Our Team Solves Technology Problems.

We specialize in supporting manufacturing companies, with a deep understanding of their IT needs and challenges. Whether you have an IT Department or not- we can assist. One big difference that sets us apart from other IT companies is that we are ITAR, CMMC and NIST Compliant. All of our solutions are geared towards following NIST Framework as well as being DFARS compliant. We work with Small and Medium size businesses to support and leverage technology in a cost effective manner.

Here are just a few reasons to choose Onsite Technical Services to support your computer network... ✓ We support both on-premise and cloud solutions. In most cases we find a hybrid-cloud approach is the most economical for businesses. ✓ We help you solve your IT and compliance challenges. ✓ We have full-time technicians and engineers on staff providing support. ✓ Transparency is key. We won’t nickel and dime you with hidden fees. ✓ We know and understand the complexities of Cybersecurity. ✓ We are an Elite Microsoft Partner. ✓ 100% satisfaction guaranteed.


Editors Corner We are experiencing unprecedented workforce turnover. And all signs point to continued high rates of job switching. In a recent WSJ article, among workers aged 25 to 54, it said that 20% anticipate leaving within the year, and an additional 26% said they don’t plan to stay past two years. This compares to historical job tenure of 4 years. Savvy employers recognize that the best way to keep their business running smoothly and profitably is to retain their current employees. Yet, no matter how well you treat your employees, there will be life changes for them that lead to them leaving you. Or you are growing, and inevitably you will need additional staff to fuel your growth. What can you do to stand out from other companies who are also seeking out new employees? Get creative. 30% of Our Management Team is Female. 55% of Our Employees Do Not Have College Degrees. 43% of our Team Members Identify as Non-White. 72% of Our Team Members have 5+ Years with Our Company. You might post the stats like those shown above on the hiring page of your website or they can be part of your job posting. Let potential employees recognize that your company values diversity, and that people who come to work remain employed with your company. It’s just that good of a place to come to. According to LinkedIn’s Global Talent Trends report, 89 percent of recruiters say when a hire doesn’t work out, it usually comes down to a lack of soft skills. What can you do to get a better idea of a potential hire’s ‘soft skills’? Invest in hiring assessments, which allow you to test for personality traits and soft skills that are strong indicators of a candidate’s personality fit with both the role and the overall organization. The results can show you whether or not a candidate is likely to stay in the role and fit in with the company culture. Establish an employee referral program, and offer bonuses to employees once their candidate is hired and is working out. An employee referral program will often result in great people who weren’t actively looking for a job coming on to your team. Also, your employees aren’t going to recommend someone that they don’t think highly of. Does the job really require a college degree? This is perhaps one of the most creative recruitment strategies you can use. You can find individuals who have superior soft skills and have demonstrated success in their career, and since they lack a degree, they are being passed over by others. Look to classes of individuals that struggle to be accepted in the workforce, including formerly incarcerated individuals, handicapped individuals, women with gaps in employment due to family care issues, and Veterans. In closing, get creative in your hiring and beat out your competitors for desirable employees. As always, God Bless our Troops, our healthcare providers and our First Responders, Until next issue, I wish you the best.

Boeing’s Sales Rebound Continues, With The 737 Max Leading The Way The company had net sales of 145 aircraft i n t h e f i r s t t h re e months of the year as airlines got ready for a resurgence in travel. Boeing sold 145 planes in the first three months of the year, after accounting for canceled orders, the company said, as airlines around the world start to lay the groundwork for a broader postpandemic rebound. Almost all of the orders were for the 737 Max, which regained its spot as the star of Boeing’s commercial fleet after emerging from a prolonged crisis more than a year ago. Two crashes of the plane killed 346 people, leading to a global ban on the Max for nearly two years until late 2020. Most of the 95 planes that Boeing delivered in the first quarter of the year were also the Max. Boeing has now had 14 straight months of net new sales as the travel rebound accelerates. “The recovery in air travel is gathering steam as governments in many parts of the world lift travel restrictions,” said Willie Walsh, A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

the director general of International Air Transport Association. But threats to the rebound remain. The spread of BA.2, a subvariant of the highly infectious Omicron variant of the coronavirus, could interrupt the travel recovery. Lengthy discussions with regulators who have quality concerns about the 787 Dreamliner, a twin-aisle aircraft, have forced Boeing to cut back production and suspend deliveries of that plane.

Albuquerque Startup That Prints Rocket Motors Plans NM Expansion With facilities dotting central New Mexico, X-Bow Systems Inc. is poised to become a significant player in the state’s space industry. That’s because the startup has a contraption to print rocket motors. And after about six years of operating underground, the company says it is now ready to talk about its concept — and a New Mexico expansion. X-Bow chief revenue officer and co-founder Maureen Gannon spelled out the concept of printing rocket motors, which aims to increase production speed and reduce cost. That’s significant considering motors can be among the most expensive rocket components. It also means operators may be able to enter the market

Within the container, a robotic arm disperses a substance which, once “printed,” solidifies. Rocket motors are different from engines, which use liquid propellants as opposed to solid propellants. “Gannon said, “We reduce manufacturing footprint and we lower the overhead cost... so we’re trying to drive competition in that market.” “There’s other companies out there that 3D print rockets and rocket parts. That’s not new, that’s not novel. What’s new and novel is being able to take an energetic and 3D print it. That’s very exciting.” X-Bow used to be based in Huntsville, Alabama.

The expansion was driven by a Cooperative Research and Development Award from Sandia National Laboratories for the commercialization of a particular vehicle, according to Gannon. Afterward, the company found New Mexico to be a prime place for developing its company. Since it has moved here, X-Bow has opened no less than five different facilities that span research and development, lab, warehouse, manufacturing and office space between Albuquerque and Socorro. Now it is considering an at least 12,000-square-foot facility at Max Q, a mixed-use development slated for vacant land near Kirtland Air Force Base (Kevin Yearout, managing partner at project developer Thunderbird Kirtland Development LLC, would neither confirm nor deny project plans).

