[QUOTE="flatbread, post: 3475806, member: 60612"] I'm trying to get a larger perspective on the company's attempts at introducing automation in hubs. At least in my building... [LIST] [*]We have three Rubus doors. I haven't seen them used in ages. Too many problems with it, I guess, unless there was some Union thing I'm not aware of. [*]They brought in these "Clearpath" robotic irreg carts. If rumor is correct, one of them hit a worker, and they've all been collecting massive dust ever since. [*]We have a giant robotic arm with suction cups that's supposed to unload pallets. As with Rubus, hasn't been used. [*]We still actively use a gaylord dumper for smalls, but it's only as good as Amazon's ability to put just smalls in the gaylords. [*]Our automatic sorters work most of the time. The tenders are the under-appreciated backbone of the entire operation. [/LIST] Can we expect any improvement on these failures? Are these failures happening at other buildings as well? [/QUOTE]
