I've spent 12 years working in warehouse automation, and the shift to robots isn't just about replacing jobs—it's about redefining them. In our facility, we deployed 40 autonomous forklifts last year, and instead of layoffs, we retrained 15 workers to supervise and maintain the fleet, which boosted overall productivity by 18%. But I still wonder if smaller businesses can afford this transition, or if they'll be squeezed out entirely. Should we really be pushing automation so aggressively in sectors where the cost of human error is already low?
