We will help to power the world. Amazing and thank you! 3 shifts for 24 hours per day production. Wow! Can we grow 50% a year? What are the bottlenecks?
Wind and solar PV powered electricity can smelt the old scrap steel into new and valuable steel. It'll take 80 or 100 MW to power an electric arc furnace. Really amazing...and super loud!
Each modern wind turbine weighs basically one million pounds. The steel towers, nacelle and hub can be recycled as steel or the aluminum ladders or the copper cables. Siemens Gamesa annouced they are now launching their recyclable blades. Presently fiberglass blades are either landfilled or grinded up for concrete plants.
@@Ry_TSG That was a concern of mines while I was Genie. I brought it up several times but since i was on the assembly line, probably hispanic, and obese i wasnt taken seriously. Lol. They go by LEAN also. I wouldn't say we were always slowing the line down, but it was more often than should've been. Why go by LEAN if you're not going to adjust the method or tweak it for your business practices and standards. A couple of consistent problems i was having were that the manifold lines were either the wrong hoses, wrong length, or for wrong manlift. I would have to stop what I was doing and either find my assembly line supervisor* or walk to the hose assembly and ask them to make me one. I would then wait a couple minutes for one to be made, or I would have to go to my station and wait, and the line would have to stop until I get my hose. The other consistent issue were parts for the manifolds. I put together all of the manifolds on the S-40/42 Models in our facility and each manifold contained a certain amount of fittings. Some of the washers on those fittings were old and would break, or I'd be missing a fitting or fittings and some fittings i didnt have i would have to stop the line again. Another issue was that some of the welders were able to drink on the job, so they'd miss welds, or do shitty jobs after the frames were painted. Part of my job and my group was to inspect the top part of the frame (I forget what it's called) we'd fine the welding errors and report them, sometimes they'd exchange the frame. Or have that welder that fucked up bring his shit to the spot and weld it on site. I even drew up a design that would tighten hose fittings pneumatically, instead of by hand, a tool that would make my job and others quicker by about 10-15 minutes which equals more product. It takes about 20 minutes tops to feed and hook the manifolds lines together. I showed an engineer I befriended what I was talking about and showed him a sketch of the tool. He thought it was a genius idea, and he approached his people and they told him no. I asked why and he said that Genie is cheap and they won't make this, he said the idea was awesome though. 🤷🏽 Genie had their own on site "inventing area/trial and error area." Sorry for rambling. Brain damage. 🧠
Congratulations, nice factory. I work at Los Teros windfarm, equipped with 45 Ge machines
Awesome stuff.

Awesome ! Are you searching for engineers in lean or continuous improvment ? In France maybe ?
What are the projected emissions through the manufacturing process?
Also are the components recyclable?

Why are you showing advertisements on a video that's an advertisement?
Lean = Invented by the Japanese, it really does work.
It really doesnt i promise.
It works well when you have consistent supply chains. The last few years showed us that this isn't always the case.
