That is a weird photo. Every shelf has identical arrangements of nice, clean, pristine, unmarked and uncrushed corrugated cartons. There are only three sizes of cartons. All are precisely lined up. Where are the product boxes? Does any real-world warehouse ever look like that?

The robots on the floor look like the ones that Amazon uses to move entire shelves of cartons around the floor. There are at least 15 of them lying around doing nothing. Not a good use of capital.

The tablet shows somebody looking at 3D wireframe drawings of a fixed-location industrial automation robot with a end-effect gripper which is nowhere in sight and wouldn’t be useful with those cartons.

Ha, ha... it’s a news media and Walmart promotion of automated warehouse. As part of a main stream news article it will never show the truth. It was the first one I seen so I grabbed it.

I was just reminded of the robotic warehouses this morning when one of my guys needed help with a blueprint printer. All boxes actually have bar codes / qr codes facing out. The robots grab off the selves and stacks on a pallet. Another robot actually wraps the pallet in clear plastic wrap. A human picks up pallet in a forklift for truck.
