Walmart Canada is set to expand its robotics program, integrating advanced technology into its operations at Mississauga and Cornwall over the next five years. Following a successful pilot in Calgary, where robots demonstrated a 90% faster product moving rate than humans, the retail giant plans to implement autonomous forklifts and other robotic systems across its 14 Canadian facilities.
While the initiative will enhance efficiency, Walmart affirms its commitment to its 7,000 warehouse employees, underscoring that human workers will continue to be essential. This move is part of a broader trend in retail to automate components of the supply chain.