The startup is also moving into a 5,000-square-foot office in the Uptown area after outgrowing its space at the Sandia Science & Technology Park, which it is vacating. “We are occupying a larger and larger footprint in New Mexico,” Gannon said. “Alicia Keyes was very helpful in the economic development side of things, we’ve worked with [Heinrich’s office as well and staff from Lujan’s office. So we just really found New Mexico a great place to be, and we are going to continue expanding.” Between December 2020 and December 2021, the company was awarded more than $867,000 in Job Training Incentive Program money, used to fund training for newly-created positions at relocating or expanding businesses, according to the New Mexico Economic Development Department. Gannon said it may hire 20 or more people “in the next few quarters in Albuquerque.” By Collin Krabbe - Technology reporter A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Arizona State University is taking a new step to combat climate change by installing its first “mechanical tree” in Tempe that removes carbon dioxide from the air, just as real trees do. The trees, which are actually shaped like large tubes, remove carbon dioxide by catching carbon molecules on a uniquely absorbent sorbent material. The tree technology is also passive, meaning it does not need energyconsuming fans to direct air into its capture process. These devices, called MechanicalTrees, are quite large, measuring five feet in diameter. The tree sprouts from a metallic base that stands several feet tall, and from there it stretches 33 feet in the air to expose the disks that actually collect the carbon molecules. T h e M e c h a n i c a l Tr e e w i l l eventually rise to a height of 33 feet to collect carbon from ambient air, but since this is its first deployment the structure has yet to reach its full height as of April 18. After sufficient time filtering the air, the tree fills up a 9-foot tall


canister of carbon gas which is then swapped out for an empty vessel as the process starts over. These trees were designed by Klaus Lackner, a professor in ASU’s School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment and the founder of the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions. Lackner is a leader in the field of carbon removal, which is the process of capturing carbon emissions that can then be stored or repurposed. “Carbon dioxide is a waste product we produce every time we drive our cars or turn on the lights in our homes,” Lackner told ASU News. “Carbon Collect’s MechanicalTree can recycle it, bringing it out of the atmosphere to either bury it or use it as an industrial gas.” Lackner is working with Dublin-based Carbon Collect, previously known as Silicon Kingdom Holdings, to bring the device to the commercial market. Carbon Collect holds exclusive global rights to Lackner’s work at ASU and the company sponsors ongoing carbon capture work at the university. Carbon Collect has previously raised millions

from institutional investors and government grant programs. The drum is based on the research of ASU engineer Professor Klaus Lackner, who has been working with Carbon Collect Ltd. The Irish company has taken Lackner’s pioneering ideas and will make commercially available devices for the removal of carbon dioxide from the air. In order to avoid complete climate catastrophe, humans will need to both cut emissions and deploy carbon capture technology like Lackner’s trees. Captured carbon can be used in all kinds of applications, including concrete building materials, plastics, chemicals and more. When operating continually, this first tree is expected to remove up to 200 pounds of carbon each day or about 36.5 tons in a year; For reference, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, so a single tree would offset the emissions of about seven cars. Carbon Collect is also planning on establishing “farms’’ with many of these tree devices that will be able to collect 1,000 tons of carbon each day. The International Energy Agency estimates that energy-related carbon emissions reached 33 gigatons of carbon in 2021, an amount that would require some 90,000 Carbon Collect farms to cleanse.

See Inside Nikola Prototype Truck San Antonio-based HOLT CAT has rolled out a prototype of its first battery-powered, zero-emission truck — Phoenix-based Nikola’s Tre BEV — which will be distributed by HOLT and available to buy later this year. The preproduction model of the Class-8 truck, meaning its gross combined weight rating exceeds 33,000 pounds, will be used as part of HOLT’s fleet for delivering parts, according to Brandon Acosta, vice president of HOLT Truck Centers. He said this will help electric battery maker Nikola test the truck before unveiling the full production line for purchase. The Nikola Tre BEV can travel up to 350 miles on a single charge and uses a non-proprietary connector and charging station. Moreover, when you apply the brakes, the energy from braking is cycled into charging the battery. Nikola executives approached HOLT last July about becoming the sole authorized Texas dealer of the company’s Class-8 trucks. Acosta said that the Nikola Tre BEV has a 753-kWh-battery, and has a gross

combined weight rating of over 33,000 pounds and can tow a gross combined weight of 82,000 pounds. Nikola delivered its first battery electric vehicle in December and on February 24 said during its fourth-quarter and yearly earnings call that it expects to deliver its first batch of saleable vehicles by the second quarter of this year, though supply chain issues could remain an issue. The company said it planned to deliver at least 300 trucks and hire 400 people by the end of the year, which would make 2022 its first year with revenue. Cary Gniffke, HOLT’s business development manager for the Nikola line, said batteryelectric trucks could help the trucking industry since they’re quiet and have no exhaust or emissions, so they can deliver to businesses that would normally have noise or time restrictions on when trucks can arrive. And it may also appeal to a new demographic of prospective truck drivers who might otherwise be reluctant to buy a truck due to environmental or other concerns.

Firearm Industry Economic Impact Rises 269% Since 2008 The total economic impact of the firearm and ammunition industry in the United States increased from $19.1 billion in 2008 to $70.52 billion in 2021, a 269 percent increase, while the total number of full-time equivalent jobs rose from approximately 166,000 to over 375,819, a 126 percent increase in that period, according to a report released by the NSSF, the firearm industry trade association. year basis, the industry’s economic impact rose from $63.5 billion in 2020, to $70.52 billion. Total jobs increased by over 33,000 in the same period, from 342,330 to 375,819. The firearm industry has broader impacts throughout the economy. It supports and generates business for firms seemingly unrelated to firearms, at a time when every job in America counts. These are real people, with real jobs, working in industries as varied as banking, retail, accounting, metal working and printing among others. The firearm and ammunition industry paid over $7.85 billion in business taxes, including property, income and sales-based levies. An additional $1.1 billion was paid in federal excise taxes, which directly contributes to wildlife conservation. “The economic contributions of our industry are indisputably contributing to every state and every community.

