U.S. manufacturing is losing skilled workers to retirement and closing factories while China dominates on cost and speed. The choice is stark: import skilled labor or automate. Hadrian, a hardware automation company, shows what the automated future could look like.
The U.S. is quite possibly fucked. Well-trained craftsmen are aging out. The mom-and-pop shops that had U.S. industry humming for decades are closing. China can do everything we used to do, only better, cheaper, and faster.
So macroeconomically, you have two choices: you either have to import a ton of skilled labor, or you have to automate your way out of the problem.
And the true giant of this hardware collective is Hadrian. Behold! It's glorious thing-making machines.
Oh, I'm welding.
