Let me get this straight, you are going to roll out this equipment in 2019 fully de bugged and ready to go to 100% with no further real world testing. Full service and parts depts. to fully support this equipment. Lets see how you deal with contractors who know how to game the system. You are going to find out these people have been ripped off so much in the past that they are going to be ahead of the curve you thought you had cornered. I know several contractors in the industrial sector who just lay in wait for people who really think they know the industries they are trying to get into. You can have the best product on the market but with no after the sale support , and operated by real worldclass idiots we will see how your game changer really changes the real world market place. BTW when I worked in Dubai I noticed All THE SKILLED LABOR SUCH AS WELDERS, MACHINISTS, LAY OUTPEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE NEEDED TO RUN A MFG FACILITY LIKE YOU GOING TO REQUIRE ARE NOT FROM DUBAI. YOU PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR THESE SKILL SETS TO RUN SUCH A SHOP. YEAH RIGHT , CONTRACT IT OUT.
