Very interesting insight Paul. I thought of a few technologies/innovations that I feel have really made a difference in the way we do things today.
- Quality/inspection - Inspection has come a long way within the last few years. More vision systems, laser scanners, and cameras are placed on the line (not all may be on one line). These innovations help take hands free measurement. Also gives quick/accurate information to the Engineers and Quality control personal.
- CAD - Overall bottle designs have changed thoughout the years as well. Computer Aided Design programs such as Unigraphics, Solid Works and Pro E are continuously changing to meet customer and industry demands. This helps to reduce the time it takes to create and change bottle designs.
- Manufacturing - Manufacturing has come a long way. New alloys, 5 axis machine centers, and Ceramic cutting tools help increase accuracy and reduce the time it takes to create production tooling.