The LEDA awards are subject to approval from Albuquerque City Council and will be allocated as Alstate Steel meets economic development benchmarks. “Our decision to stay in New Mexico was not based solely on incentives, but on the expertise of the state and local team, your leaders, and the ability to move quickly and partner with us for everyone’s success. That has stuck with me,” Jeff Wallis, Alstate Steel president, said in a statement. “The culture that I have always expressed in my companies is to care about our clients.” In March, Alstate Steel considered leaving New Mexico for a neighboring state that offered “sizable” incentives.

UArizona tech startup incubator launches at Biosphere 2

The four startups now working at the new Biosphere 2 incubator are the following:

The Un i v er sity o f Ar iz o na Center for Innovation has a new startup incubator that focuses on renewable energy and sustainable tech companies — and it’s at Biosphere 2.

• SolarSpace: A solar energy company looking to harness solar power from highly concentrated photovoltaic systems that take less space and capture more energy than traditional panels.

Biosphere 2, located in the desert on the north side of the Santa Catalina mountains near Tucson, is a laboratory for controlled scientific studies, allowing researchers to study environmental questions by manipulating conditions and using fine monitoring.

• Tectonicus: Another solar company whose projects include a plan to build solar panel arrays over irrigation canals — which the company calls a “solar river.”

Four startups are inaugurating UACI’s program at Biosphere 2, and they will work with mentors, advisers and collaborators to test and demonstrate their technology in specific environments, UACI said.

• Red Sea Farms: A technology company dedicated to enabling sustainable agriculture in harsh environments.

Joaquin Ruiz, UArizona’s vice president for global environmental futures and the director of Biosphere 2, described the partnership as a new step in the research center’s evolution. He said UACI’s program there will result in improvements for the environment, food safety and security, water quality and access, and energy security.

• Over the Sun: A company that uses computer software, documentary film and other resources to built platforms for research and science education.

“It’s been nearly 15 years since the University took over Biosphere 2. It has been a time of incredible growth and evolution from when the Biosphere 2 was simply known as home to the world-famous, closedsystem experiment of the 1990s,” Ruiz said in a statement. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

billion. Reuters reports that the company could be valued at more than $50 billion today. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is under pressure from activist investors to spin off some operations as he invests billions to expand his company’s chip manufacturing in the United States — including at its Ocotillo Campus in Chandler, its largest fab where nearly 12,000 people are employed and where a $40 billion expansion bringing two new fabs and 3,000 more jobs is in the works. Intel indicated last year that after being spun off, Mobileye would include Intel’s teams working on lidar and radar technologies as well as Moovit, the trip-planning app developer Intel acquired in 2021. Intel said it intends to retain majority ownership of Mobileye and continue to collaborate with it after the latter goes public. In February, Mobileye said it plans to build self-driving electric shuttle vehicles with partners and launch service in the United States in 2024. It is partnering with Austriabased Benteler EV Systems and Florida-based Beep Inc. for on-demand shuttles that would have 12 to 14 seats but no steering wheel or pedal. It plans to launch service in Israel and Germany by the end of this year, pending regulatory approvals. It is also working with Burlingame, California-based Udelv Inc. on automated electric delivery vehicles that it plans to start running in the United States by 2023.

The US Has an Opportunity to Lead on Aluminum China and Russia are among the top producers, and neither is a good source. The ongoing crisis in Ukraine presents another reminder of America’s reliance on problematic sources for essential products and materials. We already are experiencing price hikes stemming from sanctions on many Russian companies and c o m m o d i t i e s . F ro m passenger airplanes to kitchen appliances, aluminum is one of those foundational industrial materials that a modern society needs to function—in addition to being an essential component of many systems used by the U.S. military. Today, the global picture for aluminum is not promising overall— for American interests or values. There is an opportunity for America to take a leading role in more cleanly produced aluminum as part of a long overdue revival of manufacturing. But only if our government is willing to pursue the right incentives and investments here at home. Currently, the world’s top aluminum producer – at nearly 60% – is China, a highly polluting source because of its heavy

reliance on coal for the electricity. China’s market dominance was largely achieved via illegal “dumping” practices that devastated the U.S. aluminum industry (now less than six primary smelters and 2 percent of the world total, down from more than 20 smelters and 30 percent of global production during the 1980s). Today, only one U.S. smelter can produce the highpurity aluminum used for critical infrastructure and military applications. A major factor driving the economics of aluminum – and its environmental impact – is electricity, which accounts for some 40 percent of production costs. Russian companies produce nearly 6 percent of the world’s aluminum but produce as much as 20 percent of the emerging “green” market,” meaning aluminum produced from electricity with minimum fossil fuel emissions. The second largest aluminum company in the world is a Russian corporation tied to the regime that is mauling Ukraine. Rusal was founded by a Putin oligarch (and sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2018). Rusal introduced a low-carbon aluminum brand in 2017 that now covers roughly 80 percent of Rusal’s total output.

NORTH SOUTH IS GROWING AGAIN! Introducing the New Machining Division Walking into a North South Machinery facility just feels unlike any other Machine Tool distributor. Their passion for all things performance radiates thru the building. In one corner you can find an industry-leading high precision Machine Tool running customer demos, and in the other… a vintage Senna-liveried Formula1 race car. The next room down may have the latest in Automation Technology on display, just steps away from their track ready Porsche GT3RS Clubsport. It’s an ethos that’s been deeply engrained in the North South DNA by CEO Jim Swartzbaugh — dating back some 37 years to the company’s inception in the garage of he and wife Madonna’s Southern California home. When asked about the unique mixture of ‘Tools & Toys’ in the showroom, Swartzbaugh immediately reflected back to his roots, “Speed, Performance, Precision… It’s been a theme almost my entire life. Whether it was working in my father’s machine shop as a young boy, riding dirt bikes with my brothers, racing cars with my son or running a Machine Tool distributorship… its that perfect marriage between man and machine that has always been magical to me.” North South now prepares to take another step in that marriage, as it has announced the expansion of their operations to include their newly formed ‘Machining Division’. “You know us for our EDM and Fabrication products and services”, says Jim, “And today we are introducing our new Machining Division, where we will offer our customers some of the industries best milling and turning products. The new Machining Division will be headed up by Machine Tool veteran Bob Nugent, who we are proud to announce will serve as group President.” While not new to world of machining, the formalization of this new division at North South is just the latest sign of growth for their team. The purchase of not one, but two Phoenix area facilities in recent years brings their total footprint to six locations and approaching 60 employees nationwide. The addition of several dedicated Applications Specialists and experienced Service Technicians to the team leave little doubt that North South is serious about its dedication to supporting this new division and its customers, not just selling to them. Brian Juarez, Arizona Regional Sales Manager, says, “As long as I’ve been at North South, we’ve never viewed ourselves as a ‘Sales Team’ — we pride ourselves on pairing high quality equipment with decades of application expertise to ensure our customers always have the right tools and knowledge to maximize the capabilities of the equipment they procure from us.” A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 44 • May / June 2022

