@broosta, in your first two paragraphs, you refer to “evidence” and to “Tier one FMCG companies”.
Re evidence - I don't recall seeing much if any from you, apart from references to switchboard access – the relevance of which has been covered by previous posts from others, disputing your version in part at least. You have written verbosely in this latest post, but little of it is evidence, ie “the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.”
eg Factory inputs and outputs are not evidence supporting your thesis of “unstoppable continuous processes”.
Re Tier one FMCG companies – You still haven't qualified your skills and experience. I don't know if you worked directly for any Tier ones, and if you are/were their office guy with no technical knowledge, a CEO with your head in the clouds, the cleaner or whatever – therefore little credence can be given to your post, again.
My guess is that you are an academic with little practical experience – not meant unkindly, but it really comes through in your “textbook-like” vague generalisations.
I, on the other hand, have already quoted my experience – to elaborate, I spent 30 years working in factories, in R&D, in Australia for Unilever and Mars Corporation – they don't come any more Tier One than that – they are absolutely on par with Nestle. I have also had detailed technical visits to about 15 of their larger scale factories in USA, Europe and South America. Similarly to manufacturers of glass bottles, cans, BHP/Bluescope steel for cans etc, cartons, plastic containers, label printers, all with continuous processes – all of which can be stopped (furnaces aside) as/if necessary, in my opinion and experience, no problem, piecemeal if necessary, for the short time it takes to piggyback Ohm components.
Your 3rd paragraph and onward, demonstrates that you are fixated with continuous processes, and their methodology, beyond logic and common reality.
You don't seem to understand that practically all continuous processes actually stop from time to time, they are designed to do so.
Finally, to put the above in context, I repeat my previous statement, imo there is no problem, except in a few specialised cases, in manufacturing industry having Buddy Ohm installations be part of the industrial “natural market” (as well as offices and apartment buildings, of course). I see no reason for the manufacturing sector to not take advantage of what Ohm offers.
Time will tell. No point in discussing further. But thanks for your reply.
