The article of March 5, 1982 gave the floor to the men who had made the industry and the men who were supposed to buy from it.
Rob GrantHOST
I think that's the key word here.
Rob GrantHOST
We know some of the bigger folks in construction, Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Deere are working on their own autonomous fleets.
Rob GrantHOST
And That would require kind of turning over the existing machinery that a lot of these contractors have.
Rob GrantHOST
So I think the retrofit compatibility alone is perhaps not a permanent moat, but I do think there are going to be a need and there is a market for retrofit.

Rob GrantHOST
what first comes to mind is repeat orders and renewals from the same contractors, right? This will be a good sign that they're seeing value in what Bedrock has provided to them.
Rob GrantHOST
Ideally, this would happen across different machine models, showing that it is kind of scalable across every type of manufacturer that's out there.
Rob GrantHOST
That would be a huge signal of saying, hey, you know, I have a mix of Komatsu and Caterpillar equipment, and I'm using Bedrock to automate each of those.
Rob GrantHOST
I think that would be super, super valuable signal in what we're watching for.
Duncan HydeHOST

Rohitesh DhawanGUEST
So miners buy large quantities of giant trucks, shovels, diggers, bulldozers in addition to all the other things that it takes to make a giant mine work.
Rohitesh DhawanGUEST
A lot of that, if you're a, say, an African resource-rich economy or a Latin American resource-rich economy, you're importing from outside from these big companies like Caterpillar, Komatsu, or Sandvik.
Rohitesh DhawanGUEST
I think there is much more job and value creation potential if you make those in country and that way go up the value chain rather than looking down.
Michael LiebreichHOST
And would the equipment be electric or would it be, um, uh, are, are they not more likely just to make, you know, a, a, a, a localized version of what was being made in the West or in the, in the m- m- West plus, uh, Korea, Japan 15, 20, 30 years ago?

John FelicianoGUEST
So I originally entered, I guess the rental type industry, industrial industry via material handling equipment.
John FelicianoGUEST
And I used to sell Komatsu forklifts.
John FelicianoGUEST
Now the thing with forklifts is you don't just buy them every year, you know, you buy them like once and then you see them like 30 years later and the people still trade them in, think they're worth what they, they were 30 years ago and they're scrap metal.
John FelicianoGUEST
And what introduced me to rental is within my territory was a big buying company of forklifts, which ended up being Durante Rentals.
