‘Innovation in Manufacturing’ deemed a success
GREENE – More than 250 students from Southern Tier high schools attended a celebration of National Manufacturing Day called 'Innovation in Manufacturing' hosted by the Raymond Corporation last week on October 6, in Greene.
The company displayed what is deemed as state-of-the-art manufacturing combined with advanced lean manufacturing practices, and attendees experienced virtual and hands-on activities that reinforced the idea that manufacturing is an ever-progressive industry.
“The future of manufacturing requires a talented workforce that builds upon the knowledge of our current team with advanced processes and technologies,” said CEO of Raymond Michael Field. “We have growing concerns over filling the next generation of advanced jobs. Encouraging students through manufacturing education is important to ensure we're able to address the skills gap in this growing industry.”
Raymond's 'Innovation in Manufacturing' featured interactive stations with engineers demonstrating various processes including 3-D printing. One of the stations exhibited a 3-D computer-aided design (CAD) system, which allows engineers to model and design a Raymond forklift in a virtual 3-D space. Other stations allowed students to virtually experience welding or driving a forklift througsh simulators.
Speakers Rick Harrington, Senior Vice President of Operations at Raymond, as well as Eric Heitmann, Vice President of Engineering Raymond, provided insight to the future of manufacturing and engineering.
“Celebrating and showcasing the manufacturing industry shouldn't be restricted to a specific day or month,” said Harrington. “Manufacturing, and its continual innovation, drives our business as well as our customers' businesses. Because of its significance and continuous growth, manufacturing should be shared with our future workforce year round, educating them on and preparing them for the jobs of the future: that's what we try to do at Raymond.”
In deeming their 'Innovation in Manufacturing' event a great success, Raymond is planning on hosting another in spring of 2017. The company continues to provide ongoing opportunities for students, ranging from high school to technical school or university, to visit the Raymond headquarters and manufacturing facility to learn more.
