The International Pharmaceutical Industry Journal Spring edition features an article describing a proven option to optimize production efficiency: air casters. Read the entirety of the article on the PDF or on pages 40-43.
Moving multi-ton, delicate structures through the different stages of their terrestrial lifecycle is easier said than done. Traditional material handling solutions, such as cranes or transfer carts, can struggle with the weight of their payloads or risk the safety or integrity of the spacecraft, the facility, and workers. So, how do space agencies such as NASA solve these challenges? Simple: before they launch into space, they float on air.
Determine the best load movement system to move pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing equipment, biotech machinery, and medical equipment in clean room and other controlled environments.
Born out of the same technology used by hovercraft and air-hockey
tables, air casters from AeroGo Inc., Seattle, WA (aerogo.com), allow
massive structures to float on a thin, nearly friction-less film of air.

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.
