Manual... Automated... Magical? Manual... Automated... Magical?

We make process improvement as easy as making two identical high-density pallets, machine is idle long enough to clear chips and swap pallets. Cutter engagement time goes up, cost per piece goes down. This job we're highlighting (stepko.com) would be a no-quote for most shops -- critical callout for flatness and the slot feature was a nightmare on the mills. It's gravy now due to creative engineering and innovative off the shelf tooling. Magical?
