Welcome to Episode 273In this episode, we explore the idea of replacing Skazz with an AI and dive into the UK's new age verification laws, discussing why they're both misguided and poorly conceived. We also examine Steam's recent decision to remove certain games from its platform due to pressure from payment processors.On the gaming front, Skazz has picked up the expansion pass for Splatoon 3, which features two DLC packs: "Inkopolis" and "Side Order." Focusing primarily on Side Order, Skazz first recaps the base game's story mode and explains how it effectively trains players in core mechanics before transitioning to the expansion content. Side Order introduces a roguelite mode to the game, though Skazz reveals how Heroes of Hammerwatch may have spoiled the experience for him.Meanwhile, Ram has been manufacturing sedans in the car factory simulator Production Line. He's been optimizing his factory assembly line and researching new features for his car models while trying to grasp various business concepts, things are not going according to plan.NotesWe're not saying you could use this tool to bypass picture verification... but we're not not saying it either:One of the most misguided pieces of government legislation:The concerning trend of game removals on Steam:A roguelite mode in Splatoon? The Side Order expansion delivers:Optimize your car factory and research heated seats before the competition in Production Line:We look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast live steam on the 14th Auguest 2025, at 18:30 GMT+1.

Join us as we explore the dynamic world of sourcing with Isaac Hetzroni, aka @thesourcingguy, a rising influencer known for his insightful content on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Isaac, though lesser-known in the Amazon space, shares his extensive experience in manufacturing, having grown up in the industry with his family's apparel and electronics factories. He provides valuable insights on whether businesses should look beyond China for sourcing, and shares practical tips on understanding product costs and minimizing risks. Isaac's engaging social media presence brings these topics to life, making sourcing strategies both informative and entertaining. We'll also examine the complexities and misconceptions surrounding sourcing from China, where advanced infrastructure and a skilled workforce have cemented its status as a manufacturing powerhouse. Despite pushes for diversification, replicating China's efficiency in other countries presents significant challenges.

The discussion extends to global manufacturing trends and China's impact on the U.S. market, including the rise of Factory to Consumer strategies and the role of AI in overcoming language barriers, all of which are reshaping global trade relationships. In this episode, we emphasize the importance of building strong business relationships, especially when dealing with Chinese suppliers. Personal connections often intertwine with professional dealings, and trade shows play a crucial role in maintaining these relationships. We explore strategies for finding the best suppliers beyond platforms like Alibaba, using tools such as Import Yeti and trade shows to discover high-quality factories. Additionally, we highlight the importance of quality control and the advantages of diversifying supply chains to new regions. Tune in to gain insights into effective sourcing strategies, quality control, and the evolving landscape of global manufacturing.

