In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we're taking some time to highlight Black leaders who shaped the supply chain industry. Learn more about Frederick McKinley Jones, inventor of the first automatic refrigeration system for trucks ?

It's February, which means it's #blackhistorymonth. A great time to highlight and celebrate the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history. If you work in the #HVACR industry, there's one name you should definitely know - Frederick McKinley Jones. He was an inventor and entrepreneur who revolutionized refrigerated transport. Jones designed the first practical, affordable refrigeration system that could be installed on trucks and railroad cars. This allowed perishable goods like produce and meat to be transported long distances without spoiling. His refrigeration units used an innovative automatic control system. This maintained preset temperatures for days without supervision. Jones received over 60 patents for his groundbreaking work. The impact of Frederick Jones' refrigerated transport technology was immense. It enabled national and global food distribution on a scale never before possible. Watch this short video to learn more about the inspiring life and career of Frederick McKinley Jones. A true pioneer in cold chain technology. During Black History Month, and all year round, let's celebrate diverse innovators like Jones. Their creativity and determination changed industries - and history. https://lnkd.in/eRjTP-Ua #decon7 #pioneer

To close out Black History Month, we would like to honor and highlight some notable Black engineers and inventors in the automotive/mobility industry. 1. Garrett Morgan – invented the modern three-point traffic signal 2. Richard Spikes – invented and patented the turn signal, automatic gear shift, brake safety system, and brake testing system 3. C.R. Patterson – founder of C.R. Patterson & Sons, the first Black-owned automobile manufacturer 4. George Washington Carver – developed synthetic rubber for Ford 5. Elijah McCoy – invented automatic lubrication for locomotives, ships, and factory machines; “the real McCoy” 6. William Hunter Dammond – invented electrical safety signaling system for railroads Let’s all celebrate the great strides these engineers have made in the automotive industry! Many advancements in the automotive industry wouldn’t have been possible without the great achievements of these engineers and many more. ? #blackhistorymonth #automotive #engineering #engineers #inventors #innovation #SCAEUS

??Celebrating Black History! This Black History Month, we honor the remarkable contributions of Frederick McKinley Jones, an innovator whose groundbreaking work revolutionized the field of refrigeration technology. As we reflect on his legacy, we recognize the profound impact he has had on the automotive and food industries, as well as his enduring influence on innovation and entrepreneurship. Frederick McKinley Jones, born in 1893, overcame significant challenges to become one of the most influential inventors of the 20th century. His inventive spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence led to the creation of the first reliable and portable refrigeration system for trucks. This innovation not only transformed the transportation of perishable goods but also revolutionized the food industry, enabling the safe and efficient delivery of fresh produce and dairy products across long distances. Additionally, Jones' pioneering work extended to the military, where his refrigeration units played a crucial role in preserving blood, medicine, and food supplies during World War II, ultimately saving countless lives and bolstering the logistical capabilities of the armed forces. #BlackHistoryMonth #Innovation #DiversityandInclusion #FrederickMcKinleyJones

Honoring Black Innovators and Leaders in Transportation- Garrett Morgan I would like to introduce Garrett Morgan. Garret Morgan was an American businessman, community leader, and inventor of the 3-way traffic light. The Inspiration: In 1922, he witnessed an accident between a horse-drawn carriage and a car carrying a young child which sparked inspiration to prevent the likelihood of future events occurring. The How: Morgan created a folding traffic signal with folding arms with "stop" and "go" written on many signs which would be situated on a post above traffic. The signals could also be raised halfway in between to indicate caution moving forward.? Although Morgan’s invention was not the first traffic signal, it controlled traffic better than many earlier signals had. He patented it in 1923 and eventually sold the rights to the device to the General Electric Corporation for $40,000. ? #freight #experience #analytics #supplychain #supplychainmanagement #supplychainsolutions #logisticscompany #logistics #shippers #imports #everythingfreight #smallbusiness #environmentalsustainability #environmentallyfriendly #sustainability #oceanfreight #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #innovation
