Today was the last day of company visits. We had 2 great companies in Braunability(Formerly Autoadapt) and Remente. It was a good day for visits with the great presenters and the weather was not the greatest.
Starting the day early but we got some special treatment. Braunability had decided to get us a nice bus for our trip to their building. It was the farthest company that we visit so we could not really use public transportation. We walked outside and this giant coach bus was sitting outside. It was not a double decker but we sat at the top of the bus and got some great views on our ride there and back. It was a nice gesture to get us a bus to make our way out.
We were greeted right away from the HR department. We had Christer, Rolf, Hasse, Sara, Anna, and Anna-Karin talk with us today. So Rolf started with the history of Autoadapt but last year they changed their name to Braunability. Then we split into two groups. One group stayed with Hasse and the other went with Christer. My group went with Christer first and we looked at their products and how they work within the vehicle. It was was beneficial to see them be used. They also have a product that is a lever that a customer can use as gas and brake if their legs are not able to push the pedals.
When time was up the group switched and now my group was with Hasse. We talked more about engineering and how to make the seats safe. I really enjoyed this part because I was between engineering and business for my major. I was able to answer some questions he asked but not all of them. He did a lot of hands on stuff that really kept us all engaged and I love it. After that we got lunch. I was so hungry I did not take a picture. It was really good and i believe it was a beef something. Then HR talked to us(we weren’t in trouble I swear). That presentation dealt with values and mission. This was also more activity based and was enjoyable to do.
They also had a Ducati 749R superbike. This specific bike was the second bike produced. This is intriguing and it sound like it was a gift to the owner from Ducati.
Last but not least, Remente! Remente deals with mental health. They have an app that you can download if you would like. What the app helps you do is set goals and get on track to help your mental health. The founding members are psychologist and they were working with professional athletes before. He really had some good information to talk about and it really was insightful. Even if you think you are never going to have mental health issues I would still suggest giving it a try.
Daily Reflection
- Busses in Sweden are way cooler.
- The amount of work toward safety is mind blowing.
- Autoadapt is probably my favorite company visit. All the companies were great though.
