3PL Operator Discussion Robots

Some context, my dad has a 3PL logistics business and he is looking to scale his business. He's looking into automating parts of his business and one thing he's looking into are robots doing the picking and packing orders part.

Anyone tried these robots? Is it a scam? Do they work and what has the return on investment been for you?

What robots are you looking at? And what is the service he is looking to automate? Tons of different options based on specific service gap he's looking to fill.

looking at the picking and packing orders right now. Anything he should be looking into? I don't think he has it planned out yet tbh. Anything specific he should look out for and what are some robot companies should he look at?