Logan Harrington is a key team member who supports North South’s customers in the Machining Division. “I joined the North South Machinery team because I believe in their business model, which is ‘service first’. At North South, we have a diverse set of tools that we can support our customers with, and we offer machines that range from entry level to extremely high precision advanced machines. Our on-site operations training, our applications support, and our extensive inventory of machines are just some of the reasons I knew North South Machinery would be a place where I could be my very best in supporting customers.”

Introducing North South’s Newest Line, Toyoda JTEKT

With the announcement of North South’s expanded Machining Division, the news that a partnership with Toyoda JTEKT will be anchoring this expansion has brought elevated excitement to group. The Japanese-owned line of Machine Tools are well known in the manufacturing world for their durability and precision – from their Milling & Turning Centers to their Grinding Machines as well as their Flexible Automated Solutions. Bob Nugent, who was recently brought on to head up the North South Machining Division, says, “The team that has been assembled here, and the partnership with well known brand like Toyoda JTEKT really has us all extremely excited about the potential here. Not to mention our continued growth with several other high end brands like Starrag & OPS Ingersoll, and the incredible automation solutions they bring to the party… we’ve got very high goals for what we feel we can bring to the market, and our loyal customers in particular.” Toyoda machines opened for business in 1941 with a grinding machine, specifically manufactured to support a major Japanese automotive company. Decades later, Toyoda expanded their lineup to horizontal machining centers, and later incorporated automation systems, vertical machining centers, turning lathes, and bridge and boring mills.


MEET YOUR ARIZONA / SOUTHWEST TEAM! Bob Nugent —is the company’s newest member, though if you are in our precision machining industry, likely you know Bob. As President of the newly formed Machine Tool Division, Bob will support North South’s customers in milling/turning solutions throughout the entire Western USA. Bob brings a wealth of experience in the machine tool industry, having held senior management and sales positions over the past 3 decades at machine tool builders and dealers. Bob earned his degree in business from the University of Southern California and is a CMTSE (Certified Machine Tool Sales Engineer). Bob is married with 2 children and he loves to work out. He loves anything outdoors, though he has not tried mountain biking, yet... Bob says that he is really excited to expand North South’s offerings to Arizona customers; from fabrication and non-traditional machining (EDM), and now to machining (mill/turn), 3D and automation.

To reach Bob: Cell: 562-412-7276; Bob@northsouthmachinery.com Brian Juarez — With his 17 years of tenure at North South Machinery, Brian is both a grizzled

industry veteran, as well as a young gun within a company that features many 25 & 30 year-plus members. His enthusiasm and energy has been instrumental in building North South’s presence in Arizona, having come to our sunny state in 2016 full time as the Regional Sales Manager. Brian is very thankful to the North South team, as in his words, “When I came to the company years ago, I had little experience in the industry. I was mentored, trained, and educated by some of the best minds in the industry.” Today, Brian lives in Chandler, Arizona, with his wife Sheila and their eight year old daughter Haylee. In his spare time, Brian loves spending time with his family, and he enjoys any type of fishing, dirt biking and flying RC airplanes.

Logan Harrington — Rejoined the North South team earlier this year in a Division Sales Manager

role after spending time amongst the manufacturer ranks for the past several years. During his decade long career in the machining industry, Logan has had the opportunity to work with both German and Japanese builders at the factory and distributor level. As an ex-Service Technician, Logan recognizes just how critical service is to his customers. Immediately upon meeting him, you will see that Logan is a gregarious person. Years ago, his management team saw in Logan this talent, and sought to capitalize on his service / machine tool expertise and leverage it into a sales position. Today, Logan brings this sales experience from Southern California to Arizona.

Logan is married and his new baby daughter Johanna just arrived! Logan loves dirt biking in his spare time (good luck now that baby has arrived!) Logan’s charity initiatives are in supporting causes for Animal Welfare, Children, Environment and Science and Technology.

Lucid Announces New Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance Model with 1,050 Horsepower

SmartAdHalfPAgegA2ZMarch2022.indd 1

Lucid Group, Inc., setting new standards with the longest-range, fastest-charging electric car on the market, announced that it has begun customer deliveries of Lucid Air Grand Touring and that it will introduce a new version of Lucid Air, the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance. With 1,050 horsepower, the dual-motor Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance is the most powerful electric vehicle currently available in North America. It also boasts a no-compromise EPA-estimated driving range of 446 miles. The Lucid Air Grand Touring will soon be joined by an exciting new version of the Air: the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance. With 1,050 horsepower, the dual-motor Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance is the most powerful electric vehicle currently available in North America – and with an EPA-estimated driving range of 446 miles, still more than any other brands’ electric vehicles, it doesn’t compromise. Two of Lucid’s proprietary electric motors – one at each axle – propel the Air Grand Touring Performance from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.6 seconds. It will have an MSRP of $179,000 and customer deliveries in the U.S. are slated to begin in June 2022. I “Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance answers the strong demand we

continue to see for higher-performance 2/17/22 3:32 PM versions of the Lucid Air,” said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Group. “The remarkable speed with which we are able to conceive and bring this model to market is possible only because of Lucid’s high degree of vertical integration and in-house production of our proprietary EV powertrain and battery pack technology.” The retail launch of the Lucid Air Grand Touring model range signifies a major milestone in Lucid’s growth, as it is the first production series to be introduced following the sold-out Lucid Air Dream Edition, limited to 520 units. “Lucid Air Grand Touring epitomizes the promise of the Lucid brand – a triumvirate of industry-leading range and efficiency, stellar driving dynamics, and luxurious interior space,” said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Group. “This unparalleled fusion of attributes is the product of Lucid’s groundbreaking in-house technology, exemplified by our miniaturized drive units with unrivaled power density and race-proven 900V+ battery and power architecture.” A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

