Intramotev is creating a world where no railcar sits idle, and not a gallon or liter of fossil fuel is used to move them. Intramotev is changing the future of freight transport! Our solution: the TugVolt self-propelled railcar. Battery-electric with remote or self-propelled operation to enable rail to be the most competitive freight transport mode for the next 200 years. I’ll share an impressive video of our TugVolt prototype. In addition, as an alumnus of Washington University in St. Louis, I’ll discuss the various engineering disciplines that you can get your Bachelor’s degree either here at UPRM or at Wash U that are important to Intramotev. This includes my engineering background that has contributed to my successful career at The Boeing Company, Intramotev, and as a professor at UPRM and Wash U. Please come spend some time with me, ask me questions and hear some great stories

Medtronic uses engineering innovation to create advanced medical devices that improve patient care. By using a system called Flow Acceleration, work processes are faster and more efficient, ensuring the delivery of value to customers quickly. Another method used is DMAIC, which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. This helps them identify problems, find solutions, and keep improving processes. Flow Acceleration aligns with the DMAIC methodology to enhance problem-solving and process optimization. By combining these techniques, Medtronic effectively identifies waste, optimizes processes, and fosters continuous improvement to continually enhance products and services, making healthcare better for everyone.
