I don't buy it. I think what happened is they lead with the budget and timeframe. What good does that do? You get 90 million and 5 years, are you going to actually implement the thing? No you are going to get the perfect hybrid of political lawyerly parasite to suck the 90 million dry and the short timeframe makes it more attractive to the parasite not less.

The explanations make no sense in the article. Automating heat treatment is computationally expensive? What the hell are they talking about? The guy who is doing the heat treatment is not doing computation!



Oh yes who needs to sense and regulate the heat in a place forging, annealing, and quenching various metals while keeping both people and property safe! Also who would want to save money because the energy to melt tons of steel is very cheap.dont even get me started on the HVAC system! It's not like those are prime targets in lesser demanding industries for automation or anything.

Wait I guess I do buy it...
