    ok so I said

    • a packing robot can’t change products without reprogramming

    you said

    • there are two warehouses you know of that are fully robotic

    I said

    • that takes more organization elsewhere though, e.g. supply chain

    you said

    • how would supply chain affect the robots

    I said

    • by changing the availability of certain products in different stocking locations

    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

    edit to say most warehouse robots are more like giant dumpsters that follow a human around and the human puts the products in the dumpster.
