*"About 1.2 million additional advanced robots are expected to be deployed in the U.S. by 2025, Boston Consulting Group says. Four industries will lead the shift - computer and electronics products; electrical equipment and appliances; transportation; and machinery - largely because more of their tasks can be automated and they deliver the biggest cost savings." (Davidson, Paul. “More robots coming to U.S. factories" USA TODAY, February 9, 2015) The systems (Robot X and Robot Y) shown below are under consideration...
A company with a Can CORN of 15% must install one of two production machines that provide equivalent service (same benefits).