South Korea-based electronics giant LG is planning a $2.8 billion plant in Queen Creek, which town documents say will create 2,800 jobs and include 1 million square feet of new development. Queen Creek Town Council voted at its March meeting on a development agreement and foreign trade zone recommendation for ES America LLC for 300 acres of land that are part of a larger, 650-acre parcel that will be sold at an Arizona State Land Department auction on April 19. The items were approved 5-2 without discussion from the Council. Councilmembers Leah Martineau and Emilena Turley voted against approval. City documents show that the company chose Queen Creek after a “national search involving multiple states.” City documents do not specify the exact use for the plant, simply calling it an “advanced manufacturing facility.” LG Energy Solution and electric truck manufacturer Nikola Corp. announced in October 2021 that they had entered into a battery supply agreement. That agreement would supply Nikola trucks with LG batteries from 2022 to 2029. According to the development agreement, ES America would begin production at the Valley facility in 2024. The town agreed to defer all building and permitting fees for the project, and upon completion, if the project meets the promise of creating 2,800 jobs, the town will waive the deferred fees. Pinal County will also reimburse the company training costs of $3,000 per Pinal County resident employed and $1,500 per non-Pinal County resident employed. A foreign trade zone designation provides a property tax benefit by reducing the real and personal property tax assessment ratio to 5% from 18%. LG will still have to buy the land at a public auction on April 19. The starting bid for the land is $84.44 million. In December, the Town Council unanimously approved rezoning the 600 acres of land controlled by the Arizona State Land Department for employment uses. The site is bounded to the south by Germann Road and to the west by Ironwood Drive. The Phoenix area has become a landing spot for largescale battery manufacturing and electric and alternativefuel vehicle manufacturers. For example, KORE Power Inc., an Idaho-based battery cell developer, is building a $500 million plant in Buckeye where it plans to employ 3,000 people. By Corina Vanek – Phoenix Business Journal

Improving English Skills Could Ease Talent Shortage “When you can match the learning to skills actually needed on the job, you can move people up quickly, which is essential today given the skill shortage, especially in manufacturing,” explains Katie Brown, founder of EnGen.

As she stood at the front of the class teaching English as a second language, Katie Brown wondered how her students would become proficient enough in English to be able to apply their skills to jobs in their new country. Immigrants to the U.S. comprise a large number. A November 2021 analysis of the Census Bureau’s s monthly Current Population Survey showed that the total immigrant population in the U.S. hit 46.2 million, the highest number ever recorded in American history. The economic power of this group can be measured in a few ways. According to the American Immigration Council, residents of immigrant-led households had $1.3 trillion in spending power (after-tax income) in 2019. From a business perspective, 3.2 million immigrant business owners accounted for 22% of all self-employed U.S. residents in 2019 and generated $86.3 billion in business income. From an education level, a third of adult immigrants had a college degree or more education in 2019, while over a fourth had less than a high school diploma.The level of English proficiency, however, is hard to determine. But according to a 2018 A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 50 • May / June 2022

report from the Migration Policy Institute, English learning language programs for immigrants—largely run through local nonprofits, community colleges, and school districts—are serving less than 4% of the need. It was for that exact reason—to make language learning more accessible and effective—that Brown started on this journey. Ten years and ten patents later, she created EnGen, a skills-focused, virtual English language learning platform that helps companies such as Chobani, whose employees are learning English to enable them to do their jobs better. In Chobani’s case, the employees are using specifically tailored programs to improve food safety. “Traditional programs that taught English were not useful to how people performed their jobs, and so the skills these employees either already had, or could be trained to learn, were not accessible,” says Brown, who holds the title of Chief Education Officer and Founder at EnGen. “We use assessments to determine what language gaps exist that are preventing people from upward mobility at their jobs. And as employers are facing a job skills shortage, especially in manufacturing, this is an excellent and fairly easy way to bridge that gap.” Brown, using AI-based language software, has created language courses across several sectors including the U.S. government, universities as well as language training centers. “I have conducted extensive empirical research on how to design online language programs that are efficient, effective, and entertaining. The key to success for this type of learning is that it’s adapted to the context, and it’s integrated. The workplace is the ideal place to learn a language as

it’s used immediately.” Brown notes that their online content delivery system is created by subject matter experts and offers career-specific instruction. “The courses are designed for upskilling and reskilling and match industry requirements, such as OSHA safety standards,” Brown says. Training often leads to promotions notes Brown. She provides the example of Cambria, a manufacturer of American-made quartz surfaces. One of the company’s employees, who moved to the U.S. from the Philippines, was trained and onboarded as a QA inspector, and with her EnGen courses built into her schedule, is now the QA lead Each employer uses the system differently, notes Brown. Some offer it as a benefit, others use it for professional development, and it’s housed in different parts of the company.

colleagues 16% received a new job offer 11% received a pay raise 10% received a promotion

In terms of employee productivity and satisfaction, 80% of learners said improving their English helped them save time at work, while 65% ranked their job-skill improvement a 4 or 5 on a 0-to-5 Likert scale. Those who were highly engaged with the platform demonstrated more workplace-related benefits: of 557 respondents, higher engagers were 30% more likely to rate their job skill improvement a 4 or 5 on a 0-to-5 scale than lower engagers. Furthermore, 24% more of higher-engaged learners rated their confidence improvement a 4 or 5 on a 0-to-5 scale as a result of their improved English.” “Often overlooked, being proficient in English is the key to unlocking opportunity,” says Brown. “Our mission is to use the technology that has evolved over the years to place learning into the hands of employees, and organizations in a way that is directly applicable to their jobs. And from a societal perspective, we want to ensure that millions of immigrants have the English skills necessary to succeed.”Source: Industry Week A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

