Kwiminyaka engama-60 edlulileyo - kwaye ngakumbi kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo phantsi kobunkokeli bukaMartin Paul - olu xinzelelotshintshaumenziuye wafunda ukuthembela kwinkonzo yabathengi, amaxesha okutshintsha ngokukhawuleza, umgangatho ophezulu wemveliso kunye nabasebenzi abathembekileyo.
iiswitshi piezoelectric dlala indima ebalulekileyo kwiindawo ezingenakubalwa.Banceda ukuguqula uxinzelelo lomoya kunye nokuhamba kolwelo kunye nokuvala, ukugcina uxinzelelo oluqhubekayo lwe-pneumatic kunye nomatshini kuyo yonke into ukusuka kubenzi bekofu ukuya kwiimaski zomqhubi we-oxygen.Ezinye zeCDOE tshintshaesbade badlale indima kwitekhnoloji “yokufunxa” evumela ukuba abantu abakhubazekileyo bakwazi ukulawula ukuhamba kwesitulo esinamavili kunye neminye imisebenzi.
CDOEyenza iintlobo ezintathu zeiiswitshi piezoelectric: intsonkothile, umgangatho ophezuluiiswitshi piezoelectrickwiinkwili nezinye izicelo zomkhosi zingaxabisa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1,300 yeedola.Umbinditshintshaes ngokuqhelekileyo ixabisa malunga nama-300 eedola.Iimodeli ezilula ezisemgangathweni zenza uninzi lweziphantse zibe ngama-400,000+tshintshaes CDOEivelisa ngonyaka ngamnye.Bathengisa phakathi kwe-$13 kunye ne-$25.
Imveliso enolu hlobo lokuguquguquka iya kutsala ukhuphiswano ngakumbi, kodwaCDOEinesicwangciso esicacileyo sokukhusela i-niche yayo njengomvelisi ophakathi.
"Xa ujonga iinkampani eziphezulu ze-10, uqaphela inkcubeko yabo yenkonzo," kusho umphathi wokuthengisa kunye nokuthengisaTity huang."Wonke umntu ukwinkonzo yabathengi, kodwa bambalwa abawubiza ngokuba ngowona mahluko ubalulekileyo."
CDOEUkuzibophelela kwinkonzo yabathengi sisixhobo esinceda ukuba sakhe kwaye sigcine isiseko somthengi.
“Ukuba unegama lenkonzo entle, abathengi bakho baya kuqaphela,” utshilo uLivingston."Kwaye kunzima kwabo bakhuphisana nabo, ngakumbi abo bakhulu, ukuyiphinda loo nto."
Eli nqanaba lokuphendula lithetha ukuba abafowuni, uninzi lwabo abaziinjineli, ngokukhawuleza bafumana uncedo lobugcisa abaludingayo, inyathelo lokuqala elibalulekileyo eliya kolunye uphawu lweMagnetics yeHlabathi, amaxesha okutshintsha ngokukhawuleza.Njengomthetho, iiprojekthi zigqitywa kwiiveki ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu.Imisebenzi engxamisekileyo idla ngokugqitywa ngokukhawuleza.
“Ukuba bhetyebhetye kunye nobungakanani bombutho wethu busenza ukuba siphendule ngokukhawuleza,” utshilo uLivingston.
Ewe, akukho nanye kwezi zinto zibalulekileyo ngaphandle kwemveliso esemgangathweni.Ngaloo nto,CDOEuzuze igama elihle kungekuphela nje e-US, kodwa naphakathi kwabathengi bangaphandle.
"Into enomdla kukuba uninzi lweshishini lethu lixhomekeke kubude begama lethu elinabathengi abaninzi abahlukeneyo kwihlabathi liphela," utshilo.
Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi phakathi kobhubhane.Ikwanceda okoCDOEisebenzisa phantse ababoneleli bengingqi kuphela, ukuthintela imiba yonikezelo lwempahla.CDOEibisabela kumyalelo wama-31,000iiswitshi piezoelectrickumvelisi waseBritane wee-ventilators zasesibhedlele ngelixa ezinye iinkampani zingasebenzi.
Enye inzuzo kukubaCDOEabasebenzi abanamava.Abaphathi bayayigxininisa loo ntoCDOEasiyondawo nje yokusebenzela, kodwa yindawo yokwakha ikhondo lomsebenzi.
“Yindlela esebenze ngayo,” watsho.“Mhlawumbi oku ngokuyinxenye kungenxa yokuba umsebenzi ufuna ukubhetyebhetye okuninzi kunye nengqalelo kwiinkcukacha.Kodwa besisoloko sizama ukuvumela ukuguquguquka okuthile kwiishedyuli zethu.Kuyanceda nokucacisa.”
CDOEikwazibeka kwindawo yokuthengisa entsha.Inkampani isandula kuthenga umshicileli we-Stratasys 3D ngesibonelelo sobuchwephesha esingachazwanga saseMichigan Industry 4.0.Oku kuyandaCDOEIinketho zokwenza, ivumela iiodolo ezikhethekileyo ukuba zihambe ukusuka kwingqikelelo ukuya kwiprototype eqinileyo kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa.
CDOEinabasebenzi bedesika yangaphambili abali-10 kunye nabasebenzi abangama-30 ukuya kwangama-35 emveliso.Ukongeza, isebenza kwinethiwekhi yamalungu angama-20 "aBalingane abaThengisayo" esasazwa ngokulinganayo kulo lonke elase-US kunye neemarike zamazwe ngamazwe.
Le kholamu ixhaswe yiGrand Traverse Area Works Council (GTAMC).Injongo yayo kukuxhasa ukwenziwa kwezinto ezizinzileyo nezinokhuphiswano kwihlabathi ukomeleza uqoqosho;makegreatthings.org.Kwiminyaka engama-60 edlulileyo - kwaye ngakumbi kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo phantsi kobunkokeli bukaMartin Paul - olu xinzelelotshintshaumenzi uye wafunda ukuthembela kwinkonzo yabathengi, amaxesha okutshintsha ngokukhawuleza, umgangatho ophezulu wemveliso kunye nabasebenzi abathembekileyo.
