Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM)’s Post

A little delayed here but with the cold Wisconsin weather, I figured a beach picture might be a welcome reprieve for those of us in the Midwest. I moderated a panel session at the AEM Annual back in November in Fort Lauderdale. The Topic was How Equipment Changes Can Ripple Through The Value Chain.   My takeaways: ✔ A large percentage of repairs are still Tier 4 related ✔ These ongoing repairs and service challenges are further complicated (from a product support perspective) by a sprint towards electrification ✔ Dealers would like to see more collaboration from OEM’s on standardizing certain systems (backup camera’s, safety-related systems, etc)   ✔ Training Back to Basics- leverage easy to use tools (like short overview videos) to educate the dealer and end-user on what’s changed in the new product ✔ Lack of technicians amplifies the above challenges Thanks again John Somers and Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) for inviting me! (The power went out temporarily so the session got moved outside)

Right one was the cake! 😋 Jokes aside, it might not be so easy to determine if a firestop product is fully compliant. Test reports are a snapshot of what happens on the day of the test, but what if there are any changes on the product composition during mass production? Changes in raw material selection and production processes can have an impact on the performance of the final product. Third-Party product certification is here to attest the quality of the final solution, helping us to keep our buildings safe. Keep an eye in our future content to learn more about our recently published firestop certification. Make sure you don't choose the cake! #makingconstrutionbetter

Did you guess "real or cake" from our last video? Product conformity is essential to determine the performance of firestop. As Dom Wang our firestop product manager mentioned in the video, Third Party Certification provides conformity to the quality, standard and compliance of the firestop product. Please ensure to check for Third Party Certification when selecting firestop product. :)
