It can be a million dollars a day in lost production.
Maybe you have to throw away some of the product along the way.
And so the robot, if you can prevent that by inspecting the factory every single day, maybe every hour if you have to, there's a real return on investment there.
But there needs to be a critical mass of this task.
And we're focusing on a few that we believe are important.
ubiquitous in the industrial production environment.
And that's using a thermal camera to keep things from overheating, using an acoustic imager to find compressed air leaks, using visual cameras to read gauges.
measuring vibration.
These are standard things that you do to prevent unintended shutdown of a factory.
And this takes place in a beer factory.
We're working with AB InBev.
It takes place in chip fabs.
We're working with global foundries.
It takes place in electric utilities and nuclear power plants.
And so the same robot can be applied in all of these industries.
And as I said, we have about, actually it's 1,100 spots out now.
To really get profitability, we need to be at 1,000 a year, maybe 1,500 a year for that sort of part of the business.
So it still needs to grow, but we're on a good path.
So I think that's totally achievable.
I want to mention our second robot, Stretch.
