Videos are great and you get a idea from that but it does not compare to in person.  It's really amazing.

One thing I took away from my visits there is how Rich and his people are always looking for ways to save a second here and a second there.  They study the traffic, work flow, tool changes, everything you can imagine.  I try to do the same thing here, and ask my folks to do the same. Yesterday we made a simple change in how the art department saves comp sheets. His thinking was, it only saves us about 30 seconds a job. When we figured the savings over a year, it was over 80 hours!!! His eyes are now open wider. So one of Rich's business standards is one I try to follow as well. That's a nice take away for me from my visits. Thanks to Rich and everyone at M&R.

100% correct,  the videos as awesome as they are can't even begin to give you the full scope of either location. We saw alphas, strykers You name it, looked like miles of ready to go gear labeled for deliveries all over the planet. Every person we encountered were so nice and professional. The precise robots and lasers, cnc machines, I'm talking dozens of machines fabricating, just awesome.  The intense service department and how it works. Too much to type ya gotta go.

Rich thanks so much for taking the time to pull away from big business to go through the new technology. We so much appreciate you. Hey and we got to meet Marie Tosh and hang with Zimmer. Super cool folks.

Once my boss and I got to spend a week there taking the preventative maintenance class with Francisco.  Truly an impressive place.

That class was also amazing.  You get carte blanche to ask the most detailed questions about any piece of equipment you'd like to learn everything about from experts.  If he didn't know something (which was rare) we'd hit the factory floor and find someone who did.

We also got to see the construction of a custom super jumbo Alpha8...if my memory serves correct (and it likely doesn't) the pallets were 3" by 4" with an insanely giant flasher that dwarfs even the flasher we have for our jumbo pallets originally accommodated by 52" by 43" screens. 

...Squeegee holders that stretched for miles...

It was like a combination Disney Land and Mecca of screen printing.
