A Gem of a Factory

By sheer coincidence and close on the heels of my previous post, I received a link today from one of my Facebook friends, which showcased the transparent factory of Volkswagen in Dresden, Germany. It looks nothing like an industrial site, rather it’s more like an art gallery or a hotel … any structure of beauty and wonder other than a car manufacturing plant.

There’s a lot to say about the amazing technology used in this factory, but my personal favourites are the delivery robots guided by magnetic fields and the equipment that get their energy from the wooden floor. Watch the jaw-dropping YouTube video and applaud the greatness of this “engineering powerhouse” that is Germany/Volkswagen. (Click on the link below.)
