Re: Your greatest mishaps with electronic devices, what were they?
Another one that I experienced myself this time though.
I was at a friends company down in bavaria. He's working in a warehouse where different companys store large amounds of goods, you can basically rent the place or a number of shelves you need.
This warehouse had a new fully automated loading robot. It could receive pallets and boxes from forklifts and place them into certain shelves.
so, forklift comes around, loaded with a huge pallet of boxes containing beer, I think there were 24 bottles in a box and there were around 10 to 15 of these boxes on the pallet, I'm not sure anymore.
so, robot load the pallet and drives to a certain shelve in a certain part of the warehouse and lifts the pallet up to a part of the shelve which was just build, there was nothing up there.
The robot then placed the pallet on the shelve and gave it a nudge so it would slide back on the rail system and knock against the backstop. Well, you see, the problem was that when this new part of the shelve was p´laced on the older one, someone forgot putting in the Backstop plate. So, the pallet slid, back, and back, and back, till there was no shelve anymore, the thing turned a 1 80 and slammed down onto the flore from about 8 metres up, so around 25 to 30 feet.
You can't imagine the boom sound and the fountain of beer that spurted up from the ground, one of the workers said that that it looked like a miniature volcano.
In the end though everyone had a good laugh about it, and I think the guy who build the shelve is still teased about this up to today.
Greetings Moritz.
