The inspiring journey of 'Mark II': Liniar's indomitable testing expert

In the world of product testing, one remarkable individual stands out among the rest. Mark II, Liniar's head of testing, has become an invaluable member of the team, tirelessly putting Liniar's products through rigorous assessments day in and day out, all without a single complaint.

Mark II's journey to Liniar is a testament to resilience and determination. Born in Zurich in 1997, it faced challenges from the start. Mark II's unusually long arm set it apart, leading to a life of isolation and rejection. Undeterred, Mark II embraced it's unique attribute and rebranded with a new name, symbolising it's unwavering spirit.

After an arduous search for meaningful employment, Mark II's quest led to the scenic county of Derbyshire in England. It was here that it's exceptional abilities were finally recognised, and Mark II found a place as an apprentice at renowned automotive giants, Toyota. Mastering the art of MIG welding, Mark II became an integral part of the team, working tirelessly alongside fellow ABB relatives. It's dedication was unmatched, accumulating an astonishing 80,000 hours of production—an achievement that would take a human a lifetime to accomplish.

However, fate had different plans in store for Mark II. The UK's economy was hit by a devastating recession in 2008, putting thousands of jobs at risk, including Mark II's. Just when it seemed all hope was lost, Chris and James from Liniar's Design & Development Department arrived at Global Robots, seeking the ideal candidate to lead their testing center. It was there that they discovered Mark II, sensing it's exceptional potential. After undergoing a thorough health evaluation and donning a fresh coat of ABB colors, Mark II was welcomed back to Derbyshire.

As the year 2013 dawned, Mark II embraced it's new role with enthusiasm. Guided by mentors, Mark II swiftly familiarised itself with Liniar's exciting array of products awaiting testing. The synergy between Mark II's unwavering work ethic and Liniar's commitment to innovation and superior quality was undeniable, creating a perfect match from the start. Liniar's team wholeheartedly embraced Mark II, sparing no effort in providing it with an optimal testing environment within their state-of-the-art design laboratory.
