Robots may break down, but never go on strike. They do not require maternity leave, 5 weeks vacation per year with 6 personal and 14 sick days paid. They dont draw company pensions, and if they dont do the job, they dont have the A.C.L.U or Union attornys suing on the basis of discrimination. Robots can"t do everything, but companies have learned that they are easier to get along with than some of today"s union workers. Taken to its logical conclusion, if we use an electric drill, a power saw, a pneumatic hammer, or even a hand held calculator, we are using a robot of sorts, and we wouldn"t be without most of those things, because we can do things better, cheaper and faster. If we owned a company, I"m sure we would also use Robots if it served the company. Its called progress. As to the manufacturing processes between Steiger, Bobcat, and John Deere planters, I"d say that since Bobcat is produced in greater numbers and that there are more similar parts to each unit, it makes robotics more feasable than Steiger which is made in small quantities, and at more customer prefered options. Planters are indeed labor intensive as far as assembly. The parts may be made on automatic machinery, but must be assembled mostly by hand labor.
