If #voiceassistants are transforming the way we live, it surely makes sense to get them to help out at work, too. Why wouldn’t we give #machineoperators or #machinists a hands-free option when operating heavy machinery? https://t.co/qWHWBSJZ7O

#Valve specs look great on paper, but real-world machine performance is all about handling the tradeoffs. Balance flow vs. size, pressure vs. cycle life and response vs. power before you commit to the datasheet. 👇
