We all know the old adage, “you can’t reinvent the wheel.” In the automotive industry, innovation in electric and autonomous vehicle technology is changing that narrative pretty quickly. 3D printing, connected machinery, airless tires, you name it; the wheel is being reinvented, and the manufacturing tools that ensure quality and safe new technology have to adapt alongside it. On today’s Transportation podcast, we were joined by Paul Gatley, VP of Engineering for Bartell Machinery Systems.

“If the tire’s actually rolling more in a shorter period of time, that tire pressure means a big deal,” Gatley said. Gatley breaks down the exciting technology that’s reshaping the wheel and its function for the future of transportation, and how Bartell is staying ahead of the curve with their machinery to ensure efficiency and reliability.
