    Again: What does that have to do with robots in the warehouse packing boxes? Because there aren’t humans? There are still administrators and such. They don’t want to eliminate middle management (even though it would be easier to do that than replace the actual workforce with machines), just the laborers.

      see my first reply: a packing robot can only follow directions within certain parameters and if those parameters change, a human can adapt instantly, a robot can’t.

      You asked how and why it might change and I gave some examples.

        The packing robot has nothing to do with the supply chain though. The machine doesn’t care if the products it packs come from one source or another as long as they are delivered to the same starting point and the packing robots are also not the ones ordering shit.
