You can´t really compete against well-tuned machine (automated picking) in warehouse.

PRO-MACHINE
+Machine error rate is 99,99*% constant
+Machine will run without break 24h
+Machine don´t call sick night before
+Machine is 50-100x quicker

CON-MACHINE
– Cannot be left unsupervised
– Can be really destructive to products in sort span of time
– Has lot of limitations what can be picked
– Need lot of skillful engineers to keep running

That is why the incredible machine is not perfect.
