one box every 15 seconds for hours at a time.... why don't they use robots?
Because they can’t currently make the robots feel like they’re a piece of shit and not worthy of respect.
The robots at my facility moved shelves of product around a caged grid system for quick inventory and holdover until it gets packed by a person manning a station at the grid. It flashes a projector light on which slot to grab from, you scan it, and the robot drives away with the shelf. There's a robot arm too, but it's job is to just stack plastic totes in a 3x3 stack on a pallet, then a conveyor pushes the full ones to the side
