Receiving is a serious bottleneck. The perimeter of a building is limited, with the number of docks growing as the square root of the floorspace. All else being equal, your I/O scales worse than your interior production capacity. This is one of the limits on the maximum size of a facility. Speeding up I/O flow is really good because you can’t parallelize it as much as other work. This robot is not super fast, but (assuming it works well) it is relentless. They'll get faster and better.
