What happens if something falls off a skid? I would imagine it could really gum up the system.

If it's so automated why is there a bald head @ 2:18 ?

[MrBevbob]

dont think amazon could do it this way, so many small items in amazon. i.e, books and cd's not sure if a computer will pick these out as efficentley as a human

@MrBevbob the warehouse i work in auto picks anything from boxes of pills, makeup, batteries, CD's to 1000kg full pallets. It is possible, but the equipment costs millions ( the warehouse im in cost 650 million to buy and install the systems)

@MrBevbob Small items are fairly easy to automate. You just keep them in a box, bring the box to the person, person picks out what they need, system puts box back. If you go sufficiently advanced, you can even get the system to pack, seal and ship the boxes with absolutly no human intervention - but that's not a good idea, as you tend to see a rise in people getting the wrong things then.

Tokyo has these for parking your car.

Amazon.com should use such a system

[nrdesign1991]

@saik0pod you don't understand how amazon works

[georgebushsen]

@nrdesign1991 well amazon has warehouses like that plus the warehouses of their marketplace customers

Germans (Germany & Swiss) are very good at automations of this sort, especially with applications in daily life.

I've seen many sophisticated automatic vending machines in these 2 countries
