Recently Stone World was able to talk with Egon Hinss and Travis Farley of Breton about shop automation. 

“We see a lot of smaller stone companies beginning to automate,” said Hinss. “They are really taking little segments as you begin and automating those parts. So you can start with digitizing templates, then instead of physically building it, you still have a person there doing the template but what you have automated is the translation of that physical template into a digital format. As stone fabricators end up adding automation, it a lot of times doesn’t eliminate jobs but it is automating portions of your shop and we are of course there to help you take it to the next level where everything is fully automated.”
