"We don't have enough machinists. We don't have enough quality inspectors. We don't have enough welders in the country." Hadrian CEO Chris Power on how a modern software-driven factory works differently from traditional manufacturing: "At that task level, we have to get them 90% more productive." "If you want to train a Navy welder today it's going to take you a decade. So we have to augment the skills with software." "The flexibility to constructing something like a submarine demands is incredibly what we call high-mix, low-volume." "If you're building a Toyota Camry you're making 20,000 of them a year... You can easily automate a million iPhones." "What the software enables is running at that level of factory productivity but with the flexibility that something like a submarine demands." "So it's really the velocity and agility and reducing the amount of people because we just don't have the people in the US." "We have to get this productivity uplift with software and a new workforce." @2112Power @HadrianInc @davidu(a16z)
