Ford is using Mac minis on the assembly line
Ford is using a total of 14 Mac minis on their assembly lines in their two northern Indiana factories to sequence the delivery of parts, reports Macworld. Interestingly, the company that did the evaluation for Ford that lead to the decision has almost completely switched to Macs as a result of their findings in the Ford study.
We are certainly pleased with our Mac minis – we have two at the moment (one we bought used on E-Bay as a remote mp3 music-server for our Roku Soundbridge in the lounge and my main desktop “PC”). We’re probably going to add one more in the lounge in January to replace the Roku and add the possibilty of recording / playing back digital terrestrial TV using an Elgato EyeTV USB stick, which we are testing at the moment on my Mac mini.
