Most recently , we have introduced some pneumatic presses to help reduce the fatigue of our assembly team . We will be introducing some automated ammunition manufacturing equipment this winter , as we transition our ammunition production from our South Africa facility to our Fort Wayne facility . This equipment will consist of a material handling robot , a dosing station to dispense the powder into the shell , sonic welders that weld the shells together , and a vision system for quality inspection .

This room will house several of these machines along with some new packaging equipment that will sort and package our ammunition products .”
