Let me explain how this went, internally:
1. Overpaid director sees huge budget for warehouse employees
2. Overpaid Project manager writes a great sounding document explaining how robots can be made slightly cheaper than using human workers
3. Project is based on 15 separate robotics sub projects which are all each running on bandaids and lies to meet their quarterly goals (surely those p1 requirements will be fixed in time)
4. Cost to break even depends on all of these projects working together in perfect harmony (they won’t, because they were designed in isolation and have no compatibility)
5. Project begins, all of the design cracks are apparent. No one raises any concern because no one looks past their own noses
6. Scope is reduced, milestones are omitted. Project runs way over budget, and human workers are both still necessary, and are now much slower due to these hundreds of thousands of robotic obstacles in their way
7. Incompetent product managers get promotions and dip before the fallout hits. Incompetent directors call it a major win and write a masturbatory LinkedIn post about it
