The Robots of Rural Brazil
     








Where is Ford's
most automated assembly plant?
Detroit? Western Europe? China?
How about rural Camaçari Brazil.
Workers use to producing coco and rubber
are now working along side of robots to create Ford's
fuel-efficient

Focus and
EcoSport models.
The plant is also super flexible and can produce five different
models at the same time as under-bodies ride along floor-embedded
tracks and workers and robots add components.
Another interesting twist is that suppliers work under the same
roof providing subcomponents on demand -
apparently the UAW union wasn't keen on these concepts in the US.
The result is one of the leanest, most automated, and most efficient
factories in the world.
