“Down the Camel Shed straight reaching three hundred kilometers per hour, braking down to 2nd gear sixty kilometers per hour….hohohoooo hard on the brakes, you can see the carbon dust flying as he hits the brakes for the chicane …now, accelerating out of the chicane on turn 11, getting on the power ….nice and early, around the last sequence of corners…bouncing over the curves….coming up to the start-finish line….is it going to be beat the time set by the Renault …lets keep an eye on the timing monitors…across the line,… …P1 ! for Lewis Hamilton… by nine thousandths of a second…!!”
Phew, exactly how fast is nine thousandths of a second…..!
That, was the race commentary I heard the other day on television…
The Formula 1 world championship is all about time! Hard core racing, car control, team work, mechanical reliability and technology from the simple drinking water bottle pump directing fluids into the driver’s helmet, to the complex aerodynamic wings on the front and rear of the car to generate down force. They all work towards one goal…to be the quickest…the fastest in every segment of the race. Time in Formula 1 is critical….
And so it is in many other areas. From a heart surgeons operating table to the business house dealing in cloth merchandise.
So where does technology fit into this quest for the race against time. The answer’s right there in the example above. A second is too long. Technology helps save time. Oh yes the ultimate reason driving people and businesses on the path to making the best of time, is the money! But let’s put that aside for another day….another Time !
Let’s see, I’m not going to waste a whole deal of time trying to showcase how over the years, man discovered that a fire could be started by rubbing stones together to the date when a turn of a knob gives us not only fire, but a far more economical, controlled, high calorific value, variable size… flame!
There are text books full of those and other ways in which technologies have been developed to make better use of time available.
Instead, lets get to an example that shows how existing technologies can be integrated toward the same goal. No new ‘state-of-the-art’ developments… No multi million dollar patents and years of research and experiments.
Just the simple no-nonsense approach of getting existing capabilities together, and creating a state-of-the-art ‘trend’!
Aircraft Maintenance will no longer be the same.!
