Damage to facility flooring is a hidden but serious risk in every manufacturing and industrial environment, but it can be mitigated.
Read about it on page 22-24 »
Floor condition is critical to maintaining efficiency and productivity because damaged floors can lead to surprisingly high costs. Damaged flooring places workers, productivity and assets at risk. Such damage can create safety hazards and slow down operations, thus incurring greater and more frequent maintenance costs while potentially endangering manufactured goods.

AeroGo is a global leader in providing innovative load-moving solutions to move heavy, awkward or delicate objects. They manufacture air bearings, a technology that uses compressed air to reduce friction and make it possible to float immensely heavy objects, often called "industrial air hockey".
Machine tools can often be prohibitively difficult to relocate after installation, becoming immoveable “monuments,” distorting facility layouts and eroding manufacturing productivity, capacity and throughput. One way to easily move CNC machines and others is by using air bearings or machine skates.

Nolan Centers has joined AeroGo in the new position of Plant Controller. Nolan brings a decade of experience in manufacturing operations and cost accounting. He will be responsible for providing financial direction and recommendations in support of company objectives. His purview includes inventory, software implementation and LEAN initiatives. AeroGo president John Massenburg stated, “The Plant Controller position is critical as we expand operations in the future.”
A “Behind this Door” video offers a peek into a small — but critical — piece of Intel’s manufacturing process: Assembly Test Technology Development (ATTD) factories. In these factories, engineers research and develop the latest testing equipment and processes before they pass them on to Intel's high-volume manufacturing factories, where tens of millions of chips are tested every day. Especially note the video between 1:15-1:36.
