They will just have to remove the people to make it more efficient.

- hinkley 8y agoSomeone posted an automated warehouse here a couple of months back. This looks like the one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeMTZd68fOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeMTZd68fOU The robots were above the boxes instead of below the shelves (maybe to beat an Amazon patent? I dunno.) But that warehouse looks like nightmare fuel for a maintenance crew.
- cesarb 8y agoFascinating video. Youtube suggested as the next video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DKrcpa8Z_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DKrcpa8Z_E and that one has at 2:52 what seems to be a maintenance vehicle placed over the same rails as the robots, so that might explain how the maintenance crew can do its job (the one in the video is labeled "Recovery 04", so my guess is that the main purpose of this one is to allow maintenance workers to rescue stuck robots).

- hinkley 8y agoIt is! How did I forget that. How do firefighters move through a building with no floors? > The blaze began high in the warehouse and was so difficult to reach that firefighters had to cut holes in the roof, according to Neil Odin, chief officer at Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service. A sprinkler system only contained the fire in its early stages. It took more than 200 people to quell the flames.
