1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:04,119 --> 00:00:06,679 One of the biggest things we do is 3 00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:08,979 rough handling , drop tested or 4 00:00:08,979 --> 00:00:12,500 vibration tested . Boxes are tested in 5 00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:15,659 10 sides . You basically have on a box , 6 00:00:15,739 --> 00:00:17,850 that's why this corners here , what's 7 00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:20,017 called the manufacturer's joint . It's 8 00:00:20,017 --> 00:00:22,183 where the box is glued together . This 9 00:00:22,183 --> 00:00:24,350 right here is the weakest point of the 10 00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:26,406 box . So we heavily test . So you'll 11 00:00:26,406 --> 00:00:28,406 notice the darkened area there . We 12 00:00:28,406 --> 00:00:30,517 will hit one drop here and then every 13 00:00:30,517 --> 00:00:32,628 edge that touches that weakest corner 14 00:00:32,628 --> 00:00:34,906 of the box . And then we do every face , 15 00:00:34,906 --> 00:00:37,069 so a total of 10 drops per box . The 16 00:00:37,069 --> 00:00:39,291 idea is that if it survives the weakest 17 00:00:39,291 --> 00:00:41,347 part of the box , then it'll survive 18 00:00:41,347 --> 00:00:43,569 the rest , but just for demonstration , 19 00:00:43,569 --> 00:00:45,791 we're just gonna bring this up and drop 20 00:00:45,791 --> 00:00:47,902 it , and you can kind of see how it's 21 00:00:47,902 --> 00:00:49,958 gonna land . Sometimes they bounce , 22 00:00:49,958 --> 00:00:52,069 sometimes they roll , but the idea is 23 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:54,069 just to put it through its paces of 24 00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:56,180 real life like what it would see when 25 00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:58,549 it's actually out in the field . 321 . 26 00:01:00,389 --> 00:01:02,630 So again , repeat that process multiple 27 00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:05,389 sizes , multiple faces , and then open 28 00:01:05,389 --> 00:01:07,500 it up and inspect it and that's where 29 00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,556 that tank that you just saw comes in 30 00:01:09,556 --> 00:01:11,445 handy because now we can see that 31 00:01:11,445 --> 00:01:13,611 cracker really actually pushed through 32 00:01:13,611 --> 00:01:15,778 that pouch . It really broke through . 33 00:01:15,778 --> 00:01:15,589 What are we doing ? How can we repack 34 00:01:15,589 --> 00:01:17,811 it ? Is there some solution that we can 35 00:01:17,811 --> 00:01:21,500 do ? That constant 36 00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,139 shaking , that food is rubbing against 37 00:01:24,139 --> 00:01:26,083 that pouch . That pouch is rubbing 38 00:01:26,083 --> 00:01:28,195 against other pouches in that one MRE 39 00:01:28,195 --> 00:01:30,779 ration . That one MRE ration is rubbing 40 00:01:30,779 --> 00:01:33,580 against 11 other MREs , and then the 41 00:01:33,580 --> 00:01:35,691 box , and if this was a pallet load , 42 00:01:36,139 --> 00:01:38,769 now the boxes are chafing . So when you 43 00:01:38,769 --> 00:01:40,900 combine the drop testing vibration 44 00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:43,620 testing of that food and that packaging 45 00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:45,787 all together , it's a system and so we 46 00:01:45,787 --> 00:01:47,339 look holistically at the whole system .
