Let’s be honest: insurance can be overwhelming in the best of times. Finding a way to simplify it can sometimes feel like a search for the mythical lost city of Atlantis. In another odd irony, insurance is something that people pay for, yet hope to never use.

Technology is helping ease the anxiety on both sides of the insurer/insured relationship. On today’s podcast, MarketScale Host Sean Heath spoke with Executive Vice-President of Sales & Marketing for SmartPay Solutions, Dino Carbone. They discussed how the industry is finally stepping out of its historically stodgy image and the ways in which technological advances can help build the trust necessary for the industry’s success. Also, Carbone told us the single most important determination that companies face when establishing an insurance protocol: the difference between a “nice to have” and a “need to have”.

“An insurance company touts their best services are their claims handling, and I totally get it, right? When something goes wrong, that business wants to make sure the carrier that they’re with is solid financially and knows how to handle claims. But, guess what? What if your client, your insured, never has a claim,” Carbone said. “Aren’t they your best clients? You’re getting all of this premium and you’re not having to pay any claims. And so now, the phenomenon again, with technology, is such that: ‘let’s make sure that the way we bill our best clients is the most efficient way of doing it.'”

Facing a 500,000-worker gap, a builder makes the case for modular chip and battery plants

Facing a 500,000-worker gap, a builder makes the case for modular chip and battery plants

Matt Willson of Holland Construction Services backs factory-built, digitally modeled modules. Independent evidence, including 2011 Construction Industry Institute case studies, points to schedule gains but finds cost savings much less reliable.

  • 0145% of contractors say a project ran late because they couldn’t staff it, making crew availability a bid-time question for owners planning a new plant.
  • 02Once modules are fabricated, design changes can’t be made, pushing decisions and costs earlier in the project.

Jemal and DivcoWest plan 323 apartments inside a 1982 DC office building

Jemal and DivcoWest plan 323 apartments inside a 1982 DC office building

Jemal Real Estate Strategies and DivcoWest plan to convert 1255 23rd Street NW, a 342,000-square-foot Washington, D.C. office building, into about 323 apartments. Madison Realty Capital lent $40 million for acquisition and predevelopment. DivcoWest is the current owner of the property and will retain an equity interest.

  • 01About 323 apartments at 1255 23rd Street NW would come close to the nearly 350 units Jemal Real Estate Strategies has created across its Syracuse and Richmond conversions combined, in a single building.
  • 02DivcoWest is selling into the venture but keeping an equity stake alongside Jemal.

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Element Materials Technology explains NVR and gravimetric cleanliness testing for aerospace, defense and medical parts in a webinar featuring its Hartford and Los Angeles labs. Joe Moore and Katie Legowski show how a blank analysis, a solvent rinse and a weighed filter patch turn invisible residue into a number against IEST-STD-CC1246 levels, and how AMS 2700 F changed the passivation acid default in 2018.

  • 01Nonvolatile residue testing weighs what a solvent rinse removes from a part, so a film the eye cannot see becomes a pass or fail figure against the drawing.
  • 02IEST-STD-CC1246E, the document that replaced MIL-STD-1246 in 2002, sets residue limits from 10 nanograms to 25 milligrams per 0.1 square meter, and its particle levels count down to 5 microns, far below the 100 micron width of a hair.