New Jersey manufacturer’s expansion into New Mexico to add more than 300 jobs An energy manufacturer that creates wire cables to help power solar and wind energy units will expand its manufacturing presence into New Mexico. The expansion of New Jersey-based Wind Turbine Energy Corp. is expected to bring 315 jobs to the state. Known as WTEC Energy Innovation, the company will move into a facility in Chamberino in Doña Ana County. The 68,000-square-foot facility had been used to process pet food until about 2014. Once renovated, WTEC Energy Innovation will begin manufacturing steel-wire cables. The company plans to use the facility to eventually produce wind towers. “We have said all along that these policies will pay off — creating real jobs for real New Mexicans,” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said. “WTEC is coming to Southern New Mexico, along with 315 new jobs, because of our commitment to supporting manufacturing businesses that help us diversify the economy and boost energy innovation and transition.” The company’s expansion is expected to have an economic impact of $409 million over the next 10 years. In turn, the state has also dedicated $2 million in Local Economic Development Act incentives. LEDA incentives are used as a closing fund to grow existing New Mexico businesses and recruit others to the state. WTEC will use the money for land, building, and infrastructure improvements at the facility. Doña Ana County will act as the fiscal agent for the money and disperse it to WTEC when certain benchmarks are met.

Hiring for the manufacturing facility is expected to begin in early 2022 and annual salaries will start at $37,000, the state’s Economic Development Department said. All 315 employee openings are expected to be filled by 2027. The company, which was founded in 2002, chose New Mexico over Texas due to a more “collaborative business climate,” the state’s Economic Development Department said. New Mexico also offered closer proximity to the growing solar and wind sector in the Western portion of the United States. WTEC’s partnership with the state’s Economic Development Department and Mesilla Valley Economic Alliance, which provided site selection and technical assistance, convinced the company that New Mexico was a solid choice for its manufacturing operations. WTEC also chose Southern New Mexico as it is in close proximity to some of its suppliers in El Paso. By Matt Narvaiz – Albuquerque Business First A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

Proudly Manufacturing Gaming/Casino Products In Las Vegas, Nevada....And Machining Their Products on USA Made Haas Machines It is truly inspiring to hear about a company that is manufacturing all of their products here in the United States. Sure, this happens all the time, but often our US manufacturing entities can manufacture here in the United States because the products, including aerospace and defense, can’t be outsourced. VSR Industries’ products could be manufactured anywhere in the world, yet they are successfully manufactured here in the US. VSR Industries’ products are largely manufactured for the gaming/ casino industry, including their gaming locks, slot bases dividers, and slot cabinets. They have gained customers in a wide array of government agencies, including the Airforce and Army services, where VSR keys and locks can be seen. Established more than a half century ago, in 1969, VSR Industries has grown from a simple locksmith operation into several manufacturing facilities totaling over 250,000 sq. ft., with over 280 employees across the globe. All manufacturing is done in house here in the United States, in Henderson, Nevada (a suburb of Las Vegas), which allows the company to control every aspect of what becomes their customers’ final product. The company manages its business through 4 divisions: the cabinet division, the wood division, the sheet metal division, and the lock division. The lock decision is the focus of this article. Elisha Sumbani heads up this division. Elisha says, “For years, the name VSR has been synonymous with premium high-security lock products and solutions. With a wide A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 54 • May / June 2022

array of proprietary lock products, at VSR we provide complete control and peace of mind for your casino floor.” He continues, “Our job is to maintain our world class reputation in quality, service and professionalism while educating our clients about VSR products. To us, the customer is the King, and we strive to constantly improve and adapt to developing technologies.” The lock division has recently invested in new Maromatic pinning machines. Sumbani says that “The Lock division used to have 15 assemblers before we bought the Maromatic pinning machine. Each person could pin an average of 150 locks per day. The Maromatic machine made a very big difference as it can pin up an average of 1000 locks per day.” Sumbani says that the management team used the time during the pandemic to improve operations across the company. They found ways to decrease overtime through the application of lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement of their processes. VSR was fortunate to be deemed an essential Business’ and allowed to remain open throughout the Pandemic. Today, the lock division has its own


machine shop. It’s comprised of 5 mills, a lathe and a 5-member crew that works tirelessly to ensure that all internal demands are met for the cabinet and sheet metal divisions. By doing this, Elisha’s team has saved the company time a n d m o n e y, a s opposed to having all of the parts manufacturing outsourced. Elisha says, “We bought our first Haas back in 2014, and today, our mills and lathes are exclusively Haas machines.” Josh Hansen, Business Manager for Ellison Machinery / Haas Factory Outlet, supports the VSR team. Josh says, “All Haas machines are designed and built in Oxnard, California, USA, and our customers who are manufacturing products here in the USA truly appreciate buying an American made machine. The Haas high-performance Super-Speed vertical machining centers provide the high spindle speeds, fast rapids, and quick tool changes necessary for high-volume production and reduced cycle times.” (Josh is pictured with Elisha above.) He continued, “Each SS machine features a 12,000-rpm, inline direct-drive spindle, an ultra-fast side-mount tool changer, and high-speed rapids on all axes. VSR’s newest Haas machine, the VF-4SS, is our best-selling medium-sized VMC — the perfect high-production workhorse.” Elisha says, “We continue to trust and work with the Ellison Machinery team for our CNC machine needs. The reliability of the machines plus the service and follow up we get from Ellison Machinery is outstanding. When we bought our 2nd Haas machine a few years ago, they offered at no charge,

training for all of our machinists.” Also, he added, “With our screw machines, it can take up to a month to get parts, whereas with the Haas machines, getting parts is so fast and simple.” Key employee Joseph Johnson adds, “We recognize the value of sticking with one machine brand — as consistency for our machinists makes it easier to keep the shop running smoothly. With the Haas machines, we are able to get new machinists up and running very quickly — the user interface on these machines is just so intuitive.” VSR is looking for people to join their lock division. Elisha says, “You can have minimum experience in the industry – with a good work ethic and mechanical acumen, we are willing to train.” VSR offers competitive benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off and overtime is available. To learn more about how you can join the VSR team, contact: Haas Automation manufactures a complete line of CNC vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, turning centers, 5-axis machining centers, and rotary products, as well as a wide selection of fully integrated automation solutions.

