Canonical ID: `247e9fdf-50a4-49fd-ba4c-d470f9fcc474`

Operator/customer: Schaeffler (minority equity holder in Agility) at its Cheraw, SC plant. One Digit moves ~25 lb baskets of bearing components from a stamping press to an industrial washing machine, ~8 hrs/day across two shifts, inside a plexiglass safety enclosure with a human Agility-contractor monitor (current units cannot yet detect humans). Only Cheraw is a confirmed live site; the '100 plants by 2030' figure is aspirational.
