Great podcast! We need to see a lot more about manufacturing on Ricochet. It’s such an important, and broad, topic.
I firmly believe we are at the beginning of a manufacturing renaissance in this country, and it’s going to be big.
Automated assembly robots are getting faster and more precise. And robots in China are not significantly less expensive than robots here.
Logistics has improved. CAD tools have improved. Machine vision software can now perform automated inspections. And the next step, I think, will be some AI-based tools that link all those together.
I agree Don! I am really happy that more attention is being drawn to it. You are right also that automation does equalize things a lot. As discussed in the podcast we have the right mindset to lead the way in innovation and also production. As a bonus the products are also safer to use and manufacturers are accountable. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
