    Love how efficient the assembly process is, this is a great video. However, with these great engineering achievements also comes, often, deliberately ignored downsides for many human beings in the labor force. What answer do we have for those whom the high-tech marketplace leaves behind?
    It seems like the answer up until now has been to manipulate interest rates downward and "print" currency to sustain a debt-economy that has employed a growing amount of unproductive labor. A global debt economy that's borrowed perhaps decades of future growth that would have otherwise benefited future generations for consumption in the present. How long can this state of affairs last?
    As for EVs - Does the total resource extraction and energy necessary for broad battery-powered transportation beat the efficiency of the resource extraction necessary for refining oil into petrol to power our ICE transportation infrastructure when all factors are considered?
    Last bit of food for thought - Does the broad push for battery-powered transportation and green energy (among other tangentially related political pursuits) have anything to do with conventional oil yields decreasing significantly over time in comparison to yields and ROI extraction efficiency 30, 50 or 80 years ago?

      You raised some very important and interesting point. Would love everyone reading this comment to share their opinions and thoughts about the same.

    Firstly, thanks for not having an annoying soundtrack. Interesting how the factory is generally quiet

    I grew up in car capital of the world near Detroit during the 60’s. My how far vehicle production has come. The engineers whom design the robotics and incorporate them into a factory to build cars, vans and trucks are nothing less than genius. Imagine 50 years from now what these factories will be like. Great video, thanks for posting.

    The jigsaw puzzles which we all solved right from our childhood days are manufactured with some great engineering behind them. Watch this exciting and informative video to learn more!

      I like your manufacturing video, but do you have any videos that shows exactly how the rolled sheets that are utilized to make body panels are made, starting from refining in electric arc or basic oxygen furnaces, through ingot casting, followed by forming in rolling mills through various mill stands? Also for other components such as shafts, transmission gears, braking pads, springs, and pistons, do you have videos as to the processing steps of making them starting from refining of metals, through various casting, hot and cold forming and forging, machining, heat treatment, and other processes?

    Interesting to watch this. In Germany, work at a factory like this gives you a very decent middle class living standard. Here in Finland, the same work is literally done by paperless immigrants who live in sea container barracks and earn 500 euros a month.

      That's done from another factory and pre-fabricated body parts are send to the Mercedes factory for assembly.

    There's absolutely no way the bodies are built to with .0001mm - that's far beyond the resolution of those kuka arms.

      @Dr-InkBlot 3 года назад +5

      The internal encoder resolution maybe, but you don't know what external systems are used for fine tuning; for instance an actuator on the endpoint moderated by laser would do the trick, once the gross alignment has been completed
