    if the product has to come from somewhere that isnt one of the two robot warehouses it affects the robots because they aren’t being used, if the product is a different shape / size / weight or in different packaging it affects the robots as they have to be recalibrated

    No… The robots are generalized to work with any product, any shape, size, packaging, etc. That was the point made in my first comment.

    Your edit shows you don’t even know what kind of machines are even using used. They are absolutely not just dumpsters filled by humans. It’s multiple machines, working together, controlled by an algorithm. They can adjust their behavior on the fly to fit any order. That is the entire point of these testing warehouses; to develop a 100% machine controlled warehouse.

      I guess we have different experiences. My prior experience was ITAM and ITSM procurement and third party maintenance on server equipment, support both sales and field maintenance spares on short term SLAs. And the warehouse robots there were very much calibrated per SKU and per warehouse.

      I then moved into the supply chain software space, mostly covering similar supply chain but we’ve branched out to cover other use cases (fashion, cpg…) but everything we work with has a specific buyer <> supply chain set up.

      It’s totally understandable that different businesses could have different set ups
