It works at Huston Electric's prefab shop in Lafayette, Indiana, while a person supervises. The tab breaking and wire bending are from a single run of nearly three hours.

One cell learns a job.
Every cell repeats it.

We're starting with Factory Echo. It will make outlets, coiled wire and junction boxes for data centers.

In the film: wire, kitting, coils, the hall, the dock Rendered · opening end of Q1 2027

From one cell to a factory.

Introducing Factory Intelligence.

I've walked through 70+ American factories.

From a distance they look incredible.

Up close, most run on buildings from last century, machines older than your dad, and overworked people holding it all together.

I've been obsessed with factories for more than a decade. I've done over 70 factory tours across America, and in most of them people still do the handwork between the machines: feeding them, bending wire, fastening the same connection over and over.

So we're building a factory where robots do that work, in Lafayette, across the river from Purdue, where I studied robotics.

If your shop still does this work by hand, write to me.
