Some guy took some pictures of the new Camaro assembly line and apparently got fired for it.

That's a TON of FANUC robots.
I see places like that everyday. People think their processes are NEW and innovative. A lot of the time the last customer I visited is doing it the same way.
ONCE at band camp. oh wait... ONCE in Florida. I was visiting a luxury RV manufacturer and walking through their plant and talking to the guy and was telling him how his competitor did something with my product. The support/guidance system for the slide out rooms. He proceeded to tell me "well, I guess I'll never tell YOU any trade secrets". I thought to myself, I know for a fact this company and that company swap engineers. Job hop from one to another. AND the particular stuff I was telling was 5 YEARS old and has been done with travel trailers before but not buses. 5 years mind you and I know for a fact a 3rd competitor did it the same way once they saw my customer do it. The main reason I did it was because I was pissed at the first company because I engineered the SHIT and they turned around and price shopped it to the low bidder (Tiawanese) once we proved it would work. No loyalty, that really pisses me off. Normally I don't share information.