Where to Start with Robotics and Automation? A State Manufacturers’ Toolkit Has Answers The technology has advanced and the cost come down considerably. Geoff Lipnevicius If manufacturers have learned anything during the last several years, it is that the stakes of doing business have been permanently raised. Prior to 2020, the manufacturing environment was characterized by a focus on quality, cost competitiveness, worker safety and protecting the environment. Over the last couple of years, manufacturers have faced additional imperatives – including how best to operate amid COVID-19, severe labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, steep inflation and geopolitical instability. During this time of turbulence, emerging technology has ushered in what is commonly referred to as Industry 4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This technology – which includes mobile devices, augmented reality, data analytics and artificial intelligence – is rapidly transforming the way manufacturers do business. Combined, these trends present an unprecedented opportunity for manufacturers in America. Today, the major question is not if a manufacturer will adopt automation and A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 56 • May / June 2022

advanced technologies, but rather when and how. Adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies is a matter of survival – not only for large manufacturing companies, but also for small and mid-sized manufacturers.The long-term viability of these businesses likely depends on their ability to increase productivity while reducing costs. Of the new Industry 4.0 applications being deployed in manufacturing operations, applied robotics have experienced the most growth. But more often than not, firsttime adopters are apprehensive for fear of making an expensive mistake. According to the Manufacturing Institute, 1 in 3 manufacturers report that insufficient resources and expertise could limit their i n v e s t m e n t i n e m e rg i n g technologies. Many myths continue to deter U.S. manufacturers from purchasing next-generation technology that would enhance their competitiveness. These myths include: Industry 4.0 systems are expensive and difficult to justify. These systems are only for large manufacturers that have highquantity production. It takes a highly trained and well-compensated employee to program or operate a system. The reality is that the actual cost of this emerging manufacturing technology has dropped by 25% to 50% in recent years, while software capabilities, speed and flexibility have been significantly enhanced. M a n u f a c t u re r s t h at h a v e adopted Industry 4.0 technology have discovered it is unnecessary to dedicate a flexible robot to a single task. Moreover, programming

Q&A: Fujifilm’s Expanded Mesa Facility Will Help Grow The Semiconductor Market In late March, Fujifilm Electronic Materials U.S.A. Inc., announced it had completed the $88 million expansion of its manufacturing facility in Mesa. The expanded facility adds 80,000 square feet to the existing facility and includes five new buildings and could increase the company’s production of materials used by other companies to make semiconductors by 30%. The Business Journal chatted with Brian O’Donnelly, the president and CEO of Fujifilm Electronic Materials U.S.A. Inc., and the global vice president of Fujifilm Electronic Materials Division, about the expanded facility and what it means for the semiconductor industry. The following was edited for clarity and brevity. Semiconductors have been big news the last few years. How will your expanded plant help that industry grow as needed? We are a vital part of that supply chain. Semiconductor manufacturing — what Intel, TSMC and Micro do — that was about a $556 billion industry in 2021 and it grew 26% year over year. That industry is going to grow to be about $1 trillion by 2030. With all that growth, we are expanding too because we are a major supplier of the materials that they use in the chip manufacturing plants. Your expanded plant doesn’t just have manufacturing facilities but also a research and development lab. Why is that necessary? We do two things for the semiconductor industry: First, we’re constantly developing new products to meet next generation technologies. As the industry brings out the latest and greats chips — we enable that by developing the new products. The second thing we do is supply the chemicals to keep the factories running. In the new product development area — we invest heavily. Even though it is a manufacturing plant, we have a number of R&D labs that have state of the art equipment that allow us, not only to develop the product, but test it and show its functional capability.

• 58 • May / June 2022

You want to hire 120 new employees, to add to the 400 already in Mesa by 2024. Do you have concerns about your ability to find the talent? The industry in general faces challenges with recruitment. It’s challenging but we offer great opportunities for employees to come and join a very exciting area. In addition to all the R&D work we do, we’ve installed a Fujifit Gym inside the facility and it’s a state-ofthe-art facility, so we are taking measures to make ourselves attractive as an employer.By Brandon Brown – Phoenix Business Journal

Those findings come from the latest data from payroll and benefits provider Gusto, which pulls from its 200,000 customers and found that its own proprietary quit rate fell from 3.7% in January to 3.1% in February — slightly higher than the 2.9% seen in February, 2021. Based on March data so far that quit rate will rise back to 3.6% in March, slightly above the 3.4% seen in March 2021. “Gusto data shows that, during The Great Resignation, workers have largely not been leaving the workforce altogether, but have been leveraging this tight labor market to switch jobs within their current industry,” said Gusto Economist Luke Pardue in the report. He said the industries with the highest quit rates, such as facilities, food and beverage, and accommodations are the same industries that are seen the largest hiring rates, suggesting that workers are simply looking for better jobs as opposed to leaving the workforce altogether.But not all companies are seeing equal quit rates. Those that offer retirement benefits or IRAs to its workers are seeing

quit rates that are 25% lower than firms without those benefits. Businesses that offered health i n s u r a n c e a re also seeing lower quit rates.

Quit rates as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show about 4.3 million workers left their jobs in February, or about 2.9%, according to preliminary numbers. That is slightly below the record highs reported in 2021 and down from the 3% seen in November and December. Wages have also gone up across the country, according to separate data provided by Gusto. Wages in smaller metro areas across the country soared over the last year while wages in big metropolitan areas such as New York and Los Angeles grew slower. “These patterns are a direct result of the ongoing economic effects of the pandemic, which has shifted economic growth away from America’s superstar cities towards smaller metropolitan areas and has accelerated the prepandemic rise of the South as an economic growth engine,” said Gusto Economist Luke Pardue. Other benefits in high demand right now include flexibility, whether that’s in the form of remote work, hybrid work or even the increasingly popular four-day workweek. And surveys show workers are willing to walk out if they don’t get what they want. About 50% of employees working remotely would look for a new job if they were required to come into the office full time, according to a separate Robert Half survey of 1,000 professionals. That sentiment is up 16 percentage points from one year ago, with millennials most likely to call it quits if called back to the office, at about 65%. A survey of more than 6,000 office or technology workers around the world by workplace automation company Ivanti found 71% of respondents would prefer remote work to a promotion. Thanks to those factors, small-business owners across the country have had to increasingly pony up for workers. About 50% of small-business owners said they raised pay over the last three months, according to separate survey by the National Federation of Independent Business, a 48-year high. Small businesses are also finding themselves increasingly competing with big companies when it comes to salaries. Tech giant Amazon.com Inc. made headlines recently when it doubled its base pay cap to $350,000. By Andy Medici – Senior Reporter, The Playbook

the same objective, and in 2018, the Trump administration allocated a healthy slice of its $633.9 million aeronautics research budget to the task.

