So, you've heard Walmart is bringing in robots and automation. Not only to the stores, but to distribution centers and other areas, too. Ever wonder why? Here's a list of reasons that explain everything:
1) Robots and automation do what you tell them to do.
2) Robots and automation don't call in sick, take PTO or simply don't show up.
3) Robots and automation don't need benefits.
4) Robots and automation are accurate, precise and exact.
5) Robots and automation don't need training once they are programmed.
6) Robots and automation don't whine, moan, grown or complain.
7) Robots and automation will work as long as you want them to without breaks or lunch.
8) Robots and automation don't need constant supervision.
And I could add a hundred more.
You may not agree, and that's fine. But these are the facts. None of this is going to change.
