    The machines in the picture are edgers, not generators. But yes they are also "digital."


    if a full service lab were to open today, the return on investment of a mostly digital lab is better in the long run.

    but the initial investment is about 5-10x that of a conventional lab, for the surfacing department anyways.

    not to mention you have to pay/train people who are a little more qualified, or pay more for automation and hire a really experienced person/process engineer

    Surely if you bought that many they'd knock off a couple hundred.
