Celebrating National Engineers Week at Fori
This week as part of National Engineers Week we celebrated our makers, designers, developers, and tinkerers. Like every one of our integral teams at Fori, we wouldn't get far without our engineers and the important work they do.
When asked about their backgrounds, projects, and overall thoughts on engineering this is what some of them had to say.
"A unique part of being an engineer at Fori is the creative problem-solving used to update customer manufacturing operations. In recent operations we have been altering our designs to up-and-coming Models of EV automobiles, embarking us on a new era of automobiles and engineering. This is an exciting time with so much changing in the auto industry." - Jacob Landenberger, Mechanical Engineer
"What I love most about being an engineer at Fori Automation is the constant exposure to new projects, ideas, and technology. A recent project I was involved in here at Fori was designing a new torque tube that is mostly comprised of 3D-printed parts. I enjoyed getting to learn about additive manufacturing and seeing what role it can play in the future of automation and manufacturing. It’s rewarding to get to work for a company that is always trying to improve using the latest technology." - Jordan Zak, Mechanical Engineer
"The most exciting part of being an engineer at Fori Automation is the opportunity to work on so many unique projects. In the Sales Department, there are always new opportunities to learn, new jobs to work on, and the need of trying to come up with new ideas or ways of meeting our customer’s needs. Every day there are new applications and challenges with those applications that keep my job interesting. It is always a great feeling coming up with a new idea/concept design, proposing it to the customer, and them liking it enough to write a purchase order for Fori to complete the job." - Ryan York, Fori Automation Estimator/Process Engineer
In addition to testimonials, we were able to sit down with Cristiano Sarmento our Lead Controls R&D Engineer, and Martin Erni our Sales Director. We learned more about them, their backgrounds, and some of the projects they have worked on at Fori, providing solutions for customers through engineering.
Looking toward the future companies face many challenges, domestically and globally, and engineers will be needed to solve more and more complex problems. At Fori, we are grateful for our team of innovative engineers who consistently rise up and meet these challenges. To all young and upcoming engineers, “Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of, who do the things that no one can imagine.” - Alan Turning. Happy National Engineers Week!
