Technology is integral to staying relevant in modern supply chain logistics, especially in markets that are always on the move and projected to evolve. A Licensed engineer and Designed Conveyor Systems’ President, Matt Ferguson, has witnessed this critical phenomenon firsthand.  Throughout his career, he’s observed how – when properly implemented and progress is identified – tech can be the key to achieving a customer’s goals.

But he also understands there are some difficulties and hurdles to overcome in the process.

“One of the biggest challenges with applying new technology is defining what good performance looks like,” Ferguson explained.

Join him and On Time in Full host Tyler Kern as they examine the convergence of value and technology when developing industry-specific logistics automation. They also explore how DCS creates and integrates new technology to impact their customers’ productivity as well as some of the trials involved.

With a background in systems integration, Ferguson is helping design equipment that uniquely fulfills customer needs, allowing them to actualize success and reach new levels of accomplishment.

“Let’s discuss how we can win in small ways, demonstrate that technology is going to actually solve the problem, or discover ways that it compliments how you do things now,” Ferguson said, “and then let’s begin to iterate – let’s continue to give technology a chance to improve and evolve because it has done so very rapidly over the past couple years.”

Find out how DCS is boldly pushing partners into the future so they can realize new levels of expansion.

CMHA’s 2026 report estimates paver and wall production

CMHA’s 2026 report estimates paver and wall production

CMHA's 2026 Hardscape Production Report combines confidential survey data from 41 manufacturers with broader industry estimates to track segmental concrete pavement and retaining wall production in the US and Canada.

  • 01CMHA surveyed 26 pavement and 38 segmental retaining wall (SRW) producers, with many making both products, combining confidential data with broader industry estimates.
  • 02NALP forecasts mild to moderate 2026 growth with regional variation, as inflation pressures consumers and landscapers struggle to hire qualified crews and maintain margins.
  • 03Manufacturers expect future product innovation around sustainability, stormwater management, design flexibility, and installation efficiency.

EPA’s $251M loan backs Pure Water, boosting supply for ~105K

EPA’s $251M loan backs Pure Water, boosting supply for ~105K

EPA approved a $251 million WIFIA loan for the Pure Water Project, an advanced purification plant in Los Angeles and Ventura counties expected to add capacity and reliability for about 105,000 customers and provide the region’s first local water supply. Under WIFIA terms, deferring principal until construction is substantially complete is expected to save about $13.6 million.

  • 01The $251 million Pure Water loan includes deferred principal payments following substantial completion of construction, a structure EPA expects to save about $13.6 million over the life of the loan.
  • 02For a utility planning potable reuse, the repayment calendar is a benchmark worth asking for alongside the interest rate and the loan size.

RIEGL’s miniVUX-4UAV hits 150 scans/sec in 120° FOV

RIEGL’s miniVUX-4UAV hits 150 scans/sec in 120° FOV

In a 120-degree field of view, RIEGL's new miniVUX-4UAV drone lidar captures up to 133,333 measurements a second at up to 150 scans a second. RIEGL lists 12 mm accuracy and 8 mm precision.

  • 01The miniVUX-4UAV’s upgrade targets its 120-degree field of view, with up to 133,333 measurements a second and up to 150 scans a second. RIEGL’s product page lists the miniVUX-3UAV at up to 100,000 measurements a second at 120 degrees and up to 100 scans a second.
  • 02The scanner's 12 mm accuracy and 8 mm precision are sensor figures. Finished-survey accuracy still depends on the GNSS/IMU, calibration, flight geometry and processing, so the RiLOC-E-25 versus RiLOC-F choice matters more with a sharper scanner.
  • 03On the full datasheet, check the miniVUX-4UAV’s maximum range. The miniVUX-3UAV lists maximum ranges of 170 to 330 m across 100 kHz, 200 kHz and 300 kHz settings (depending on target reflectivity).
