Back in high school, in 1989, we got a tour of a GE light bulb factory (closed now since 2010 when they outsourced to China). It was interesting as the machinery looked to be early 20th century, but retrofitted as needed with modern PLC. They had 18 parallel lines cranking out bulbs. The automated warehouse was neat. Robotic pallet fetchers controlled by a VAX.
