So how is the part feeder setup automated? That's the big problem for short runs. Board making, solder paste, pick and place, reflow, and inspection were all automated already. The usual short run setup bottleneck is that someone has to put the tapes of parts into the feeders, then load the feeders onto the pick and place machine.
The video doesn't show how that happens. The robotic systems seem to be moving boards around, not parts. Yet that's the big manual part.
