Manufacturing Explorers

“Manufacturing Explorers” follows Travis and Max as they explore the technologies, innovations, and people that drive manufacturing. An industry veteran, Travis is the chief revenue officer at AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. Max is a mechanical engineering student at the University of Alabama with a passion for sustainability.
For season two, Max (the son) is in charge. As an intern at Burns & McDonnell, the largest design and construction firm in the power industry, Max gave his dad — and all his viewers — an inside look at the future of renewable energy.
In the words of Max Egan, “Change is here … Participate … Be the Change!”
Launched spring 2022 on IMTS+—a digital platform dedicated to all things manufacturing technology — the second season of “Manufacturing Explorers” took viewers on a tour of all things energy. From Burns & McDonnell’s headquarters in Kansas City to a solar panel array in Joplin, Missouri, to a power station in Riverton, Kansas, Travis and Max discover what happens when you flip the switch. They also stop at an industrial construction and fabrication company in Appleton, Wisconsin, to see how the infrastructure for power generation is built. Their journey continues to the facility boasting the largest battery storage in the world, located in Moss Landing, California.
Travis and Max may have traveled off the beaten path, but they never went off the grid. And they certainly learned a lot about the power and energy and how it gets where it needs to. Tune in and see the places that are powering our nation and preparing for our sustainable energy future.
