#Increased Speed

[joyandella-123]

Some great advancements come from modern machine controllers

Modern metal fabricating machine controllers have significantly impacted various aspects of the manufacturing process, including workflow, speed, efficiency, accuracy, and manageability. Here's how:

Workflow Improvement: Advanced controllers have software that allows for better planning and sequencing of jobs. This integration can streamline the workflow, reducing the time between design and production. Controllers with advanced user interfaces make it easier for operators to input data, understand machine status, and make quick adjustments, leading to a smoother production process. Operators have a number of options for job entry, such as from a CAD file automatically, manual iinput, or scanning from a paper job sheet.

Increased Speed: Modern controllers have greater speed thanks to improved processing power and algorithms. This allows for faster execution of complex tasks and reduces the cycle time for each part. High-speed processing also enables machines to operate at higher speeds without compromising precision—in fact in many cases, precision is increased along with speed.

Enhanced Efficiency: These controllers often include features that optimize energy use and reduce waste. For example, predictive maintenance capabilities can forecast machine failures before they occur, minimizing downtime. The controller’s software can generate a plan to use multiple stations on a part with multiple bends, for example, allowing the setup to happen in one step instead of many. Or, if a laser cutter is cutting metal plate, it plans the job so that a the laser head moves to different cut areas to allow densely-cut areas to cool before the machine cuts nearby again.

Improved Accuracy: The precision of modern metal fabricating machines has significantly increased with the advent of sophisticated controllers. These systems can precisely control the movement of the machine, leading to higher-quality products with tighter tolerances. Advanced sensors and feedback systems ensure that the machine's performance aligns closely with the programmed specifications, reducing errors.

Better Manageability: Modern controllers are often part of larger networked systems that include data collection and analysis capabilities. This allows for better monitoring and management of the production process. Operators can track machine performance, predict maintenance needs, and optimize production schedules based on real-time data. Additionally, integration with other systems (like ERP or shop planning software) allows for better overall plant management and coordination.

Adaptability and Flexibility: Contemporary controllers enable machines to be more adaptable to different types of jobs. Quick setup changes and easy reprogramming allow for shorter runs of custom or specialized parts, making the production process more flexible to meet diverse customer demands. We live in an age of many short run jobs.

Safety Enhancements: Modern controllers also contribute to safer working environments. They can include safety features that prevent operator error and protect against machine malfunctions. Better precision and control also reduce the likelihood of accidents due to machine errors.

Connectivity and Smart Features: With the advent of Industry 4.0, these controllers are increasingly connected and smart. They can be integrated into a wider industrial network, allowing for remote monitoring and control, predictive maintenance, and enhanced data analytics.

Overall, the impact of modern metal fabricating machine controllers on the manufacturing landscape is profound, leading to more efficient, accurate, and flexible production processes. This technological evolution is a key driver in the industry's ongoing efforts to optimize productivity and quality.

Some of the illustrations and drawings I did for Delta Air Lines Inspired Journeys campaign, in November 2023 at AdColor conference. I interviewed people on their travel stories and drew them, with only 30 minutes to spare for each one.

Afterwards Delta asked for 5 of the drawings to be completed further for use.

this stardew update is the most lovingly crafted update yet. i’m only on summer day 10 so i haven’t seen everything yet, but i have 1k+ hours total in this game and these updates are everything i ever wanted. i mean even just the journal icon showing you a running count of stones/wood/enemies you’ve collected/defeated WITHOUT opening the journal??? wow. the freakin iridium scythe that harvests crops???? FINALLY a sonar bobber? better bait options?!?

like any non-aesthetic mod i’ve ever had has basically been replaced by this update

basilisks and battlements looks so much fun! is it the same rules as D&D? (do you have D&D in your world?)

I love the artwork I wanna see more

I personally haven’t heard of D&D, but there’s a lot of cool games in the TTRPG world so I’m sure it’s fun. Not sure how similar they are though!

And the artwork is fun - helps with the immersion of the story. My vintage copy (which, I think I posted a picture of here before) has some gnarly monsters. Check this guy out!

Spoooky 👁️

today i finally managed not fainting straight to bed and decided to work on this personal project, and while looking for references i encountered this freakishly, utterly, ABSO-FCKIN-LUTELY ADORABLE PAGE

and got reminded how much personality and charm Olde DetCo has, and god, i miss it

I feel like people need to remember Ness is a 93 to Kaiser's 98. He is undoubtedly one of the best players BM has. He's just mentally stuck. When Ness (who in confirmed to appear in later arcs) gets his ego back. His desire to make magic... he's going to blow minds.

Dark beginnings my beloved 🖤❤️

coloring is my least favorite part but now i can start rendering

repost this and claim that it’s yours will bring nothing but shame to yo-

What mod config did you use to get 385% ability strength? (I'm assuming there are also some archon shards involved as well?)

i am what people call actually insane. welcome to the silly zone

Espio had his pants rights revoked when they remade his Sonic Rivals 2 "Racesuit" alternate costume for Sonic Speed Simulator.

please keep me in your thoughts—im trying to beat 32 heat on hades. Thank you💕

[sharky-the-idiot]

all of these look so cool but I am not vibing with that beard I'M SO GLAD HE SHAVED IT OFF

[x1tadpole1x]

would you like to see this fucked up little shadow the hedgehog toy i got today??

Ooo, do you have a favorite type of plant? Honestly I adore any and all plants with a succulent body plan - so cute and blobby!

SUCCULENT GANG!

I have a bunch I’ve managed to grow, it was so cool to see them in person for the first time! So blobby and fun! Really felt like an honour, the same with any specimen I get my hands on!

And for your first question, I couldn’t pick a favourite. They’re all so fascinating and beautiful in their own ways 💚
