Moyo wa ku Willitz, California uli ngati moyo wa m’tauni iliyonse yaing’ono yakutali ku United States.
Willits ndi tauni yaing'ono ya anthu pafupifupi 5,000 yomwe ili pakati pa Mendocino County, pafupifupi maola awiri pagalimoto kumpoto kwa San Francisco. Ili ndi zofunika zambiri pamoyo wanu, koma ngati mukufuna kupita ku Costco, muyenera kutero. kuyenda makilomita 20 kum’mwera motsatira US Highway 101 kupita ku Ukia, mzinda waukulu wokhala ndi anthu 16,000.
METALfx ndi nsalu yokhala ndi antchito 176, ndipo Adventist Health Howard Memorial Hospital ndi olemba ntchito awiri akuluakulu m'derali. Pa nthawi ya mliri wa COVID-19, nawonso adagwira ntchito yofunikira pothandiza anthu ammudzi ndi kuthandizana wina ndi mnzake.
METALfx inakhazikitsidwa mu 1976. Mu makina oyendetsa msika, nsalu zambiri zokhala ndi nthawi zofanana ndizofanana.Kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma 1990, kampaniyo inapeza ndalama zokwana madola 60 miliyoni a US ndipo inkalemba antchito pafupifupi 400. Komabe, pafupifupi zofanana Nthawi, pamene kasitomala wamkulu adaganiza zosunthira ntchito zake zopangira kunja, kampaniyo idachepa ndipo antchito ambiri adataya ntchito.Dipatimenti yonseyo idawonongeka.Pamlingo wina, kampaniyo idayenera kuyambanso.
Kwa zaka zambiri, METALfx yakhala ikugwira ntchito mwakhama kuti ipewe izi.Tsopano, lamulo la golide la kampaniyo ndi lakuti palibe kasitomala mmodzi yemwe angathe kuwerengera ndalama zoposa 15% za ndalama zonse za kampani.Chiwonetsero mu chipinda chamsonkhano chikuwonetseratu izi, zomwe zimazindikiritsa. makasitomala apamwamba a 10 a kampani. Ogwira ntchito a METALfx samadziwa okha omwe akuwagwirira ntchito, komanso amadziwa kuti tsogolo la kampani silikudziwika ndi chimphona chimodzi kapena ziwiri.
Wopanga amapereka makasitomala ake ntchito zaumisiri, kukonza ndi kupanga, kuphatikiza kudula kwa laser, kupondaponda, kupondaponda, kupindika makina opindika, ndi arc zitsulo zamoto ndi gasi tungsten arc welding.Imaperekanso ntchito zochitira msonkhano, monga zofananira ndi zomangamanga zazing'ono. METALfx wotsogolera bizinesi yachitukuko ndi malonda a Connie Bates adanena kuti mzere wopaka utoto ndi ufa uli ndi mzere wokonzekera maulendo angapo ndipo watsimikiziranso kuti ndi wotchuka ndi makasitomala omwe akufunafuna malo amodzi kuti apereke magawo opangidwa ndi omalizidwa.
Bates adati mautumikiwa ndi zinthu zina zowonjezera, monga kutumiza pa nthawi yake ndi kupanga ntchito, zathandiza kumanga makasitomala opanga makampani m'zaka zaposachedwa.
Kukulaku kumatsagana ndi makasitomala ambiri anthawi yayitali, ena omwe adayambira zaka 25, ndi makasitomala ena atsopano.METALfx idapeza kasitomala wamkulu mu gawo lamayendedwe miyezi ingapo yapitayo, ndipo idakula kukhala imodzi mwamakasitomala ake akuluakulu. .
"Tili ndi zigawo zatsopano za 55 zomwe zikugwera pa ife mwezi umodzi," adatero Bates.METALfx anapunthwa pang'ono poyesa kugwira ntchito zonse zatsopano, koma kasitomala amayembekezera kuchedwa kwina, povomereza kuti adayika ntchito yambiri mu nsalu. pa nthawi, Bates anawonjezera.
Kumayambiriro kwa masika a 2020, wopanga adayika makina atsopano odulira ma fiber laser a Bystronic BySmart 6 kW, omwe amalumikizidwa ndi nsanja yosungiramo zokha komanso nsanja yosungiramo zinthu ndi ByTrans Cross posungira zinthu kuti apitilize kuthamanga kwambiri kwa fiber laser. .Bates adanena kuti Laser yatsopanoyi ithandiza kampaniyo kukumana ndi nthawi zazifupi zoperekera makasitomala, kudula kasanu mwachangu kuposa makina odulira laser a 4 kW CO2, ndikupanga magawo okhala ndi m'mphepete zoyera. Makina odulira laser. Imodzi idzasungidwa kwa mayunitsi / mayunitsi osinthika mwachangu.) Kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu pang'ono kwa makina odulira laser kulinso koyenera kwa kampaniyo, adawonjezeranso, chifukwa cha dera la Pacific Gas & Energy's magetsi ogulitsa ali ndi chidwi chochepetsa. kufunikira kwa gridi, makamaka pakachitika masoka achilengedwe (monga moto wa nkhalango pafupi ndi chaka chatha).
