Man…
Did you know we’re only 39 years away from the year that the Jetsons took place in?
You know, the world with flying cars, floating buildings and robot maids named Rosie?
We’re also PAST the year of 2015 – the time when the first half of Back to the Future II takes place…
So, with all that said – we’re behind where science fiction writers thought we’d be by now.
We’re not close to flying cars…
The idea of floating cities is not even a thought in most people’s heads…
But robots?
Robots are becoming more and more prevalent to in today’s society.
Now…
We may not be at Rosie status (yet) – but there have been some incredible advances in in robotics that are making this science-fiction idea into a science reality.
And one of the biggest brand names in the Western Hemisphere is jumping into the deep end…
Get ready for Botmart.
Yes, as you’ve probably guessed…
Walmart (WMT) is betting BIG on automation.
It’s looking for this technology to give it an edge in the retail game.
So, it’s calling in the big guns…
They’re bringing in the robots.
And honestly, can you blame it? Its US operating income has been stagnant for a decade – thanks in part to pesky e-commerce that’s often more expensive to manage than in-store sales…
But fear not, dear shopper, because Walmart’s got a plan to revamp its supply chain and save some serious dough.
Picture this: self-driving forklifts zipping around the warehouse…
Lightning-fast customer demand response…
And super sleek storage solutions.
Again, this is not some far-off futuristic fantasy – it’s already happening!
Automated distribution centers will serve up a third of Walmart’s stores by the end of the year.
By the retail giant’s estimation – this move could cut the cost of moving goods by a whopping 20%…
That’s a huge margin – and huge savings.
But before you start worrying about the job market… let’s talk it out.
Walmart’s robo-revolution could definitely shake things up…
It has already started trimming jobs in its fulfillment centers.
But let’s look at the bigger picture here…
Sure, some jobs may go bye-bye, but new ones could pop up in their place – and with all this automation – we might even see a four-day work week.
So, what’s the bottom line?
Walmart’s not just trying to impress Wall Street here – it’s shaking up the game and we’re all along for the ride.
Who knows, maybe in a few years we’ll all be zooming around in self-driving shopping carts…
A gorilla can dream, right?
Walmart’s latest move toward automation might seem like a sci-fi movie come to life – but it’s a smart business move that could pay off big time.
With e-commerce on the rise – retailers are struggling to keep up with the costs of managing online sales…
But with automation, Walmart’s hoping to streamline their supply chain and cut costs across the board – and that’s the type of numbers Wall Street likes to see.
Will it pay off?
Time will tell…
Which is why I’m watching Walmart to see if this moves the needle…
