Interesting that it's just this one step that they stick to the old 80s technology. The rest of the design, inspection, weaving, cutting, etc. seems to have moved on, understandably.

By the way, did you know that (some) modern looms use jets of air/water to send the weft thread across the loom? No more shuttles or mechanical passing of the thread. Amazing.
