vehicular revolution. The mini motor isn't just a component; it's a catalyst for a new era of miniaturization, reshaping the landscape of how we engineer vehicles and reimagine space. Buckle up for the ride into the future! 🔥🚗 #LucidMotorsRevolution #MiniMotorMarvel #ElectricDreams

Day 2 at United Motorsports Academy for the L.I.M.E 2.0 program, the focus was entirely on suspension systems. Rex Keen led an in-depth discussion on the various suspension systems utilized in both consumer vehicles and motorsports. It was astonishing to learn that even the simplest suspension systems, such as the De Dion design from 1894, still have applications in modern supercars. Keen also delved into the complexities of advanced systems like the Weissach axle developed by Porsche, showcasing the evolution and sophistication of automotive suspension technology. The session was not just theoretical; it also included a hands-on component. Rex Keen demonstrated the suspension system of the F4 cars exhibited at D&O Motorsports providing a practical perspective on the intricate mechanics discussed earlier. Additionally, we had brief discussions on essential concepts such as toe, camber, caster, dampers, and steering systems. These discussions helped to build a comprehensive understanding of how these elements influence vehicle performance and handling. #vehicledynamics #formula1 #learning #suspension #UMA

Harley-Davidson X440: Should You Buy One? The Harley-Davidson X440's launch was overshadowed by the Triumph Speed 400 arriving just days later and there was a moment when it looked like the Hero-Harley project was all at sea thanks to Bajaj-Triumph's timing. But when you ride the Harley-Davidson X440, a completely different picture emerges, says Shumi. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dHZKXY_d - MotorInc View is our opinion on a vehicle after we've spent time with it, having a close and thorough look at what it does well, what it cannot and how we think it will fit into your life. - #MotorInc #MotorIncView #HarleyDavidson #HarleyDavidsonX440 #HarleyX440 #HeroMotorCorp #heroharley #TriumphSpeed400 #RoyalEnfieldClassic350 #REClassic350

My hot take - the Oscar news cycle will last ~24-48 hours, but many in my world talk about life Before Barbie and After Barbie, and I think that’s a more accurate barometer for successful art in 2024  #oscars2024 #barbiemovie #mattel #justken #kenergy 

Tubular chassis were mainly used in race cars due to the unrivalled safety they provide. These were an upgrade from the ladder chassis as they were three dimensional and were stronger than ladder chassis. They employed the use of a strong structure below the doors to get more overall strength. Tubular chassis are rarely used on passenger cars. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
