HH Barnum recently paid a visit to our Kent offices, bringing along their “automation trailer.” They treated us to ice cream and gave us a tour of their unique mobile showroom. They’re a distributor, and their trailer is full of different automation related technology from a variety of suppliers. They tour around with their trailer giving demonstrations of products they carry.
We take every opportunity to leverage supplier resources to learn more about their products. The trailer features all sorts of different actuators, sensors, screens, LED lights, safety systems, etc. The team from Barnum are very knowledgeable about their products. So, they walked us through each section, explaining new devices.
One interesting feature is a small “car race.” This car race has toy cars on tracks with buttons to control their release. Each person playing has a button to control the release of their car. Once the signal is given, the players press their button and let their car “race” the other. The button controls an electromagnetic switch that drops a pin, releasing the car. In short, It’s a fun way to demonstrate their technology.
We want to learn every new function to see what we can incorporate into our projects. In other words, no button went unpressed, no screen unexplored. Our team is committed to learning, and learning new technology always sparks ideas.
