Walmart's effort to automate warehouses with robots faces challenges as the machines struggle to handle heavy items like turkeys and dog food, and cannot manage the long-used cardboard boxes designed for human workers. To address this, Walmart plans to replace its two-decade-old boxes with smaller, taped ones, increasing costs and changing worker routines. Additionally, the robots frequently require maintenance and have technical issues, raising operational costs such as electricity bills. Despite these setbacks, Walmart expects automation costs to peak soon and foresees fewer human workers needed in the future, aiming to reduce labor costs and improve inventory processing speed while still relying on humans for certain tasks and maintenance.
