Kentucky Truck Plant
The video looked pretty standard to me in terms of vehicle assembly...I assume upgrades would include more robotics? Interested to know more about this....these guys are a very big employer here in Louisville, in addition to this plant, there is another Ford plant here in town where they build the Escape.

Sorry to say that the manufacturing process used at the Kentucky plant is one of the oldest in the nation. Most companies have have upgraded their tools and systems decades ago. This plant is going to require billions of dollars in upgrades. I'm sure that they are weighing their options on upgrading or moveing to a low cost location.
