And we feel good about the durability into FY '28 because it's all related to AI infrastructure spending, right? So as that continues, right, you're going to continue to see this business ramp with that.
I see this tied very much to an ongoing infrastructure build-out both directly with the energy infrastructure businesses and then supporting productivity long term in our warehouse automation business.
