My Bosses and JD.com Fully Automated Warehouse

My bosses at Guardian South Inc.

Here are my three bosses. Scott Mitts on the right, Preston Mitts (Scott’s son) in the middle, and the owner of Guardian South Inc. on the left, Lyle.

Scott is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion and Preston is also a BJJ practitioner. Second and third generation pipefitters…these two gentleman are probably not who you want to get into a physical alternation with. One can only hope to be in this great of shape at 55.

Here they are discussing important pipefitting stuffs.

very important pipefitting discussion….Scott’s arm is probably bigger than my leg.

Here’s Scott getting ready to do some work underground.

Here’s a picture I took today of some work we finished for JD.com which I believe is an Amazon type company in China. JD.com is implementing the very first fully automated warehouse management system in Fontana and we’re installing the fire suppression system for the racks in their warehouse. This is a lot of sprinkler heads!

In this warehouse, all the orders are picked by robots.

Here’s one of the engineers configuring the machine to get ready for testing.

Can you see the valves with red handles near the bottom of each pipe? Those were installed by yours truly!
