An interview with Douglas Taylor, CEO of Taylor Devices, reports the company recently expanded its factory into three adjacent buildings, and notes that UB’s Center of Industrial Effectiveness was brought in to study and figure out where each machine had to go for optimized material flow. “It’s great,” he said. “It’s improved our shop efficiency quite a bit.”
The TCIE project was led by Li Lin, a professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
Taylor Devices, and its President, Douglas Taylor, a UB alumnus, have collaborated with Michael Constantinou and others in UB's Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering for more than 25 years. Together, damping technologies have been developed and commercialized to protect buildings, bridges and infrastructure from the effects of extreme earthquake shaking.
