Thank you for sharing your improved metrics and employee acceptance. I'm curious that with the 20% less sanding time, how does that translate into 40% increased in through put. Can you clarify on that definition? Thanks.

I have UR Robot and Spacemouse 3D connection, Does the 3D mouse Plag and Play or I can buy some software to connect them somewhere?

It's plug-and-play. Sometimes you might need the URCap, but those are most often found on the website of the mouse manufacturer 😊
