Sales and Engineering Days: Teamwork and Creativity Take Center Stage Our Sales and Engineering Days are in full swing! – and it's been a resounding success. Alongside exciting workshops and informative presentations, we naturally focused on building team spirit. Our Team Event: Embodying our Baumann values of Time, Inspiration, Together, we were tasked with creating sculptures from scrap metal that represent these three core principles. Fueled by passion, collaboration, and creativity, the result was three fantastic sculptures that perfectly reflect our culture. The creation of three unique sculptures that powerfully express our Baumann values was a fantastic outcome. However, the true highlight was the team experience itself, which brought us even closer together. #BAUMANNMEDICAL #BAUMANNgroup #SalesandEngineeringDays #Teamwork #Creativity #Time #Inspiration #Together #medicaldevicesupplier

If anyone can turn your ideas into reality, it’s Nu-Way.

Ian Rolston and I got to know each other while working at HOK. We both had a brief stop at Metrolinx where we both pondered how we can leverage our knowledge to do better (design) . He now leads Decanthropy. I listened into his presentation and I am happy that he has not lost sight or hope in creating (or rather designing) a "better world". His view of inclusive design has no boundaries (or exclusions). As I posed the question about legislation or regulation addressing the shortfalls in our design process, he rightfully pointed out that we, the #AEC and Design Industry, need to lead the charge, The MVP (Minimally Viable Product) solutions that "meets" code are not sufficient. From the client side, we also need to do more than lip service on #DEIB initiatives and fund some of the "nice to have" inclusive features that make all spaces accessible. Keep challenging us Ian! Perhaps one path to achieving this is for our design industry to embark on a Hippocratic Oath (similar to the medical profession) and a "First do not harm" approach to design.

At Cad Signs, we've acquired the FLEXIbend, an aluminum bending machine, as part of our drive to streamline operations. This equipment handles materials up to 13 feet long, effortlessly creating shapes and figures upon receiving the necessary information. With its capacity for maximum flexibility in bending cassettes, boxes, and profiles, coupled with its high product design flexibility, the FLEXIbend proves indispensable in our quest for excellence in signage and aluminum profile manufacturing. This investment underlines our commitment to technological innovation for sustainable growth. Embracing these advanced tools isn't just about enhancing processes; it's about empowering our team to work more efficiently and dynamically. At Cad Signs, our dedication to continuous improvement leads us to invest in technologies like the FLEXIbend. Our goal isn't only to enhance operational efficiency but also to cultivate a more dynamic and agile work environment for our talented team. #signs #technology #efficiency #signcompany #signsnyc #signsnj

Thanks to Jason McWilliams from National Flooring Equipment Inc. for sharing an interesting perspective on the #environmental and #financial benefits of using #concrete in flooring applications in this month's issue of Construction UK Magazine. Concrete is known for being a carbon-intensive material. It is, therefore, unsurprising that lots of organisations are working hard to find ways to reduce emissions associated with concrete, for example by reducing the carbon content of cement or by using alternative materials. Jason's article suggests another approach for flooring applications - making the best use of the concrete that has been used to build the foundations of a building. I wonder what #innovation is already happening in this space to provide the processes and tools required to make this happen.

🚀 Exciting Milestone Achieved for #CoventryVLR 🚄 Project! 📢 First phase of integrated system testing complete: We're excited to share that we have successfully completed a critical first phase of integrated vehicle and track testing for the Coventry VLR system. Our team surpassed 2,000 cycles on our 15-meter radius test track at the VLRNIC over two intense weeks, examining crucial factors like vibration, noise emissions, and wheel-rail wear. This milestone not only reaffirms our confidence in the innovative track system and vehicle design but also propels us forward as we prepare for the Coventry city centre demonstrator route; a key step in validating our project's vision. 🎉 Gratitude: Immense thanks to Coventry City Council's key partners; Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom, UKTram, Black Country Innovative Manufacturing Organisation, WMG, University of Warwick, Ingérop, Rendel Limited, AVLS, Anteeo, Arogus International AB, Vertex Systems Engineering, Pandrol, CEMEX UK, Tarmac, Colas Rail UK, Galliford Try, Thorp Precast Limited, Construction Fixing Systems, HET Elastomertechnik GmbH, Riecken Maschinenbau GmbH, Murphy Geospatial, Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland, GEISMAR, Interflon and many others! Your expertise, collaboration, and contributions, including in-kind support, have been crucial to achieving this milestone. #CoventryVLR, #CVLR ,#TransportationFuture, #MobilityRevolution, #SustainableDevelopment, #Innovation

Yes, we can do things quickly but more importantly we provide you with the lessons that we have already learned, reducing risk, adding value to your programme and ensuring the scope of work is clearly understood 📆

Excited to share some insights from the construction tech panel that Phoebe Zhang moderated at RETCON in NYC last month. 🔎 Openness to Innovation: The construction industry is receptive to testing and trying new technology solutions, a promising sign for the advancement of construction tech. 👥 Stakeholder Buy-in: Technology adoption in the industry often requires multiple stakeholders. Hence, stakeholder buy-in remains a key to success. Focus on removing friction through quick demos, trials, and/or pilots, allowing stakeholders to see and understand the product and value proposition firsthand. 🙋♂️ Identify Innovation Champions: Identifying and empowering innovation champions within the potential customer organization is crucial for both initial adoption and successful implementation. 💵 Articulating Value Proposition: Customers care about concrete benefits (no pun intended). Highlighting benefits such as faster decision-making, ROI, reduced cost, increased productivity, and enhanced transparency is essential for conveying the value proposition effectively. Let's continue to drive progress in construction tech together! #ConstructionTech #RETCON