Oyang'anira METALfx adagawira zida zopulumutsa moyo za COVID-19 kwa ogwira ntchito mu Meyi kuti awathokoze chifukwa chopita kuntchito, ngati njira yothandizira mabizinesi am'deralo. Mu zida zilizonse zopulumutsira za COVID-19, olandirawo adapeza masks, nsalu zoyeretsera ndi ziphaso zamphatso zochokera komweko. malo odyera.
METALfx yachita bwino kwambiri kumayambiriro kwa chaka chino, ndikuwonjezeka pafupifupi 12% poyerekeza ndi nthawi yomweyi mu 2019. sichidzaleka.
Pamene California ikuyamba kuyankha ku mliri wa coronavirus wa Marichi, METALfx ikuyesera kudziwa momwe zidzachitikire.Atangolankhula za malo okhala m'maboma aku Northern California, m'modzi mwamakasitomala apamwamba a METALfx adalumikizana nawo kuti anene kuti wopanga ndi wovuta. ku bizinesi yake.Kasitomala ndi wopanga zida zoyezera zamankhwala, zina mwazinthu zake zimagwiritsidwa ntchito polimbana ndi kachilombo ka corona.Bates adaonjeza kuti m'masiku ochepa otsatirawa, kasitomala wina adalumikizana ndi sitoloyo ndikuti zinthu zawo ndizofunikanso.METALfx sichidzatsekedwa panthawi ya mliriwu.
"Tikuyesera kudziwa zomwe tiyenera kuchita," atero a Henry Moss, Purezidenti wa METALfx.Sindinalembebe.
Pofuna kupanga chisankho choyenera kuteteza antchito ndikuthandizira kampaniyo kukwaniritsa udindo wake wopezera katundu, Moss analankhula ndi Adventist Health Howard Memorial yomwe inali pafupi. wogulitsa pa nthawiyo komanso mwiniwake wa kavalo wotchuka wotchedwa Seabiscuit.Oyang'anira METALfx adakumana ndi atsogoleri awiri azachipatala a chipatala kuti amvetsetse zomwe akuchita kuti adzitsimikizire okha panthawiyi Chitetezo ndi thanzi la ogwira ntchito.
Ogwira ntchito amayang'ana kutentha kwa thupi lawo asanalowe m'chipindamo kuti awone ngati ali ndi malungo. Amafunsidwanso tsiku lililonse ngati akuwonetsa zizindikiro zokhudzana ndi coronavirus. Njira zotalikirana ndi anthu zili m'malo. coronavirus, miyoyo yawo ikhoza kukhala pachiwopsezo, ndipo ogwira ntchito omwe akwaniritsa zikhalidwe zawo zachipatala amalangizidwanso kuti azikhala kunyumba.Moss adati njira zambiri zodzitetezera zidatengedwa milungu ingapo chitsogozo choperekedwa ndi boma ndi boma chisanachitike.
Nyumba za masukulu zitatsekedwa ndikuphunzitsa kukhala dziko laling'ono, makolo mwadzidzidzi adada nkhawa ndi chisamaliro cha ana masana.Bates adati kampaniyo imapereka ntchito zosinthira kwa ogwira ntchito omwe amayenera kukhala kunyumba masana pasukulu.
Kuti musangalatse aliyense wopanga zinthu zowonda, METALfx imagwiritsa ntchito zida zowonetsera popewa kufalikira kwa COVID-19. Ogwira ntchito akadutsa poyang'ana kutentha ndikulowa mugawo la mafunso ndi mayankho, adzalandira zomata zozungulira zamitundu yokhala ndi baji yosavuta kuwona. Ngati ndi tsiku lomatira la buluu ndipo wogwira ntchitoyo ayang'ana kuti palibe malungo ndi zizindikiro, adzalandira chomata cha buluu.
"Ngati nyengo ili bwino ndipo manejala awona wina ali ndi zomata zachikasu, ndiye kuti woyang'anira ayenera kumunyamula," adatero Bates.
Panthawiyi, METALfx idzakhala ndi mwayi wobwezera anzawo m'chipatala. Ndi kufalikira kwa ma coronavirus komanso anthu pozindikira kuti ogwira ntchito zachipatala akutsogolo alibe zida zodzitetezera (PPE), oyang'anira METALfx adazindikira kuti ali ndi chitetezo chokwanira. Kukwanira kwa masks a N95, omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka ndi ogwira ntchito yochotsa mbali zina. Bates adati adaganiza zolumikizana ndi oyang'anira chipatala kuti awapatse masks a N95. masks a buluu ndi oyera omwe tsopano ali ofala m'malo amkati.
Henry Moss, Purezidenti wa METALfx, adakweza mapepala awiri akuchimbudzi, ndipo gulu linathandizira kusonkhanitsa zida 170 zopulumuka za COVID-19.
