Let’s face it. When it comes to Heavy Duty Equipment, from the outside, brands tend to run together. Thereal separator? Performance. As in ‘how reliable’ and ‘how productive’. That’s why Hyundai designs theirequipment with features that matter. From the minute-by-minute, online ability to connect with your machines and know their exact productivity, to the best warranty in the business - 3 years/3000 hours full machine and 5 years/10,000 hours structural. Hyundai is an original in a look-alike world.

authorizations to fly more.“We think it is really important for students to be able to

experience the capabilities of flying,” said Deb Norris,Sinclair’s vice president of workforce development and cor-porate services.Construction of the pavilion and renovation of the existing

building’s first floor are part of a $5 million project set forcompletion by early 2016.Norris said the renovation will allow more UAS and avi-

ation operations to be combined in one location, providingaccess to resources including aviation and flight simulators,avionics and engine labs and a wind tunnel.“The idea is that students will be able to walk right out of

that facility’s first floor and into the pavilion, which will pro-vide a hands-on learning environment,” Shepherd said.Sinclair student Drew Tait, of New York City, will finish

his UAS certification before the pavilion’s completion butbelieves it will provide other students with valuable opportu-nities.“That should give them an edge going into the working

world,” said Tait, 22, who is planning to work for the FireDepartment of New York. He believes first responders even-tually will use drones for tasks including searching for vic-tims, making his UAS training an asset.An official of the Dayton Development Coalition, which

is shaping strategies for the region’s and Ohio’s roles in theemerging drone industry, said the pavilion will be a powerfuleducation and training tool.“Nothing really compares to hands-on experience,” said

Chris Ford, vice president for defense programs with theregional economic development organization.Norris said the school of around 22,000 students projects

an estimated 3,000 aviation and UAS students will graduatewithin 10 years.

Just over a year ago, Columbus Equipment Company introduced Komatsu’s groundbreaking intelligent Machine Control (iMC) technology. Ever since, iMC has been trans-forming the way Ohio contractors move earth. Komatsu’s market share has ballooned as the technology proves itself

iMC integrates GPS positioning antennae and sensors to control the machine—not just the blade—thereby maximiz-ing material load and push. With no external daily setup, cost is greatly reduced. Robust automatics and intelligence also get the contractor on-grade faster—with fewer passes—

Columbus Equipment Company has provided Ohio custom--

tinues to do so. A specialized iMC support team will partner with you closely as you introduce unprecedented capability

Experience the iMC Revolution.
