How does your company organize tools / 5s in your r&d shop space? I'm a tradesperson turned mechanical technologist. I work in design for a late stage startup. Our shop floor and tool situation is...

Plundered drill indexes, wrenches disappear, etc. I'm from a shop floor background, I've been a part of and know what a successful 5S environment for production looks like. I know what works when it’s all trades and production cells, but... 3 0 replies

System design for Swissflow low pressure flowmeter (which display) Hi everyone, I am designing a system where I need to measure flow in order to regulate it close to but not exceeding 0.5gpm. I already have the flow regulator I will use the McMaster-Carr precision flow adjustment valve 1/4 inch with a 0.51 max flow coefficient (https://www.mcmaster.com/46425K12/). In order to measure precisely the flow so I stay close to 0.5gpm I am considering using the Swissflow low pressure flowmeter, (https://www.daitron.com/sf-800) since it is the only reasonably affordable flow meter I could find that is able to measure flows... 5 0 replies

Is it possible to automate the generation of .pls or .lca files for Angle Groups? 2. Are there specific formats or... 5 0 replies
Automation/ML Engineers work impact on other teams I work for a tech start-up. We have teams whose work is composed of administrative, labor-intensive, manual work. Our engineering team is working on ML and automation models to alleviate the need for humans to do this work. Some of the engineers are anxious that the work they are doing will eliminate the need for their co-workers jobs on the other teams. Have any of you felt this way in your jobs, i.e. that your work might mean fewer employees are needed and you are torn/anxious about that? If... 1 0 replies
