Panel Built Factory Offices Create Controlled Spaces in Hectic Environments

Panel Built’s modular factory offices can be formed from a variety of panel types to provide additional sound deadening, insulation, and fire resistance.

Panel Built Factory Offices Create Controlled Spaces in Hectic Environments

Panel Built, Inc. is a modular construction provider that specializes in prefabricated, panelized spaces for industrial, commercial, and military applications. Over their 25 years in operation, Panel Built has delivered factory offices to states all across the US for projects large and small. Among all these projects, all of the buildings have a common goal of creating a controlled, comfortable space no matter what environment the building is installed into. From warehousing to heavy manufacturing, there are a few common attributes that are sought after in most factory office projects.
First, many Panel Built factory offices require a high level of sound dampening, reducing the amount of manufacturing noise that permeates the office space. Panel Built’s standard vinyl-covered gypsum wall panel provides quality sound deadening; however, custom panel configurations are available to increase the panel’s sound transmission coefficient (STC) for exceptionally loud facilities. Second, Panel Built’s wall systems aim to provide more than plenty of insulation for the new building. This way, even as the temperatures raise/lower, the HVAC required to keep the office at a comfortable temperature will not run up the power bill. Finally, most facilities require a level of fire protection for their new offices. Panel Built’s standard Gypsum/Gypsum wall panel carries a Class A fire rating which is enough for most applications. However, Panel Built offers custom panel configurations that are non-combustible and even one-hour fire rated.
Overall, Panel Built understands that the same modular office that fits in a warehouse in San Diego, may not work for a manufacturing company in Detroit. For this reason, Panel Built offers a wide range of panel types in order to provide a factory office with the right attributes to fit each application. Founded in 1995 by brother Pat and Michael Kiernan, Panel Built operates under one mission, “To Solve Our Customers’ Space Needs with Excellence and Great Customer Service.” Panel Built began solely as a provider of panelized buildings, but today, Panel Built provides a full line of cleanrooms, welded steel buildings, ballistic rated booths, guard shacks, mezzanines, military towers, and more.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
