I would agree, although typically the companies, technologies and people involved in automated warehouse design are different to those doing production systems engineering. (e.g. automated production has a bigger focus on cells, robotics and in-line production, while logistics automation is often more about automated storage and retrieval systems, sortation, piece-picking systems etc). There is a huge crossover though.
