This quote is the big takeaway for me:

"We use Macs to drive these robots, with control software that was written in Objective-C. We made the decision to rewrite this software in Swift late last year, but only after a careful survey of the bugs that had impacted our customers over the years. That survey revealed that most of these shipped bugs would have been prevented or detected early in Swift-based code."

Apparently they were able to categorize their shipped bugs and prevent those types of bugs from happening again with Swift. That's a very professional process.
