I knew amazon was using these in 2018, but i'm blown away to see this system has been around for over 14 years now. (Dec 2024)😮‍💨 WOW

Benefits of systems like Kiva Systems Warehouse automation. • Higher production rates and increased productivity. There is no doubt that customers from Kiva Systems Warehouse benefit from the automation as robots are far more efficient than humans which increases customer satisfaction and productivity. • Inventory accuracy and security. Kiva Systems Warehouse Automation better precision and control over stock of any product. This ultimately makes stock taking at any other time very easy moreover with enhanced security. • Labor management; Kiva Systems Warehouse Automation provides multiple benefits for warehouse employees including helping to cut down on on-site commute time and do all the mundane work. It allows better managing and employing human skills in warehouse operations as well as increasing on efficiency, as an automated warehouse can operate 24 hours per day • Increased safety for people and products alone; this is justified in a way that the Warehouse operations are often associated with a range of high-risk activities such as handling heavy pallets and high racks, operating in a high-traffic environment. Today’s robots like at Kiva Systems Warehouse can do most of these jobs thus eliminating risks for employees. • Optimized cost. Automated systems like Kiva Systems Warehouse reduce labor cost, higher performance, optimize handling and storage cost, minimized inventory errors, eliminated risks of mishandling and product loss, etc. • Higher resilience; highly automated warehouses like Kiva Systems Warehouse have an edge when pandemics come because they are by default more resilient to unexpected changes that order to continue being processed. Drawbacks of systems like Kiva Systems Warehouse automation. • Worker displacement. Kiva Systems warehouse automation requires less manpower compared to non-automated practices making the level of unemployment among the jobless higher. • High capital expenditure. Kiva Systems warehouse automation automated equipment include the high capital expenditure required to invest in automation (an automated system can cost millions of dollars to design, fabricate, and install) • Higher level of maintenance. Kiva Systems warehouse automation requires a higher level of maintenance than with a manually operated machine. • Less flexibility and ingenuity. Sometimes, warehouse operations require some flexibility and critical thinking and that is where the human person outperforms the robots. Robots are often very limited in terms of scope of use and they cannot always respond appropriately to changing circumstances of unpredictable situations.

The most tie consuming part of warehouse is the fetching and storing of items, so that's why they choose to automate that part. The technology to fully automate exists but it's cheaper to pay someone 8 bucks an hour than buy a 90k robotic arm. And I think for this particular warehouse, since they deal with high end orders they still need to rely on humans for the packaging

Hello Atip. I am following a Coursera course in Logistics that drove me to this video. Reading your logic argument of eight years ago, I ask you, still think the same?

[@javidaliyev1345]

wow, nice, driving shelfs - can I buy one for my fridge and send it for shopping? ;)

[@pkillor]

I feel great even for my use. I have a guitar workshop and use many tools, and arrange them in place is very hard ... At the end of several months ends all messy. It would be nice to have a robot to bring me the tools I need to work on a specific job and then at the end, take them for use at another time ...

Walmart is already drooling over this system. They want customers to order everything online with a credit card and then wait outside while the packages are loaded. But who is going to buy anything when they don't have a job?

[@tomos20]

7 billion people and automation... clearly unemployment is a coincidence and will soon be dealt with

[@Zincink]

next stop, your prescriptions! I have no problem with automation. Nearly everything will eventually be automated or computerized in some way. Embrace it for a better future.

[@robosergTV]

if not for automation, 50% of those 7 billion would be dead. Another 95% would work as slaves on the field. Stupid luddites.

[@wiser1147]

@@robosergTV ok so you're saying before automation people died at a rate of 50% of a 7 billion population per year? Don't talk shit if you don't know anything. Automation is taking over people's jobs and causing them to eventually commit suicide. We were fine before automation and would've survived without it. Now when half of the population is unemployed and have no money who the fuck is going to afford the services of automation? Think before you talk, fuckwit.

[@pogopatterson42]

I was driven here by Don Tapscott with the promise that I would see the demise of humans but the warehousing process is incredibly under automated! Flat pack boxes that need humans to put them together, humans to put objects into the boxes, and place mailing details onto the box. The point being not that humans are still needed, but that these engineers haven't fully automated some processes that could easily be taken off the humans. Hopefully there will still be some employment out there!

some space for emergency exit incase of fire.Too congested

[@UxDarkGhostxU]

I imagine there's ample space for egress in case of a fire where there isn't only automation going around. Presumably behind the yellow/black tape.

[@Hanser19]

i don't like these things they are suppose to be a smart floor and adapt to the worker's, so their speed will adjust according to the worker's pace. but that doe snot happen no matter how you pick KIVA will never increase from a maximum speed so instead of speed get a way to have these little robot work more efficiently.
