@EricVallieres84 Working on it - just pinged a tooling distributor we work with

Anyone have a Frasia tooling contact?

the best kind of email to get: > we ask customer for feedback > production manager emails back saying how sense has helped > owner sees email and asks to buy more devices to ~3x their install base build solutions that create real value value sells itself

Successful day in Iowa with our new Head of Business Development at Sense. 4x shop visits: 2x metal fab, 1x injection molding, 1x machine shop 4x Industries: Agriculture, automotive, furniture, and traffic safety 3x of the visits were unplanned, cold walk-ins. Unmatched welcoming nature here with the folks in Iowa. 1x: stray cat

@Tyler_Plummer Back at you brother

@MorellCarson Awesome. Hope all is well Carson

Ripping customer visits in Iowa and found this little gal in the middle of the highway, found a new home for her down the street at a local farm

@zanehengsperger @fabworks_guy has a great shop

who has an awesome machine shop in LA or SF I can visit this week?

Shop lounge this morning with @RealNickBarth

@jonwerthen @danielmitchell Fomo

Some people link up with the boys at the bars. Some people choose aviation museums. @danielmitchell is one of the coolest guys I know!

@barbinbrad @zanehengsperger @danielmitchell Nah man completely aligned

@zanehengsperger @MorellCarson @danielmitchell Just tell me to stfu if this annoying though haha 😅

If I could fund a single company that doesn’t exist right now it would be… Machine Maintenance as a Service $222B/year in the US is spent on machine maintenance or repair. Features would include: - quarterly PMs on machines - full service history with access to service history of other exact machines - predictive from sensors or cameras - instant buy spare parts from online store - operator training module - access to AI chat bot (ik cringe) that knows your machine inside out This would be an incredible bet as robotics scale and maintenance is inevitable. I’d hire the oldest guys with the most amount of tribal knowledge. Every single repair or process would be documented with data points and feed into our system correlated to a specific machine.

@Metal_CFO @zanehengsperger This is true. Ryan also wields lots of other badass machines

@zanehengsperger We’ve got a 4k fiber laser with major capacity down the road in NE Ohio. @MorellCarson can attest!

Lead time for laser cut parts in Detroit is 4 weeks.

@zanehengsperger throw sensemfg.com on there for affordable CNC machine monitoring!

Botics Announces New Facility in Tiffin - Develop Seneca County developsenecacounty.org/blog/botics-an…

More machine shops should name their machines. Got to meet Cyclops, Maverick, Shredder, Cheech, and Chong this morning

@danielmitchell @aphysicist Gift to my great grandfather for 25 years at Eaton

@aphysicist @MorellCarson poast grandpocket watch

back when it was worth it to become a "company man". my grandfather was a distinguished electrical engineer at GE, Nela Park for 30+ years. globalization destroyed the fabric of mutual respect that made this possible.

this started as an april fools joke in our Sense team meeting now... we’re launching it… think it’ll be a hit? (the online scratcher is a banger either way) monitor 5 machines for 60 days you pay for 4 devices - we cover the 5th if it doesn’t pay for itself, send it back install takes ~15 min per machine. any make/model.

@HalonenJeff You’re the man Jeff

@MorellCarson Heard it with my own two ears!! “The only way I could have gotten this is I had just stood there all day and watched them work.”

Aerospace CNC shop: Sense notified 4 times in 6 weeks after installation that a 24/7 machine was down midday on the weekend and was able to drive in to get it running again. Recovered unplanned downtime ✅ Construction & trucking cnc shop: “minimum ~10% production efficiency increase across Sense outfitted machines” just a month after installation Two mini case studies from check-ins with new Sense customers this week. No better feeling than seeing your product deliver real, measurable ROI within 6 weeks of deployment

@Willcshapiro Thanks man🫡

@MorellCarson Awesome work!

@timbot Love it. We do money back guarantee trials - keeping the price as accessible as possible right now

@MorellCarson Those improvements translate to serious $$$ You could probably charge more and offer a money back guarantee. For the shops where this kind of monitoring improvement is helpful, it's going to be really helpful.

@aphysicist I walked out of the restaurant 10 min ago opened X and saw this

cleveland has the best corned beef in the world and it's not even close.
