DIE GLASERNE MANUFAKTUR

This is the most amazing factory I have every seen (not personally, of course, but maybe one day!)in downtown Dresden, Germany. The entire factory is transparent in the fact that you can see all of the steps of the cars creation (the VW Phaeton). Apparently you can even help build your car if you show up. The floors are Canadian Maple hardwood and most of the carts and so on are robotic which has the power supplied to them through induction from the floor and are guided by magnets implanted in the floor. This is a factory even I would like to work in. And when the cars are finished they are stacked in a glass tower to await delivery.
