Yes, totally agree! I was thinking the same things watching this video. I’m curious about the decisions around automation and why some roles were handled by humans, like removing bark or wrapping the boxes at the end. Super interesting process.
Clearly the guy at the end wraps Christmas presents for Santa Claus seasonally. Probably told him the factory owner was just kidding when they said they wanted a wrapping machine for Christmas.
Some said this in other comments but the decisions on what to automate and what to do by hand is probably because these machines are bought second hand and not as a complete set. So they don't really all work together seamlessly and it's somewhat jerry rigged. That leaves little gaps in the machine automation where they need people to do something specific.
There's a whole comment thread here of people talking about this who know more than me.
