ASME TechCast

Cobots are designed to work alongside people, assisting with repetitive or physically demanding tasks. As manufacturers face labor shortages, these robotic systems are becoming an important tool for supporting workers and keeping them at the center of production.
In this TechCast episode, we speak with Christine Bush of Schneider Electric about how cobots are being deployed in modern manufacturing environments and the role they play in building resilient, sustainable industrial operations. To learn more about Schneider Electric, visit www.se.com.

ASME TechCast kicks off a new series, “Meet Your Educator,” spotlighting engineering professionals at ASME Learning & Development who are providing specialized training to help engineering professionals advance their skills and grow their careers.

In this episode, Chris O'Rourke, manager of the Educator Community, chats with welding instructor Logan Kucerak, owner and founder of Kucerak Engineering.

With more than two decades in the welding industry, Kucerak has led welded fabrication and installation projects across six continents. His professional background spans the oil and gas, power generation, and desalination industries. He now applies his expertise to pressurized and non-pressurized ground support equipment in the aerospace industry.

After listening, if you would like to take a course with Kucerak, check out the classes he currently teaches on ASME.org. He has also launched a YouTube channel, where he will be posting content in the near future.

In this episode, we check in with Wyatt Roberts, Head of New Construction at Dandelion Energy, about what geothermal HVAC looks like in practice. Building on our previous conversation with Dandelion founder Kathy Hannun, the discussion shifts to the MEP perspective. Learn how mechanical engineers can bring geothermal into their toolbox and adapt to its growing role in modern, high-performance buildings.