TVT DIE CASTING

Scholl founded Boom because he was surprised no one was applying advances in aviation tech to supersonic jets. “We’re trying to do for commercial airplanes what SpaceX is doing for rockets,” he says.

Precision aluminum and zinc die casting, machining and finishing.

The company expects to spend $6 billion or $7 billion bringing its jet, dubbed “the Overture,” to market. So far it has raised about $141 million. That’s only a little more than it’ll cost to build the XB‑1. Starting so small is unusual—but essential given that Boom’s ultimate goal is a 170,000‑odd‑pound airliner capable of Mach 2.2. It’s highly likely they won’t get it right the first time, Scholl admits.

Quality, Reliability and Service

Boom’s headquarters, a gleaming white hangar in a suburb of Denver, bustles with activity. In one corner, a team assembles a mock‑up of the Overture’s interior, which features wide seats, wood trim, and a locker under each berth instead of an overhead bin. Not far away, engineers stress‑test the carbon‑fiber horizontal stabilizer—that’s the little winglet on a plane’s tail—of the XB‑1 demonstrator. A growing collection of parts, including a pile of Goodyear aircraft tires, fills one room. Here and there you see models of the airliner, ambitiously sporting the liveries of carriers from around the world. At 170 feet long, the jet will be a bit shorter than a Boeing 777. With a pinpoint nose and triangular delta wing that spans just 60 feet, it will look like a dart. A full‑size mock‑up of the demonstrator, which will carry two people at 1,400 mph, sits in the middle of the hangar. Airplanes are typically designed around their engines, and the ones that will power the Overture are perhaps its greatest barrier to success—be‑ cause they don’t exist. For its business to work, Boom needs a propulsion

Meet Solstar Space Co., our inaugural Inno Madness champion A Santa Fe startup that helps people connect to out-of-this-world technologies is the first-ever Inno Madness champion. Solstar Space Co. beat Build With Robots in the final round of voting to take home the crown. The friendly, bracket-style contest got underway with 16 New Mexico startups. The goal was to showcase a variety of innovative tech startups across the state. Solstar’s innovations focus on internet connectivity. The internet might be widespread on earth, but connections can be limited in space. That means operators of satellites and other space objects may not be able to consistently send or receive data from their airborne technology. Solstar, formed five years ago, offers solutions via devices that are meant to facilitate space-based connectivity. “Pretty much any commercial space endeavor requires communications,” said Solstar CEO and former NASA scientist Brian Barnett. Traditionally, operators communicate with spacecraft through ground stations. But one of Solstar’s products, called the Deke Space Communicator, A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

is meant to provide connection with satellite communications. “Historically, the way that one communicates with their space asset … there’s 90% of an orbit you’re unable to be in contact with your asset. It has to fly over a specific ground station. But with our technology, you can be in contact with it, you know, almost any time during an orbit,” Barnett said. The second product is a Wi-Fi “access point” that will provide connection in the vicinity, similar to what you’d see offered to passengers on a commercial airliner. So rather than “blanketing space with Wi-Fi,” the device provides “a local Wi-Fi signal for both astronauts and instruments inside space stations and outside space stations,” Barnett said. “Basically, this doesn’t exist yet — the Wi-Fi access points that areable to be used in space — are just not available yet,” Barnett said. “But there’s a high demand for them.” In terms of funding, Solstar has “close to $2 million on the [equity] crowdfunding side,” Barnett said.The company has offices in Santa Fe and Albuquerque,with workersin Washington state, Europe, Silicon Valley, Texas, Colorado and South Carolina. “It will be headquartered here [in New Mexico]. But we’re going to have to adapt to just managing the company with talent located in different places,” Barnett said. By Collin Krabbe - Technology reporter

Semiconductor startup Moov signs lease for new HQ in Tempe Moov, a startup that operates an online marketplace for used semiconductor equipment, has signed a lease at 100 Mill in Tempe which will serve as the company’s new head office. Moov, which relocated from California last year, will occupy 32,000 square feet that includes the entire 16th floor and stipulates exterior signage on the building. Construction in Tempe is nearly complete. The building, 287,000 square feet on 18 floors, is being co-developed by Cousins Properties and Hines; Deloitte, Amazon and LiveRamp have also leased space. Steven Zhou, cofounder and CEO of Moov, said leasing this space and putting the Moov name up on the building helps establish the company in a big way. “With this headquarters, it really helps further solidify Moov as a major player in the entire semiconductor industry in Arizona,” he said.

Moov currently has about 50 employees but plans to hire about 100 more this year. About 20% of the workforce is expected to be in Austin, Texas, where Moov recently established an office,

and the remaining 80% of employees will be in Arizona. Zhou said the company is working on a custom buildout of the space that could eventually house nearly 200 full-time employees. Zhou said Moov is embracing the evolution of the workplace and not establishing a strict policy on how often people need to come into the office. He said they expect to move in during the second half of this year. “If you’re a manufacturing company, and you urgently need a new piece of equipment because your manufacturing line is down, you can’t wait a year or two,” he said. “So we’re just seeing a flood of customers coming to the second-hand market.” America’s semiconductor manufacturing workforce is concentrated in a handful of states, one of which is Arizona. The Congressional Research Service found that about 10% of the nation’s semiconductor workforce was based in Arizona, which made it the 4th largest workforce in this sector behind California, Oregon and Texas.
