Episode: Harley-Davidson

go to top

mega version:

The Harley-Davidson V-Rod is the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle to go from 0 to 96 kilometres per hour in just 3.52 seconds - nearly twice as fast as any other Harley-Davidson bike. With its thrilling speed, liquid-cooled engine and exterior frame, the V-Rod represents a number of important firsts for Harley-Davidson. At the Harley-Davidson factory in Kansas City, US, it is up to the engineers, designers and factory workers to ensure the V-Rod can handle the high speeds for which it was designed, whilst maintaining the signature Harley-Davidson style consumers have come to love. Robots engage in a carefully choreographed dance to create the motorcycle's unique frame and remove any kinks. The engine assembly line, which puts together the V-Rod's powerful V-Twin engine, includes miniature cameras that monitor for any missing parts. Inside this mega factory, workers also build the V-Rod's custom-made cousins: Screamin' Eagle V-Rod and the Screamin' Eagle V-Rod Destroyer, the fastest factory-built drag racer ever made.

Genre: Documentary

IKEA began in Smaland, Sweden. In 1943, at the age of 17, Ingvar Kamprad sold matchboxes, pens and small furniture. He named the company “IKEA” an acronym for his first and last name and the farm and village where he spent his childhood. He made deliveries with his bicycle and later joined forces with the local milk truck. His efficient approach kept prices affordable.

Over 500 million customers visit an IKEA each year, making it the world’s largest furniture provider.

IKEA has almost 300 stores in 36 countries and 42 distribution centres in 18 countries and over 1000 suppliers.

It takes five factories across Europe to manufacture IKEA’s 10,000 item product line.

IKEA delivers over 250 million cubic metres of products each year.

Zbaszynek, Poland is home to the company’s largest wood production plant. Associates create 30 million tables, desks and wardrobes each year.

In nearby, Nowe Skalmierzyce, COM 40, an IKEA Supplier, builds 3,000 upholstered pieces of furniture daily, including 900 Ektorp sofas.

IKEA has sold over 40 million Billy Bookcases in the last three decades. Every week, IKEA’s automated manufacturing line creates 130,000 Billy bookshelves. Robots produce 10,000 bookcases daily.

Episode: John Deere

go to top

mega version:

Covering more than 300,000 square metres, the John Deere factory houses more than 2000 employees, 49 robotic welders, eight laser cutters and 14 kilometres of overhead track, all of which help stamp, press, cut and weld 60,000 tons of steel into the John Deere STS Combine – a harvesting mega-machine. To begin the process, precision laser cutters are used to create a majority of this mini-factory on wheels’ 17,000 parts. Assemblers then create the combine’s 450 kilogram cylinder and its massive grain tank. The factory uses nearly 400 tonnes of welding wire each year – enough wire to circle the globe. When the combine has been assembled and is ready for painting, it undergoes a seven-hour process to receive the trademark John Deere green colour. When John Deere decides to update its tractor’s design, the modification is first tested in the factory’s state-of-the-art virtual reality lab to measure the potential impact to the assembly line process, saving both time and money. With its 21st century technology and human innovation, the John Deere mega factory shows the raw power behind one of agriculture’s most vital machines.

Episode: M-1 Tank/ Abraham Tank

go to top

mega version:

One of the most powerful land weapons systems in the world, the Abrams tank is the US Army's principal combat tank in Iraq and is set to enter the Australian defence force ranks in 2007. Rather than built new, the Abrams are decades-old tanks that are completely overhauled from the ground up. Now the doors are opened on the two factories in Alabama and Ohio, responsible for the Herculean effort of revamping the 70-ton Abrams. In these two facilities, time-honoured tanks are completely disassembled, cleaned, refurbished and upgraded before the reborn Abrams is sent in zero-mile condition to flex its new muscles on the proving grounds of Fort Bliss, Texas.

ultimate version:

The M1 Abrams is a main battle tank produced in the United States. The M1 is named after General Creighton Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and Commander of US military forces in Vietnam from 1968 to 1972. It is a well armed, heavily armored, and highly mobile tank designed for modern armored ground warfare.
