Manufacturers and solution providers, join us for this virtual workshop where we'll address challenges of slurry manufacturing and brainstorm solutions to them. ?? Here's the problem we'll solve together: A small-to-medium-sized food manufacturer that specializes in producing gourmet pastries has been experiencing difficulties with the melt-pour process used to prepare coatings, fillings, and glazes. The melt pour slurry is inconsistently prepared due to operator variability and the use of ingredients sourced from different vendors, influenced by supply chain. This leads to issues with viscosity, texture, and appearance. What should be done? We'll identify the ideal process, propose improvements, and enhance product quality. Don't miss this educational workshop. ?? Here's where to RSVP: https://loom.ly/8OPLSYc

We recently had the opportunity to work with Freestyle Vinyl on their unique use-case for the MxD Sensor Kit! Freestyle Vinyl provides customers with made-to-order records by using a lathe to cut the desired tracks into the vinyl. The sensor kit is using infrared sensors to monitor the surface temperature of the vinyl to ensure the purest sound quality. Read more about it here! https://lnkd.in/gaHcD9WK
