Inside Volvo's Truck Factory: Where Giants Are Built | FD Engineering
Caterpillar Manufacturing - Inside the Factories Building Behemoths: https://youtu.be/6I6D3TT5Vmk
Trucks: Kings of the road with enormous power. Their manufacture demands a good eye, absolute precision and above all: perfect logistics. One of the world's largest truck factories is located in Belgium, close to the romantic town of Ghent. It's the ideal location, close to thousands of customers across Western Europe. This is where Volvo produces its bestseller: the all-time all-rounder "FH" - one of the most popular trucks in Europe with the most powerful engines in the industry! Approximately two hundred trucks each day! Each one unique: every truck leaving this factory is different: Mega Manufacturing individually tailored to customer requirements in a feat of logistical perfection. Timed to the minute. Around one thousand five hundred individual parts are installed by the workers in two hundred and ten operations over eight hours from the simple unadorned chassis - to a state of the art truck.
This Mega Manufacturing takes huge amounts of energy. But suprisingly without CO2 emissions. Volvo Trucks in Belgium was the first carbon-neutral car factory in the world. As early as 2009.
Green energy, perfect logistics, a gigantic, fully automated warehouse, modern robots: the factory is still high-tech. But nothing works here without well-trained people. Volvo Trucks calls themself a „people factory“. At the moment they are testing how to support their highly-trained workforces with new high-tech equipment: exoskeletons and virtual reality glasses allow workers and computers to become one! It could become the truck factory of the future!

The Station: How to Run a Mega Transport Hub | Complete Series | FD Engineering
NYC's Biggest Train Stations - Modern Logistical Wonders: https://youtu.be/_5lpT9FaJbU
Birmingham New Street is the heart of the rail network connecting London to Crewe and Glasgow, and Aberdeen to Penzance. Nearly one and a half million passengers use the station every week, and a train departs from the station every 37 seconds making it the busiest interchange station in the country.
With unprecedented access to Network Rail’s command centres and stations, we will capture the feat of running this major transport hub from all angles. From managers making critical decisions on whether to run or stop trains, to the orange army: the people who are trackside in all weathers making sure that the 20,000 miles of track are safe and serviceable. These dedicated men and women in high-viz deal with everything from maintenance to engineering emergencies and trespassers.
We will meet the hard-working customer service assistants who are on the front-line dealing with angry or drunk passengers, and who go the extra mile to get them to their destinations. We will join the shift of cheeky train manager Adam who loves a good prank but is less that pleased when he discovers a passenger without a ticket. We will also glimpse into the cabin of train drivers and see what it’s like to experience a near-miss at 80mph.
00:00:00 Part 1
We meet the team at Birmingham New Street where a train departs every 37 seconds; it’s the busiest interchange station in the country. With unprecedented flooding, Network Rail is wading through a crisis the likes of which it’s not faced in decades. Engineers battle the elements, a military operation kicks into gear at Network Rail HQ and beleaguered station staff deal with stranded passengers filling up the concourse demanding answers. In another part of Birmingham, Banksy comes to town and presents engineers with a uniquely challenging gift, and we get a take a journey with cheeky Train Manager Adam who has a very distinctive style of customer service.
00:45:35 Part 2
At a time when customer satisfaction is at its lowest in 10 years, we follow the efforts of staff as they use their ingenuity and years of experience to solve dramatic everyday incidents to prevent them turning into costly consequences. When a train runs a red signal at Birmingham New Street, engineers work through the night to move the stranded train, investigate the cause and get the station back into operation before the morning commuter rush. The intertwining fortunes of two of the nation’s biggest station come to the fore as Euston station is evacuated on a busy Friday night leaving passengers in London and Birmingham stranded, confused and angry. And dispatcher David needs to impart his wisdom to a new recruit on his busy shift.
01:28:53 Part 3
A strike threatens to bring Birmingham New Street station to a standstill and on the outskirts of London, mobile teams discover a home illegally erected next to one of the busiest areas of track in the country. In this episode the network faces a huge challenge with industrial action happening on one of Birmingham city’s busiest days of the year. As passengers are left high and dry, it’s down to Network Rail to deliver the bad news. We meet the dedicated trainspotters who come out in force to say goodbye to Virgin Trains. And at Euston, there’s no rest for Transport Police officers as they’re called on to back up rail staff when tempers flare.

Inside the Chocolate Factory: The Full Production Journey | FD Engineering
Europe’s Biggest Cake Factory - The Secrets of Mass Cake Production: https://youtu.be/mj45iOYuqvQ
We take the viewers from the sugarcane fields of Queensland to a dairy farm in Tasmania before revealing the slow journey of millions of Easter eggs and bunnies inside the Cadbury factories in Hobart and Melbourne.
This three-hour slow TV documentary takes a ‘paddock-to-plate’ approach by following the chocolates’ journey from the raw ingredients to the factory floor, where the audience is immersed and mesmerised in the melting, rolling, drying, shaping and wrapping that goes into making Easter eggs and bunnies.
This slow TV feast is sprinkled with fascinating chocolate-related facts and surprising multicultural stories.
From old-fashioned machinery at the sugar mill in Mackay to the hi-tech robotic equipment used at the Cadbury factories, this is a visual treat as we watch 6,014 tonnes of cocoa, 87 million litres of milk and 54 million kilograms of sugar slowly transform into 477 million eggs and 14.6 million bunnies for Easter 2020.
