00:00:00.184 --> 00:00:02.112
My name is Ryan Farrelly.

2
00:00:02.112 --> 00:00:05.195
Now I'm an engineer for SpecSys, Inc.

3
00:00:06.303 --> 00:00:09.740
Let's say that a client like Caterpillar

4
00:00:09.740 --> 00:00:13.830 line:15% 
or Volvo or Halliburton or one of the big companies

5
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:17.600 line:15% 
out there has an engineering project

6
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.438 line:15% 
that either they can't get to right now

7
00:00:21.438 --> 00:00:25.938
because of their manpower, or a really tight timeline,

8
00:00:27.527 --> 00:00:31.161
or capabilities, it's just out of their wheelhouse.

9
00:00:31.161 --> 00:00:32.898
That's when they call us.

10
00:00:32.898 --> 00:00:36.548
We're a contract engineering and manufacturing firm.

11
00:00:36.548 --> 00:00:40.017
Initially they'll have an idea of what they want.

12
00:00:40.017 --> 00:00:41.835
And we can help conceptualize that

13
00:00:41.835 --> 00:00:44.382 line:15% 
with real, moving parts.

14
00:00:44.382 --> 00:00:48.632 line:15% 
With real motors, with real hydrostats specced out.

15
00:00:49.487 --> 00:00:52.585 line:15% 
And the whole entire project as a whole,

16
00:00:52.585 --> 00:00:55.290
to make sure that they're thinking of everything.

17
00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:58.372
If there needs to be certification on the ROPS,

18
00:00:58.372 --> 00:01:01.877
if there needs to be any sort of testing

19
00:01:01.877 --> 00:01:04.381
to go along with it, to follow the standards

20
00:01:04.381 --> 00:01:06.494
before you can just bring a product to market

21
00:01:06.494 --> 00:01:09.052
and so we can help provide them with that knowledge.

22
00:01:09.052 --> 00:01:12.593 line:15% 
Some of the projects I'm currently working on

23
00:01:12.593 --> 00:01:16.421 line:15% 
involve working with our robotic welders

24
00:01:16.421 --> 00:01:18.903 line:15% 
in one of our manufacturing facilities,

25
00:01:18.903 --> 00:01:21.603 line:15% 
and understanding which parts might be a better fit

26
00:01:21.603 --> 00:01:22.662
for the robotic welder.

27
00:01:22.662 --> 00:01:27.662
What the parameters and constraints over the robot are.

28
00:01:27.798 --> 00:01:31.394
The space limitations, understanding

29
00:01:31.394 --> 00:01:33.561
how to program that robot.

30
00:01:35.182 --> 00:01:38.283
Everything from stepping through the initial instructions

31
00:01:38.283 --> 00:01:40.548
all the way through to verifying that the part

32
00:01:40.548 --> 00:01:45.548
is to print, and to spec, and within the tolerance limits.

33
00:01:45.641 --> 00:01:48.523
Some of my coworkers in the office are working on

34
00:01:48.523 --> 00:01:50.429
projects for other companies, where

35
00:01:50.429 --> 00:01:53.096 line:15% 
they might be doing FDA analysis

36
00:01:55.141 --> 00:01:58.444 line:15% 
one minute, next thing you know they're working on

37
00:01:58.444 --> 00:02:02.432 line:15% 
the actual CAD model, and building the frame

38
00:02:02.432 --> 00:02:05.155
from the ground up to make sure that the engine fits

39
00:02:05.155 --> 00:02:07.551
and the cooler fits and the hydraulic tank fits,

40
00:02:07.551 --> 00:02:11.316
and the gas tank fits, and all the motors and pumps

41
00:02:11.316 --> 00:02:12.399
within there.
