AGCO Corporation expanded its Jackson, Minnesota facility to increase production of agricultural equipment. The expansion included a new manufacturing plant, warehouse, and visitor center. AGCO utilized a design-build approach with Christensen Construction to coordinate the complex and evolving construction plans within a tight schedule. Butler building systems were used throughout to enable the design flexibility needed and help meet requirements for the facilities. The completed expansion has increased AGCO's manufacturing efficiency and features a showcase visitor center.

When NCCM Company needed a new building, they developed a list of requests, including the need to accommodate expansion within five to ten years. The owners, Brent and Julie, toured industrial parks in River Falls, Wisconsin, and noticed a trend: many of the buildings were Butler® buildings. The Niccums decided to hire Derrick Building Solutions, a local Butler Builder®, for the job.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

ith fertile economic conditions in
the forecast for the global agricultural
market, the future looks bright for
North American farmers. That’s great news
for ACGO Corporation as well—a leading
global manufacturer of agricultural equipment
headquartered in Duluth, Georgia.
The growing demand for 200- to
300-horsespower wheeled row crop tractors
was one of the primary reasons why AGCO
decided to expand its domestic manufacturing
footprint. AGCO chose its existing Jackson,
Minnesota, facility for the expansion based on
several key factors.
For starters, AGCO had already built a
solid track record in the Jackson community,
and the company was very familiar with the
area’s experienced, hard-working labor force.
Additionally, Jackson’s Midwest location
offered efficient access to transportation and
infrastructure support.
While choosing to expand its operations
may have been a relatively easy decision for
AGCO, finalizing the right plans for the project
proved to be much more of a challenge. The
main stumbling block was how to approach a
high-profile visitor center, called the Intivity
Center, that AGCO had planned as part of the
overall project.
Several design firms and architects were
considered, but none were able to capture the
vision AGCO had for the Intivity Center. John
Sandison, Facilities Manager for AGCO, recalls
the challenges the company faced in getting
on the same page with the design firms. “They
were coming in with very high-end finishes,”
he says, “but the cost was high end as well.”
Sandison ultimately contacted Steve
Christensen of Christensen Construction
Company, a Butler Builder®
located in
Estherville, Iowa. Christensen Construction
had worked with AGCO on several small
projects in the past, and Sandison had a high
comfort level with the company.
A design-build solution enables AGCO Corporation
to complete its complex expansion effort.

BUILDING AN IMAGE
AGCO’s 58,000-square-
foot expansion is
a testament to the
company’s commitment
to the North American
agricultural
market, bringing a
manufacturing plant,
a warehouse, and a
visitor’s center all
under one roof.

A meeting of the minds
Since Steve Christensen had previously
worked with AGCO, he had a leg up in
understanding the company’s construction
needs and objectives. “As soon as I talked to
Steve,” says Sandison, “it really clicked for him
in terms of what I was looking for.”
Christensen confirms how smoothly the
entire process went. “John Sandison called
me in, and we toured and reviewed several
projects through which we determined what
met their vision,” he says. “We then put
together proposal drawings and ultimately
a colored rendering for submission to AGCO
Corporate for approval.”
The Jackson expansion project had three

making Christensen Construction’s design-
build approach all the more critical. “Design-
build is the only construction method that
would make this possible,” says Christensen.
“It allowed us to adapt the design as we went
along.”
AGCO’s first commitment was to the
building size and column locations, which
allowed Butler Manufacturing™
to begin
production of the facility’s structural, roof,
and wall systems. From there, Christensen
Construction and AGCO went through many
changes with regard to the interior design.
Variables that needed to be accounted
for included crane locations, rack layouts,
design equipment, an in-floor drag chain
assembly line, process pits in the floor,
and a showroom layout that needed to
accommodate 60,000-pound tractors. The
design was constantly evolving up until the
time the building was complete.
Other factors further complicated the
construction process. For instance, the new
facility had to be built to meet FM Global
requirements, which don’t always match the
state’s building code requirements. Again,
design-build provided the flexibility that
was needed.
“In our Intivity Center, many key design
elements were still evolving literally weeks

distinct phases: the visitor center, as well as
a warehouse addition and a manufacturing
addition. Christensen presented a Butler
systems construction design-build approach,
and AGCO approved the project in early
January of 2011.
Design-build makes the difference
AGCO needed its new warehouse area to be
completed by July 4th of 2011 in order to
move materials out of the old facility and
start expansion of the production line. With
such an aggressive timeline, maximizing
construction efficiency was of utmost
importance.
The fact that the plans were constantly
changing added to the project’s complexity,

Sandison. “So, we needed that ability to turn
on a dime, change direction and make these
little changes and still be able to comply with
all of the code requirements and get things
done very quickly.”
Butler®
systems add efficiency
and versatility
Facing such a complex and dynamic
construction plan, Steve Christensen knew
that systems construction, and namely Butler®
products, would play a key role in meeting
the project’s strict timelines and building
requirements.
The Landmark™
2000 structural system
was used in all three areas of the new
facility, providing wide-open interior spaces
with minimal columns. Additionally, the
warehouse and Intivity Center incorporated
conventionally built trusses into a hybrid
structural system design. These trusses were
supplied by Christensen Construction.
The hybrid structural solution was
particularly critical in the visitor center,
enabling Christensen to create spacious
75-foot bays. With huge field sprayers and
tractors maneuvering inside, creating open
expanses was an absolute necessity. The
exposed joists in the center were painted
white to provide an attractive interior
appearance.
The MR-24®
roof system was used
exclusively on the AGCO project, including
both on the new buildings and the existing
structure. Its proven weathertight protection,
low maintenance, and long lifespan assured
the performance that AGCO needed.
Christensen created a slope-build-up system
for the reroof solution. “This enabled us to
project the new taller roof out over the shorter
existing building to eliminate a snow drift
problem and avoid an interior gutter,” says
Christensen.
Butler wall systems were used extensively
throughout the new facility as well. A Butler
Thermawall™
system is featured in the
warehouse area, providing a clean, attractive
The Butler systems
