Amazon rolls out machines that pack orders and replace jobs
I'm surprised that Amazon still uses boxes.  They have the market power to insist manufacturers comply with amazon-specific packaging requirements.  Why not just insist that all products be packaged in postal-compatible packaging?  Then the amazon warehouse robot need only slap a label on the product and throw it in the shipping bin.Another answer would be to have products packaged in standard, or at lease square, boxes that could be thrown into larger shipping boxes.Or do away with the warehouse altogether and have products ship directly from manufacturers.  I wonder if anyone has tried that?