METALfx adaphunziranso za mwayi wothandizira a Frank R. Howard Foundation, bungwe lopanda phindu lodzipereka kuti lithandizire kukhazikika ndi chitukuko cha zipatala ndikutumikira anthu ammudzi wa Willits. komanso okonda anthu ammudzi.Komabe, maskswa samapereka chigoba chachitsulo choyandikira pafupi ndi mphuno, zomwe zimapangitsa kukhala kosavuta kusunga chigobacho ndikuchipangitsa kuti chikhale chogwira ntchito ngati chotchinga choletsa kugawana madontho a coronavirus kapena kupuma. za iwo.
Ogwira nawo ntchito yogawa chigoba adayesa kupanga pamanja masks achitsulo amphuno, koma mwachiwonekere izi sizinali zogwira mtima kwambiri.Moss adanena kuti wina adalimbikitsa METALfx ngati chida chothandizira kupeza njira yabwino yopangira zitsulo zazing'onozi, kotero gulu linali otchedwa kuti aphunzire izo.Zikuwoneka kuti kampaniyo ili ndi chida chosindikizira chomwe chingathe kupanga mawonekedwe ozungulira omwe ali ofanana ndendende ndi mawonekedwe omwe akufunidwa, ndipo ali ndi aluminiyumu pamanja kuti apange mlatho wa mphuno.Mothandizidwa ndi mmodzi wa makina osindikizira a Amada Vipros turret punch, METALfx inapanga milatho ya mphuno 9,000 masana amodzi.
"Mutha kupita kusitolo iliyonse mtawuni pano, ndipo aliyense amene angawafune atha kuwagula," adatero Moss.
Choncho, pamene zonsezi zikupitirira, METALfx ikupangabe magawo kwa makasitomala ake akuluakulu.Bates adanena kuti chifukwa cha kufalitsa nkhani za mliriwu komanso kusamvetsetsa bwino za kachilomboka ndi zotsatira zake, anthu ali ndi nkhawa pang'ono ndi ntchito yawo panthawiyi. nthawiyi.
Kenako kunatayika kwa mapepala akuchimbudzi, komwe kunaseseratu mashelufu ambiri a sitolo.” Zonsezi zinandisokoneza,” Moss anatero.
Kampaniyo inatsimikizira ndi ogulitsa katundu wa mafakitale kuti ikhoza kuperekabe mapepala a chimbudzi.Choncho, Moss anaganiza kuti zingakhale zosangalatsa kugawana mapepala omwe ankafunidwa kwambiri ndi anzake ogwira ntchito mwakhama.
Komanso panthawiyi, anthu akukankhira anthu aku Willits kuti athandize mabizinesi m'tawuni.
Pa Meyi 1, boma la Mendocino lidapereka lamulo loti anthu azivala maski akamakumana ndi anthu.
Zinthu zonsezi zapangitsa gulu loyang'anira la METALfx kuti lipange zida zopulumutsira ogwira ntchito ku COVID-19. Ili ndi mipukutu iwiri ya mapepala akuchimbudzi;masks atatu (chigoba cha N95, chigoba chansalu, ndi chigoba chansalu ziwiri chomwe chimatha kusunga zosefera);ndi satifiketi yamphatso kumalo odyera a Willett.
Moss anati: “Zonsezi n’zachibwanabwana.” Pamene tinkagaŵira zidazo, sitinathe kuchita misonkhano ikuluikulu, choncho tinayendayenda ndi kugaŵira zinthu zimenezi.Nditatulutsa mapepala akuchimbudzi pagulu lililonse, aliyense ankaseka ndipo maganizo anga anali opepuka.”
Palibe amene akudziwa zomwe zidzachitike m'tsogolomu, koma opanga ambiri akukonzekera makasitomala kuti ayambenso kupanga ndikuwonjezera magawo oda.METALfx ndizosiyana.
Moss ananena kuti miyeso monga kukonzanso dipatimenti ya msonkhano, kuwirikiza kawiri kuchuluka kwa mzere wokutira ufa, ndi kuwonjezera makina atsopano odulira laser amaika pamalo abwino kuti athane ndi kuyambiranso kwamakampani opanga zinthu. zida zina zololeza mbali zina zoyendetsedwa bwino zithandiziranso.
"Tapeza ndikukankhira ntchito yotsalira," adatero Moss. "Takonzeka kulandira mwayi watsopano."
Kampani yaying'ono iyi ili ndi mapulani akulu amtsogolo.Izi ndi nkhani yabwino kwa ogwira ntchito a METALfx ndi nzika za Willits.
Dan Davis ndi mkonzi wamkulu wa The FABRICATOR, magazini yofalitsidwa kwambiri yamakampani opanga zitsulo ndi kupanga, ndi mabuku ake alongo STAMPING Journal, The Tube & Pipe Journal, ndi The Welder.Iye wakhala akugwira ntchito zofalitsa izi kuyambira April. 2002.
