A new AGT800 went into operation today at Fulton County Processing in Delta, OH. This gauge was installed on their new Butech Bliss / Nelson Steel 72″ Pickle Line. FCP now has three total A.G.T. thickness gauges.
Annual Radiation Training
The staff here at Advanced Gauging Technologies recently completed our annual radiation training event. We do this in order to train new staff and offer a refresher to the rest. Each year, Dr. Laura Smith teaches us about the physics of atoms, nuclear binding forces, particle emissions, and a host of other cool nuclear physics topics.
In addition to all of the normal training material, relevant and current news topics always seem to find their way into the conversation. Items such as the Alexander Litvinenko poisoning with polonium-210 in 2006, the Fukushima nuclear reactor event in 2013, or the theft of radioactive Cobalt-60 medical material in Mexico last year lead to great training conversations about how radioactivity affects us in our everyday lives.
In the near future we plan on adding some of our training material to the website to help illustrate and explain how we use nuclear physics in our isotope thickness gauges. Stay tuned!
First AGT800 Laser Gauge in Canada Becomes Operational
Nova Steel’s new AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge, Canada’s first, became operational this week. It has been installed on a refurbished 60” Pro-Eco Slitter at the company’s Stoney Creek, Ontario facility.
Greg Jasnikowski – Our Personal Trainer And Friend
You may have read about Greg Jasnikowski in a previous blog, where he was introduced as our personal trainer and friend. Well, we want to expand a bit on who Greg really is.
Jasnikowski is originally from Poland and now resides with his wife and two sons in the Columbus, Ohio area. Greg has a studio in Columbus, where he provides numerous fitness training and boot camp classes throughout the week. He uses over 15 years of experience and knowledge to personalize each training session. Greg is the founder of Power Up Training System, which combines martial arts’ power techniques, plyometric athletic drills and the best strength weight bearing exercises with incredibly effective stretching routines.
With our unique business culture, Greg travels to our facility every Tuesday and Thursday, where we spend about 45-60 minutes in A.G.T.’s warehouse gym pounding out a variety of vigorous exercises. Greg is not your typical personal trainer; he mixes up the routines each and every day. As a matter of fact, we have never duplicated a routine. We’ve had the pleasure of letting Greg get us healthy since April 2014 and we are still holding strong in 2015. Not only have we all seen results due to Greg’s expertise, but we decided to take things to the next level where for the next three months we have implemented a company-wide fitness contest! Stay tuned for the winner.
Displaying Our Pride In America
Those of you who have purchased an A.G.T. thickness gauge have probably noticed the Made In U.S.A. sticker on the inside of the gauge cabinet. Since our products are designed and manufactured right here in the heartland of America, we decided our building grounds should exhibit the same sense of patriotism. Last summer, we installed a new flagpole so that we can proudly display both the U.S. and State of Ohio flags.
