I used to own one of these http://www.panasonicfa.com/?id=TAWERS http://www.panasonicfa.com/?id=TAWERS and it did not replace the worker. It did make him twice as productive with better quality, but he still had to load and unload it. The machine cost $1600 per month on a lease, so it wasn't 'free' either. It also took someone with programming skills to get it going, which again was not free. So while I am a big fan of automation, the thought that it is free and requires no workers is a fantasy.
