One of the most compelling emails I had was from a Truss and Wall Fabricator who was appealing to me to help solve an age-old problem. The email went something like this: Wendy, I want to talk to you about some machinery for my factory. I can’t get my workers to come to work, they are either away on holidays, they are sick, or their family is sick – hence I only have half my staff come to work daily – what can Spida do to help? My first thought was: wow, where do I start? Better cutting, better automation – Spida has so many options that could help! Immediately I looked at my stock on hand to see if I had a quick solution to his cutting problems. With quite a few Spida saws in stock, we had a conversation on cutting requirements for his factory and how we could increase his cutting capacity with just one new saw. Could one saw make a huge difference? (Hint: the answer is YES.) He also had a completely manual wall framing line with 10 men who would work on it – but on average only 5 would show up to work on any given day. Could we redeploy the dependable workers so that they were productive and efficient every day? (Hint: the answer is YES.) Continued next page
