Situation:Â A world leader in the development and application of steam turbine technology was contracted to build six steam powered energy plants for an overseas customer. A key component in the manufacturing process of most of the equipment parts was the application of a protective coating prior to final assembly and transportation for delivery. The onsite conventional fixed coating facility was located a significant distance away from the turbine manufacturing area in the sprawling plant layout. As a co. . .

Situation: North American R&D facility of U.S.-based leading global security company builds prototypes of unmanned airborne systems for the purpose of testing and validation. Parts are produced in limited numbers throughout the fabricating shop. Component building process involves the use of adhesives that will only successfully bond within very specific temperature and humidity ranges that require climate control. In addition, the bonding process requires a clean room environment and has to beÂ. . .
