I also speak for myself, and there are tons of positions in my FC that don't involve robots at all. In the ship dock, we use conveyor belts, PIT machines, and pallet jacks. As you would imagine, it's quite crazy over there with tons of workers. But I wouldn't know how that area could be automated any further. Humans are needed to build pallets of packages and to build walls in trucks. Otherwise, we would lose money for just throwing the packages in the trucks.

I stowed previously for a year, and the pace increased when the new Nike systems were put in place. What that meant for me was that I could stow faster because I didn't need to scan the QR code on the bins I placed the items in. That alone took a couple seconds each time. I also saved my hands and wrists from injury by being able to use both hands when stowing the items. Before I handled them one handed with a scanner in the other hand. With these changes, I became one of the top stowers, and it was almost too easy after that.
- krapp 7y agoWith all due respect, It seems like you've created this account only to do positive PR for Amazon (which is against the site's guidelines,) and your comments and that of the other JAX2 accounts that appeared yesterday read like they've been filtered through HR. Amazon deserves to have their say, and there's nothing wrong with your comments per se, but if you're really a social media ambassador be honest about it and don't pretend your comments are entirely independent.
