EP. 21 – CAT® SAFETY VR: CATERPILLAR’S NEW VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING SOLUTION FOR CONTRACTORS, WITH JUSTIN GANSCHOW

Summary from the Podcast website:

“Statistics show that up to 90 percent of construction job site accidents are caused by unsafe behavior, not conditions. However, according to Justin Ganschow of Caterpillar Safety Services, worksite rookies and veterans alike can benefit from learning critical safety lessons in a controlled, virtual reality (VR) environment.

In this episode, Ganschow takes AEM inside the Cat® Safety VR program, including a memorable hands-on demo, and explains the lessons that other equipment manufacturers can take away from the program’s success—like why workers who are trained on VR systems are more likely to remember their training than those who learn in a traditional classroom setting.”

Episode 231: What to do with Wi-Fi 6 and voice in the enterprise

Summary from the Podcast website:

“What is Wi-Fi 6? Should you care? We tackle these questions first up in this week’s podcast. From there, Kevin and I discuss the Bluetooth KNOB vulnerability and our fears of how smart home data could affect a Chinese-style social credit score. To lighten things up I talk about my visit with Microsoft, and experience with the Hololens 2 as well as Microsoft’s digital twin strategy. In the news segments, we cover the new Eero security service, the Nest doorbell package detection, and Fitbit’s proposed health service. We then answer a listener question about smart spigots.”

QAQC Valve Over Hard Ceilings

Summary from the YouTube Channel:

“In larger models, finding critical issues is a lot like playing a game of Where’s Waldo. Both Dynamo and Revit can be a huge help here and, in this video, we will show how we can use Dynamo geometry and logic to find hard-to-access piping valves hidden above a hard ceiling and create a color-coded Revit schedule to identify and fix them before they turn into costly RFI.”
