Eminyakeni engu-60 edlule - futhi ikakhulukazi kule minyaka eyishumi edlule ngaphansi kobuholi bukaMartin Paul - le ngcindezishintshaumkhiqiziifunde ukuthembela ensizakalweni yamakhasimende, izikhathi zokushintsha ngokushesha, ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo ephezulu kanye nabasebenzi abanokwethenjelwa.
ukushintshwa kwe-piezoelectric dlala indima ebalulekile ezindaweni ezingenakubalwa.Zisiza ukuvula nokuvala umfutho womoya nokugeleza koketshezi, kugcinwe ukucindezela okungaguquki kwe-pneumatic kanye nemishini kuyo yonke into kusukela kubenzi bekhofi kuya kumamaski omoya-mpilo womshayeli wendiza.Ezinye zeI-CDOE shintshaesbaze babambe iqhaza kubuchwepheshe “bokumunca” obuvumela abakhubazekile ukuthi balawule ukuhamba kwesihlalo esinamasondo neminye imisebenzi.
I-CDOEyenza izinhlobo ezintathu zeukushintshwa kwe-piezoelectric: inkimbinkimbi, ikhwalithi ephezuluukushintshwa kwe-piezoelectricngemikhumbi-ngwenya nezinye izicelo zempi zingabiza kufika ku-$1,300.Midrangeshintshangokuvamile kubiza cishe u-$300.Amamodeli ajwayelekile alula enza ingxenye enkulu yalawo acishe abe ngu-400,000+shintshaes I-CDOEikhiqiza unyaka nonyaka.Bathengisa phakathi kuka-$13 no-$25.
Umkhiqizo onalolu hlobo lokuguquguquka ungaheha ukuncintisana okwengeziwe, kodwaI-CDOEinohlelo olucacile lokuvikela i-niche yayo njengomkhiqizi ophakathi.
“Uma ubheka izinkampani ezingu-10 ezihamba phambili, uyaqaphela isiko lazo lenkonzo,” kusho umphathi wezokuthengisa nokuthengisaI-Tity huang.“Wonke umuntu usebenzela amakhasimende, kodwa bambalwa abakubiza ngokuthi umehluko obaluleke kakhulu.”
I-CDOEUkuzibophezela kwesevisi yamakhasimende kuyithuluzi elisiza ukwakha nokugcina isisekelo samakhasimende.
“Uma unedumela lenkonzo enhle, amakhasimende akho azoqaphela,” kusho uLivingston.“Futhi kunzima kwabancintisana nabo, ikakhulukazi abakhulu, ukukuphindaphinda lokho.”
Leli zinga lokuphendula lisho ukuthi abafonayo, iningi labo okungonjiniyela, bathola ngokushesha usizo lobuchwepheshe abaludingayo, isinyathelo sokuqala esibalulekile esibheke kolunye uphawu lwe-World Magnetics, izikhathi zokushintsha ngokushesha.Njengomthetho, amaphrojekthi aqedwa phakathi kwamasonto amabili kuya kwamathathu.Imisebenzi ephuthumayo ivamise ukuqedwa ngokushesha.
“Ukuguquguquka nezinga lenhlangano yethu kusivumela ukuthi siphendule ngokushesha,” kusho uLivingston.
Yiqiniso, akukho kulokhu okubalulekile ngaphandle komkhiqizo wekhwalithi.Ngalokho,I-CDOEizuze idumela elihle hhayi e-US kuphela, kodwa naphakathi kwamakhasimende angaphandle.
"Okuthakazelisayo okuthakazelisayo ukuthi iningi lebhizinisi lethu lincike esikhathini eside somkhiqizo wethu onamakhasimende amaningi ahlukene emhlabeni jikelele," esho.
Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu phakathi nobhubhane.Kuyasiza futhi lokhoI-CDOEisebenzisa cishe abahlinzeki bendawo kuphela, igwema izinkinga ze-supply chain.I-CDOEibiphendula umyalelo wezi-31,000ukushintshwa kwe-piezoelectricevela kumkhiqizi waseBrithani wama-ventilators esibhedlela ngenkathi ezinye izinkampani zingasebenzi.
Enye inzuzo yileI-CDOEabasebenzi abanolwazi.Abaphathi bayakugcizelela lokhoI-CDOEakuyona nje indawo yokusebenza, kodwa indawo yokwakha umsebenzi.
“Kwasebenza kanjalo,” kusho yena.“Mhlawumbe lokhu kudalwa ukuthi umsebenzi udinga ukuguquguquka okukhulu nokunaka imininingwane.Kodwa siye sazama njalo ukuvumela ukuguquguquka okuthile ezinhlelweni zethu.Kuyasiza nokuchaza.”
I-CDOEiphinde izenzele izimakethe ezintsha.Le nkampani isanda kuthenga iphrinta ye-Stratasys 3D ngesibonelelo esingadalulwanga se-Michigan Industry 4.0.Lokhu kuyandaI-CDOEIzinketho zokwenza ngokwezifiso, okuvumela ama-oda akhethekile ukuthi asuke kumqondo aye kusibonelo esiqinile emahoreni ambalwa nje.
