Is the SmartDispenser® disruptive fluid dispensing? There are many, very creative and innovative products like the singing fry pan to be found on this site that showcases modern industrial design, Tuvie.

Why did NBC decide on tape delay for Olympics? We want real time production data…
Like many others, I believe NBC made a huge mistake in deciding to use tape delay for primary viewing of Olympics. In this day of instant, real time production data information, we can’t help but see the results ahead of time, from a variety of sources. Their tape delay makes it all so anticlimactic, not to […]
Fluid Dispenser… Repeat, Stroke…. Repeat, Fluid Dispenser… Repeat, Stroke…Repeat

As did many other Rhode Islanders this past weekend, I had the opportunity to witness an America’s Cup sailing race. Sunday was the final day of the America’s Cup World Series 2012 with a match race between the two Oracle Team USA boats. Local and global visitors lined the shore at Fort Adams State Park and even Larry […]
I’ll Have Another…Belmont, 10 Reasons Fishman®’s Customers are Saying, “I’ll Have Another”
When the first Fishman® linear drive dispense system was introduced in early 2000, manufacturers would routinely call Fishman® when they had a critical fluid assembly application that required the repeatability only an air free fluid dispenser could offer.
