In aerospace and defense manufacturing, each part must be closely checked for discrepancies against its technical specifications in order to avoid defects that could lead to catastrophic failures. This is obviously a very difficult process, especially when it comes to highly advanced products like missiles, rocket boosters and avionics. Knowing the tiny details of these devices is essential in ensuring they perform flawlessly during their intended uses.
Orders are generally placed using a system that is slightly better than carrier pigeon. Carriers would need to be well-rested, avoid obstructions, and fly at a consistent speed in order to deliver the order accurately. Parts orders used today use more sophisticated technology but ultimately rely on the same basic principles – a carrier pigeon can only carry so much information before it becomes exhausted.
Stell is an ambitious startup that is looking to improve the industrial base by reducing errors and improving efficiency. By building a platform that allows for new workflows, the company hopes to make parts ordering more efficient and reliable for businesses across America.
When Malory and Anne met, they were both seeking a new challenge. They quickly realized they had a lot in common and formed Stell together. Being engineeers by trade, they understood the importance of quality customer service and set out to create a company that delivered on that
Space travel is now becoming a reality for the everyday person. With companies like SpaceX and United Launch Alliance securing contracts to launch payloads into space, it’s clear that there is great interest in space exploration. But what new discoveries shall we make in 2017? One prediction is that we will begin to see cell phone connectivity from space, opening up the possibility of intergalactic communication and commerce.
Some believe that direct-to-mobile connectivity from space will be the future of satellite communications. Companies such as Apple, T-Mobile, Globalstar, SpaceX, AST SpaceMobile and Lynk Global are all vying for a share of this market. This area is still very early in development and there are few operational spacecraft in operation yet. However, multiple mobile network operators have already signed agreements to provide service.
Even though Disney announced plans to build the new resort on property adjacent to its current theme park, many are still excited about the prospect of a new visitor attraction in Orlando. Given Disney’s unparalleled brand name and history of creating amazing experiences for guests, it’s guaranteed that whatever this new attraction turns
