Reading about the new technologies that Walmart is going to deploy in its distribution centers, starting with the state of the art facility in Shafter, got me thinking about how close we are to being affected by tech and automation.
Shafter will be opened in 2020, and if it proves to be as efficient as the company predicts, it won't be long before we have distribution centers like this all around the country, with STEM workers employed and with a large degree of automation. That can only mean that warehouse workers at Walmart don’t have anything to look forward to and will be on the job market soon