SUNNYVALE, California, Tuesday, March 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), announced that Kikkoman Corporation, the world's leading soy sauce producer, has used Matterport's Digital Twin Platform to create a digital twin of the company's historic Goyogura soy sauce brewery. Originally established in 1939 as a dedicated facility supplying soy sauce to the Imperial Household Agency of Japan, the Goyogura brewery produces some of Kikkoman's premium series of soy sauces, including the ‘Goyogura Shoyu' and the D2C exclusive brand, 'Kikkoman Honten'. Although the brewery was moved to the current location in 2011 due to its age, it is still constructed with original elements of the historic facility like wooden barrels, stone walls, and gates, continuing to preserve its traditional brewing methods to supply the Imperial Household Agency with its world-renowned soy sauces. Using Matterport's Property Marketing solution, Kikkoman aims to offer factory tours to consumers so that it can be shared with the world. Enriched with notes, guides and videos, the digital twin serves as an educational resource for understanding and preserving the traditions and culture of soy sauce production. The company is also considering Matterport's Facilities Management solution for maintenance, repairs and measuring the space to reduce equipment management costs and time on site. By minimizing the need for personnel to physically enter and inspect the facility, the company would be able to save time and effort for hygiene management. The Goyogura brewery was captured quickly with Matterport's Capture Services and the Pro3, minimizing disruption to the facility's operations and ensuring low-impact on the historic equipment. Equipped with lidar and RGB sensors, Matterport's Pro3 produces both photo-realistic 3D tours and photos as well as detailed point cloud data that can be used for BIM (.ifc, .rvt) and CAD (.dwg) files. “As part of the branding of the ‘Goyogura Shoyu' and the ‘Kikkoman Honten' series, we believed that allowing customers to see the traditional brewing methods of the production site would create interest in the craftsmanship of our brewing process,” said Kaname Tsuji, Manager of the EC Strategy Group, Products Management Division. “Having seen the accuracy and smoothness of the technology, we considered Matterport capable of conveying the reality of the Goyogura brewery, providing access to areas of the facility which visitors cannot step in. We hope that through this special access, including views of the interior of our cedar brewing barrels, which are usually seen through glass, we will delight our customers as part of our exhibitions and communication on the D2C exclusive 'Kikkoman Honten'.” “We are honored that Kikkoman, a symbol of Japanese food culture, is using our services,” said Howard Xiao, President and Operating Officer of Matterport Japan K.K. “We hope that by utilizing Matterport, the charm and craftsmanship of traditional soy sauce production will be passed on to generations to come, not only in Japan but also overseas. We also look forward to supporting Kikkoman's consideration of uses in the future, such as our Facilities Management solutions, using the power of our digital twin platform as part of this journey.” The 'Goyogura Shoyu Brewery' is part of Matterport Japan's 'Connecting Culture and the Future with Digital Twins' project, which aims to digitize and widely share Japan's cultural properties and historical buildings such as Aso Shrine, Tenzan Sake Brewery and others.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has added the Hilux double-cab and Fortuner 48 V mild hybrids to its local production line-up at its Durban plant in KwaZulu-Natal. The addition of the new models brings Toyota's local hybrid production tally to three, adding to the existing Corolla Cross hybrid assembly. TSAM says the launch of the models "introduces electrification to the pick-up and sports-utility vehicle (SUV) range for the first time". The Hilux is South Africa's best-selling vehicle, while the Fortuner still commands the largest slice of the medium SUV segment in South Africa, with average sales of more 800 units a month and a market share of 40%. "By adding a hybrid 48 V system to the Hilux and Fortuner, Toyota strengthens its inclusive multi-technology pathway approach to carbon neutrality," notes the local arm of the Japanese manufacturer. "Toyota believes all customers need a variety of affordable and practical options, including for commercial and off-road vehicles." The hybrid system uses Toyota's 2.8 l diesel engine. This engine drives a compact motor generator using a belt system, which, in turn, charges the new 48 V, 7.6 kg lithium battery, which is small enough to be installed under the rear seats to minimise impact on cabin space. This battery also supplies the vehicle's 12 V system. Like Toyota's full hybrid electric systems, the battery is charged during deceleration, regenerating braking energy that would otherwise be lost, while also adding additional braking performance. Once charged, the battery sends up to 12 kW of power and 65 Nm of torque through the motor generator to the engine to enhance acceleration, power and efficiency. Toyota says the motor generator is compact and has been designed to withstand the harsher working environments of commercial vehicles, while the engine has been modified to adapt to the hybrid system. "A new two-arm belt tensioner and stronger belt material contribute to the improved drivability and a quieter ride, whilst retaining the vehicle's famous durability." Toyota also notes that the hybrid system, as well as an enhanced stop-start system that allows the engine to remain off for longer periods, both serve to improve fuel efficiency by up to 5% compared with the conventional non-electrified diesel powertrain. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota and Ford are all currently producing some form of hybrid in South Africa, or will soon do so.

“Manufacturing is critical to our national security, our health and our ability to explore new worlds and advance the human condition... VulcanForms exists to move manufacturing forward and be a small piece, hopefully a very important piece, of that future.” VulcanForms is an MIT-born company that builds and operates advanced digital manufacturing infrastructure, founded in 2015. It's named after Vulcan, the roman god of fire and metalworking. Why? Because the company has developed an innovative new way of manufacturing intricate metal parts on an industrial scale. They use metal additive manufacturing, a form of 3D printing to print engineered metal components that require precise designs and complex structures. This means they can have a production line that can at one time be making components for medical devices, then switch to making consumer electronics, and another week be making products for aviation, space exploration or the defence industry. What's more this production line is quieter, cleaner and greener than ever more! Manufacturing components this way instead of the traditional method of forging them cuts down on costs and removes the need for a supply chain. In this episode, Co-Founder John Hart takes us around VulcanOne, VulcanForm's Foundry in Massachusetts, to find out more. We also hear from Brian Thompson at PTC, who tells us about how the 3D CAD software Creo helps the team at VulcanForms collaborate on their designs to perfect this alternative manufacturing process.VulcanForms is supported by PTC Partner PDS Vision, find out more about here Find out more about Creo hereYour host is Paul Haimes from industrial software company PTC.
