The Pros and Cons of the Amazon Dash Smart Shelf

August 20, 2021 by Liv

The Amazon Dash Smart Shelf feeds into this trend. The concept behind the gadget is as simple as it is ingenious — or so it would seem. The scale can be placed under certain items in the kitchen — both edibles and non-edibles — and set up to determine when you are running out of the product.

In comments to Yahoo Finance, UPS CEO David Abney says: “Last year we hired about the same number of people and we’re doing it this year with an extra 5 per cent of packages and it is because of automation.” 

The company’s busiest periods are the weeks leading up to the Thanksgiving holidays, and Cyber Week, which is a week after that.  [Read more…] about UPS using automation to move more parcels with same number of people, says boss
