When we recorded episode 2 of Shop Floor Stories with Jonathan Berte (Robovision), this line stuck with us:
"It's very gimmicky that he brings you coffee, but you will fire him anyway."
Context: he's talking about humanoid robots that wander outside their job description. Sure, it's fun when the robot surprises you with coffee. But the moment a robot shows up somewhere it's not supposed to be, it's getting "fired".
After all, that's the same standard we hold people to, right? Predictability isn't boring, it's the whole point on a shop floor.
The full episode's live now, link in the comments. Jonathan also gets into why "grey" factories make more sense than "dark" ones, worth a listen if you're into that debate.
