This segment is for those of you running a machine shop and trying to take your business to the next level. Lake Speed, Jr. heads down to the shop floor of Straub Technologies to talk with owner Chris Straub about the benefits of investing in automated machinery.
Chris talks about his own hesitation when he made the automation leap (expenses, lack of technical know-how) and how the trouble of hiring good people and turning a profit finally pushed him to do it.
He also runs down the numbers on his costs versus expenses, the efficiencies that automation brings (“making money when the lights are out”), and how Straub Technologies is now better positioned to succeed than many other shops who haven’t made the move.
This is a great segment for any shop owner who wants to keep their business moving forward.
