I agree that many of the high-tech machinery videos we see could be demos or prototype videos made for web promotional purposes. Especially when the video is so well-produced, carefully-chosen music, etc.

I poked around a little more; looks like this company is over 100 years old: https://www.scottautomation.com/our-...y/our-history/

That explains a lot. An old, firmly entrenched, publicly-traded company would be a reasonable candidate to profit from the long-term financing probably necessary for an operation like this.

Looks like they were even early manufacturers for Whirlpool?
