Steroids For Sale: Soon in the future a truck driver will be instructed as to what loading bay to back up to at a robotic warehouse. Once he is docked the door will automatically open and robotic forklifts will open the Truck Trailer Door and load the truck. Each piece of cargo or palette will be weighed and added to the total. Each piece of cargo will be recorded as having left the warehouse by reading the RFID Tags on the containers.
All this information will be uploaded in real-time during the process in case it is interrupted. Although all the robotic systems will have power back-ups to complete their current task much like some surge protectors store energy just in case.
The robotic loaders will then lower the door on the trailer or truck. And lock it with an RFID Tagged plastic fastener. And a digital picture will be taken and stored in case there’s a problem or the seal is broken in route. The door to the warehouse will then be closed and the truck driver will be signaled that he can depart and deliver his load.
Does all this sound to science fiction for you?
It really shouldn’t because this is the direction that the engineers. And researchers are working towards and you can expect all this within 10 years. Additionally in 10 to 15 years after that the trucks will all drive themselves. And the entire logistical supply chain will run robotically and autonomously. Even with the labor unions and regulations. Which might hold up these advancements in technology surely this will come to pass within 30 to 40 years either way. As it is inevitable and Resistance is Futile.
