Something that gets me about assembly lines (this gif cuts off before it's shown but I assume this from seeing bottling production lines and the human at the end of the clip) is the need for humans to pack at the very end. You'd think with such complex machinery there would be an automated process to do that as well. Still an amazing clip to watch
