Last week marked a pivotal moment for the Field Service Engineers of Ash Air as they delved deep into the realm of e-controllers and optimisers at the Ash Air Head Office! The atmosphere was charged with excitement as hands-on experiences merged seamlessly with theoretical insights, ensuring that Ash Air remains at the forefront of Connectivity and Optimisation for compressed air systems. We also took a moment to celebrate one of our FSE, Louren's, birthday!

The training sessions were nothing short of dynamic, offering a blend of practical skills and theoretical knowledge that are essential in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. From understanding the intricacies of e-controllers to mastering the art of optimising compressed air systems, the engineers were fully immersed in a learning experience that promised to revolutionise their approach to technical support.

One of the key highlights of the week was the enlightening sessions led by Bradley, whose expertise and passion for the subject shone through every discussion. His insights not only provided valuable information but also inspired the team to embrace new ideas and strategies in their daily operations.

The importance of Connectivity Training cannot be overstated in an era where digitalisation and automation are transforming industries worldwide. By equipping the Ash Air team with the latest tools and techniques, this training ensures that they are well-equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow head-on.

The motivation and commitment of our employees is promoted by providing them with knowledge, ability and understanding in and around everyday FSE duties. Our main objectives and outcomes for a workshop is to help our team

 • Reducing downtime and quality costs for our customers
