I am impressed by the manufacturing engineering. It is easy to appreciate the engineering of an engine it is another to know what it takes to make it possible to build. The RFID SPC is pretty neat too. It is also interesting to see the transition as technology (robots etc) gets more affordable and human labor costs increase. Someday almost no one will work. Wait, what?!?
