Automation is not for every business.
Some will have pack-out requirements
that are too involved for robotics.
Others will use the packaging step
as an inspection step. And a few will
simply miss out for no particularly
good reason.

Automation is, however, the only
response to: competitive pricing
pressures; a need for consistent
quality; inventory maximization;
cheap, offshore labor!

Businesses that cannot use
automation either are now
or will be soon, at a very
distinct disadvantage.
