The entertainment industry has finally found a way to educate and entertain us at the same time. If you have ever watched “How It’s Made’ you will see how cleverly they are teaching production methods in a non-educational format. The products being made vary greatly, but the manufacturing process is still fascinating to watch. Partly this occurs due to the fact that they compact what may be a long production time into a few minutes segment.
I was especially excited watching the show one day when they showed one of our company’s bottle unscramblers at work. It was very satisfying to see a machine that our company had built from scratch doing its job perfectly on national television. The show helps shed light on the packaging industry that most consumers take for granted. When a consumer goes to a store and chooses products to purchase, they never give a second thought as to what it takes to produce and package those products.
If you have never seen the show, take some time to watch it. It covers many industries and product lines and is enlightening. You will not take the products you buy for granted after getting an appreciation on how they are made.
