What it does
A ranked list of automation options for your warehouse, with cost, payback time and risks for each, so you spend only where it pays off. You describe your orders, the products, the building and your labour costs. The skill first asks why you want automation: labour, accuracy, speed or growth. It then compares options across the range, from simple conveyors and put-to-light to robots, shuttles and automated storage. For each it estimates cost and payback, checks fit with your space and software, and points out risks like peak-season load and downtime. It finishes with a phased plan so you can start small.
