80 sextillion product-variant designs in the database ready to be turned into physical product at need. And this is just at one company in Japan. I'm guessing that this is going to be more and more of a continuing need to be met in all manner of industries in the years ahead.

Apparently, the article in the link is in need of a fact-check.

80 sextillion designs in the database?

The world's current available data storage is ~10 sextillion bytes.

They not only don't have that many designs in their database, it's currently physically impossible to even have a catalog with that many entries.

Okay, that Redshift article needed to be fact-checked before publication, didn't it?

Or the company's marketing team needs to be reined in.
