Germany develops "smart factories"

[Islandman]

AMBERG, Germany--The next front in Germany's effort to keep up with the digital revolution lies in a factory in this sleepy industrial town.

At stake isn't what the Siemens AG plant produces--in this case, automated machines to be used in other industrial factories--but how its 1,000 manufacturing units communicate through the Web.

As a result, most units in this 100,000-plus square-foot factory are able to fetch and assemble components without further human input.

Ok.. a plant run by robots is a natural technological progression

I guess there's a reason some of us are getting yutes up to speed with the basics of robotics .. while Schools Challenge remains the "top" academic competition in the land. That was cutting edge back in the 1950s

You sure is not just less cane being cut? LOL.

Fe real. BTW me soon link you but I have been sidetracked in the last few weeks by some drama going on up at my high school. Trying to mobilize some alumni response to a serious situation. Hopefully it is resolved before it makes front pages.
