And he's going to all of the robotics companies, whether it's on the software side, whether it's truly on the hardware side or the modeling or anything too.

And we're kind of getting this glimpse of the puzzle of like, we are the most manual manufacturing assembly portion of any single product line.

and seeing what works out there, what are the biggest differences or biggest gaps in this sector, and then figuring out who are the right partners too.

So for example, our first step is creating vision systems for the entire company to start gathering the data and also figuring out utilization of the team too.

So if someone says, how efficient is your technicians?

It's actually impossible because as I have hundreds of technicians, I can't go stare at each one and figure out

who's sneezing at one point, who's going to the bathroom at another point, who's talking to their friend at another point.

It's impossible.

So we actually created this vision system in the factory to start almost tracking all the little things that everyone's doing, but doing it automatically.

This wouldn't have happened three years ago.

It's doing it today because of the technology we have.

And then it's going to be maybe in another few years, there's dexterous robots that say, I can go put in, you know, makeup on my face.

And it's like, that's actually a very similar dexterity thing.

You're finding a very complex feature to go build off of.

And it's like, we're going to keep going out into the direction, too.

But ultimately,

The future of American manufacturing is not just automation, it's configuration.

And so we're putting a lot of effort into how do we configure all of these systems in the future versus just programming it once, calling it a day.

Because out of the hundreds of miles of wire harnessing that's on a plane, there's still hundreds of unique wire harnesses.

And that's also just one company in one vehicle.
