Today as we entered the caterpillar facility in Sanford, we were greeted with a video about the technology used at the company and then told we could take no pictures in the factory, because of this I have included a picture of a skid steer constructed at the factory. Today inside the factory we saw many welders and automation including robotic welders, machining systems, forklifts, and tool carts. The amount of seamless automation in the factory was amazing to watch as machines moved with no operators..
