Another Career Day at Dunwoody College

14. October 2022 Jamie-Erickson (0)

ATS attended the Dunwoody College Career Day Tuesday morning in hopes of finding good candidates for our electronic technician job opening.

The visit was from 8-10 am, with students walking through consistently. Several students stopped by to talk about the position and our company. A few resumes were submitted as well. We even had the chance to talk with an instructor who was able to point a student our way that he thought would be a good fit.

The career day was a great opportunity to get our name out there to future prospects.

We had the opportunity to be part of the Career Day and advertise ATS is hiring Electronic Technicians.

The school had two sessions for companies looking for help have a table and 2 hours of time to visit and meet many of the students.

Over 50 students and faculty visited our booth and learned about ATS products and openings.  We came away with numerous resumes and contact with instructors that would like to bring their Electronics Classes over for a tour.  Another show will be in the fall to meet other students.

California Fish Researchers Using ATS Technology for Salmon Tracking Work

2. April 2020 Jamie-Erickson (0)
 
Researchers in the Central Valley from the US Bureau of Reclamation, US Geological Survey, NOAA Fisheries, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and other agencies have been involved in ongoing fish movement studies in the Sacramento Delta, San Francisco Bay, and the Central Valley for many years now. ATS has been there to support these efforts as one of the primary suppliers of technology and equipment used for this research.


One study in particular taking place in the Central Valley began this last winter. ATS equipment and know-how have helped contribute to this study.  According to Josh Israel, Science Division Chief in the Bureau's Bay-Delta Office, "The technology really helps us understand movement and survival of juvenile salmon and get that information to managers effectively."

A website allows managers and stakeholders interested in salmon survival and movement to monitor ATS tagged salmon groups as they move down the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and through the Delta: calfishtrack.github.io/real-time/index.html. Further, San Francisco Estuary magazine recently featured an article which included interviews with some of the researchers involved in this innovative and important work: sfestuary.org/estuary-news-network-listens-for-passing-salmon.

Bumble Bees are Tracked in Minnesota with ATS Transmitters

KARE-11 TV's popular outdoor life television production Minnesota Bound recently featured a story about Minnesota's bumble bee population and efforts to learn more about bee behavior in the state.

The video shows researchers attaching ATS' lightweight model A2412 transmitter to bumble bees. The model has since been replaced with an even lighter version, the T15 Tiny Transmitter, which weighs only .015 grams!
