Sometimes when surfing through the hundreds of channels available to Lakeland consumers these days through our cable providers, we’ll bump into one of those shows that walk viewers through how things are made. The episodes about cars often show fast-moving robotic arms assembling the various pieces as quickly and efficiently as possible, which makes sense for manufacturers that have orders to fill as quickly as possible.
Mercedes-Benz, however, is moving away from that way of doing things because, as it turns out, some fine luxury automobiles require real human hands to ensure the finest of nuance in the manufacturing process. To give fans of Mercedes-Benz in Florida the high-quality cars they know they deserve, the automaker is choosing not to rely on machines to make it all happen. Here at Fields Motorcars we support this way of thinking with gusto.
Specifically, it’s all the customization that customers require that is sending the automaker towards more toward hand crafting.
“Robots can’t deal with the degree of individualization and the many variants that we have today,” said Markus Schaefer, head of production for Daimler AG. “We’re saving money and safeguarding our future by employing more people.”
Obviously, this also will mean more jobs for auto industry
workers looking for good and respectable work, but the most important takeaway
here is that Mercedes-Benz is doing everything in its power to ensure that
their vehicles are produced with the utmost care. Robots do repetitive work
very quickly and efficiently, but what makes those vehicles sold at your Mercedes-Benz
dealer so different is their customization. Human hands are necessary for that
measure of quality, which is why it’s so exciting to hear that human hands are
what these cars are going to get.
