Our Commitment to Lean: A 25% Reduction in Test Stand Lead Time
What happens when the Lean fundamentals drive engineering & manufacturing innovation? Re:Build Manufacturing emerges—a powerful force reshaping American industry with cutting-edge strategies and collaborative excellence. Founders Jeff Wilke and Miles Arnone, both MIT Leaders for Manufacturing alumni, are at the forefront of this transformation. Jeff, the architect behind Amazon Prime, led Amazon’s consumer business for 20 years, while Miles applied Lean principles as an Operating Partner in a private equity setting. Their expertise gave rise to our 16 Principles, with the 15th focused exclusively on Lean and continuous improvement. Discover how Re:Build Manufacturing is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry and advancing efficiency and innovation.
Smart Bullets, Precision, and Defense Manufacturing
In this blog, we cover a lot of industries, but a large vertical that we have yet to discuss is manufacturing for the Defense Sector. We’ve done some great work in this space and to shed some light on the subject we went and chatted with a resident expert. One of our machine design project managers and spare part fabrication managers for Re:Build Optimation with a scope of work and responsibility that focuses on manufacturing machine and equipment development, building, and maintenance were able to enlighten us more on this subject. This interview offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate world of manufacturing high-precision equipment. The discussion revolved around Re:Build Optimation’s pivotal role in producing cutting-edge machinery for a wide range of applications, including the defense sector. One of the standout projects highlighted was building an assembly line for ‘Smart Bullets’ production. The team at Re:Build Optimation not only conceptualized but also constructed a state-of-the-art machine capable of churning out these specialized munitions with remarkable speed and near-perfect accuracy. The bullet had over 20 components, significantly more than one might expect from a traditional bullet.
Reshoring: Helping U.S. Manufacturing Compete through Enhanced Domestic Production
At Re:Build Optimation, one of our corporate initiatives is to seek out and support clients who are interested in either maintaining or relocating their manufacturing assets to the U.S., rather than sending their product-building work offshore to other, lower-cost labor markets. While this is an admirable goal, sometimes the actual achievement of this desire is a financial challenge. Our customers struggle with how to offset the higher labor cost of our U.S. workers with other cost reductions or avoidance. Re:Build Optimation can offer an approach that is crafted to address this very issue: How to enhance or upgrade a client’s existing manufacturing equipment and methods in a way that increases competitive advantage while creating a cost structure that enables the continued presence of the customer’s business in the U.S. This approach is based on a strategic assessment of what improvements will need to be implemented to create competitiveness, then identifying and leveraging elements of the client’s existing production base, and finally enhancing the performance of the existing line with custom-designed technology upgrades or installation of incremental new machines to deliver needed results.
What Is an Electrolyzer?
Hydrogen, the gaseous material that creates water when it reacts with oxygen, is an abundant resource with applications ranging from fertilizers in the agriculture sector to the power source for electricity-producing fuel cells. As most operations for producing hydrogen aren’t environmentally friendly because they involve burning fossil fuels, those interested in renewable and eco-friendly energy are exploring ways to produce green hydrogen using devices like electrolyzers. So, what is an electrolyzer, and how does an electrolyzer work? An electrolyzer carries out a process known as electrolysis, which utilizes electricity to divide water up into its elements: hydrogen and oxygen. As an effective technique for clean hydrogen production using renewable energy, electrolyzers will have an important part to play in the emerging hydrogen economy.
Solar, Battery, Fuel Cell, Hydrogen and the Future with Re:Build Optimation
In 2024, we’re no longer discussing alternative energy as ‘only’ innovative technologies. Instead, we now look into how we can remove the gap from ideation and conceptualization to execution and implementation. At the forefront of these advancements is Re:Build Optimation, a company dedicated to driving not only innovations, but also implementations in manufacturing technologies that enhance the production processes for batteries, solar panels, and fuel cells. Today we’re uncovering the key elements and exciting advancements of Solar, Battery, Fuel Cell, and Hydrogen and how it’s affecting the future. We’re grateful to get plenty of insights from our interview with industry expert, CEO, and president of Re:Build Optimation, Bill Pollock regarding these topics. We’re uncovering not only the tip of the iceberg, but also opening up the can of worms. Now let’s jump in.
The Pressure Vessel Design and Repair Checklist
The process of requesting a pressure vessel design or repair does not have to be high-pressure. At Re:Build Optimation, our mission is to provide a high-quality pressure vessel tailored to your requirements while ensuring a hassle-free experience for your business. When designing or repairing a pressure vessel, it’s crucial to address a variety of technical and operational considerations to ensure safety, functionality, and compliance with regulations. The Pressure Vessel Checklist is a comprehensive tool designed to guide you through this complex process. This checklist helps you systematically evaluate all necessary aspects of your pressure vessel project, ensuring that you meet both your operational needs and regulatory requirements. After decades of manufacturing pressure vessels for clients, we’ve identified three common starting points for new conversations:
Safety Talks: A Thousand Days Without Lost Time Injury
In 2019, the construction sector reported a staggering 79,660 injuries, shedding light on the pervasive risk of accidents in industrial environments. Additionally, in 2022, there were 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses, with 1,184,200 of these cases leading to days away from work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The same year also saw a 5.7% increase in fatal work injuries from the previous year, totaling 5,486 fatalities. Re:Build Optimation has achieved a significant safety milestone by going over a thousand days without a lost time injury. Considering broader statistics on workplace accidents in the United States, Re:Build Optimation’s safety record stands out. This is not a coincidence, and in this blog, we are happy to share how we achieved this milestone and why the right mindset matters. Here’s our first rule. Safety goes above and beyond compliance.
