SHOP FLOOR AUTOMATIONS PREMIERES COMIC STRIP
SFA presents a new comic strip series & humor-related Twitter account.
La Mesa, CA (October 10th, 2016) - Shop Floor Automations (SFA) is pushing the boundaries as the manufacturing industry changes. With a younger MFG audience on the horizon, SFA is looking to make an impact within the social media landscape, just as the company has made its mark in the shop floor automation field.
"Shop Floor Man is a character that was a collaboration between myself, our previous Operations Manager, and the owner of our company," says Amanda Rosenblatt, who is the comic strip artist and companys Marketing Coordinator. "We gather ideas and feedback on comics from the whole company, so its fun for them to get involved and the final product is a group effort."
"I think it is a bold statement because, really, he is purposely drawn badly," she remarks, with a chuckle. "Thats why we have the tagline ‘Our solutions are better than our comics. No one at the company, including myself, has the time to draw or commission someone to make an amazing comic, but we have the humor, stories and resources to make people laugh. Theres charm to him."
"Ive heard in this industry a few times how social media isnt valuable for this line of business, which could not be further from the truth," says Rosenblatt, who has been in the professional social media realm for close to 10 years.
"Im not on social media all day, however, having a footprint online aside from just a website is so crucial," she says. "You have middle school kids, high school teens and college-aged young adults who we are trying to get into this industry, or people like the military veterans being trained at organizations like Workshops for Warriors. These people of these various age groups are attached to their devices and social media - we can reach them and show them this industry is a community."
"Our comic strip, and the alternative Twitter account we set up called @ShopFloorHumor, are great ways to network with people in this industry," Rosenblatt says. "There is no greater commonality we all share than the love of laughter and humor. Why not use it for the benefit of a business?"

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
