Pipes & valves skids for pharma and food. or machining tools, conveyer belts for appliances. Basically making the tooling for factories. This is real engineering, process engineering

Orders of magnitude more complex than tooling for making software

If level of rigour for quality testing used for Clean-In-Place (CIP) piping skids of a biologics facility was used for AI software tooling, imagine the kind of software reliability we'd have instead of whatever the fuck today's genai tools spit out

Aseptic Pigging Cleaning System
https://www.spxflow.com/apv/products/aseptic-pigging-systems/

Flexible, bullet-shaped projectile made of food-grade silicone that fits perfectly inside the pipe. After a batch of sauce/dip is finished, pig is launched through the pipe using compressed air or sterile water. It acts like a squeegee, pushing 99% of the leftover sauce/dip into the bottling tank

This leaves the pipe walls pre-cleaned before cleaning fluids even enter

Amazing technology to clean pipes from within
