I built and sold automation to warehouses & manufacturers in my previous life. I know for a fact, that sales folks like to force fit their solution to a warehouse even if better options exist elsewhere. This happens more often than we care to admit.

I remember a piece picking operation had to change all their racks post purchasing an expensive solution bcoz the robots could not recognize the height of the lowest shelf. Anothet had major problems with the robots bumping into each other. There are many such automation f-up stories.

Did you go through a bad/ failed automation project or know someone who did? Share away
