I really enjoyed this episode with Matthew Bush, especially this soundbite. Solving a problem isn't just related to starting and running your business. Anyone at any stage of their careers can take this simple knowledge nugget and apply it. If a process or job isn't solving a problem, you need to re-evaluate and decide if it's worth doing. Even for us at Captivated Content, we often talk about the problems we are solving. And those solutions can lead to our purpose. We make videos. We create content. One of the problems we solve is the ever growing need for businesses and organizations to have the ability to create enough quality content to compete online. Telling your story in an entertaining, informative, efficient, and engaging way isn't always easy. We try to solve that. Another problem we assist on solving is sales and recruiting. Our content we create can help businesses increase sales and improve recruiting efforts when used correctly and intentionally. Whether your own a business or not, do you ask yourself 'what problem are we solving?" If not, I guess this post's purpose is to nudge you into asking that question.

Labor shortages in manufacturing are no joke—but they’re not unsolvable.

💭 "It was our first time with automated welding. We didn’t know the technology or if it was even feasible." Every first step comes with uncertainty. That’s where we come in—helping businesses like Container Products Company understand their options and find the best fit for their needs. Now, their work is easier, and that’s what it’s all about. 🦾 #automation #cobots #welding

Challenges in metal #fabrication such as labor shortages, rising costs, and the need for faster production cycles are present and growing - and manufacturers are finding ways to combat those hurdles through the adoption of cobot welding. When #welding with cobots, both the efficiency and productivity is enhanced across the board for these manufacturers - while also allowing the existing welders to focus on more complex and critical aspects of fabrication while the #cobots handle the dull and mundane welds. Cobots carry other advantages, too. The adaptability of cobots means they can quickly switch between tasks—ideal for environments that require frequent changes in weld jobs and materials. Safety in the workplace is another significant benefit. Cobot welders operate in environments that are often hazardous to human workers, thus reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall safety standards. Moreover, the precision of cobot welders leads to consistent, high-quality welds with reduced defects, minimizing costly rework and material waste. This level of reliability and efficiency translates into a strong return on investment, with improvements seen in cycle times and labor costs.
