Being familiar with multiple FedEx facilities, this was a good place for them to start. Though transporting packages by tuggers is a small part of the process and time/manpower consumed as the real efforts will be Loading/unloading trucks/airplanes that will require a redesign of their entire process and once that is complete tugger integration would be part of that.
Right now tugger drivers account of 5 to 10% of the normal shift work force. Tugger drivers also load the tuggers and unload them. These employees would still be necessary until full automation is achieved.
My point is for now those employees still have jobs assisting tuggers. Once automation is fully embraced the total work force will decrease and will never equal the current work force and during peak seasons no new hires will be necessary. My only hope is wages will rise for those with the experience with working in an automated environment.
"...second hand $100 shitboxes?"
What? People are actually getting such good monitors? People in my group have to scrounge around to find 10 yr old 19" monitors.
I am incensed that people are allowed such luxuries!
With all the other B*S we have to deal with in our country he wants to inject such a mandate.
This sounds like something that the current Administration would try pulling!!!
SO why stop there??? Make it one F*ing time zone?
F* me, F*ckity, F*ck, F*uck!!!
Every business is different but having one point of contact by voice is essential.
My cell phone can fall in the toilet, be turned off, be out of range, etc.
As to all the other collaboration tools, my land line is integrated into them. Why complicate the matter.
Memory can be improved at any age.
Reading aloud engages significantly more areas of the mind than silent reading. Try that for 15 minutes a day and see what that does for you.
There is nothing like someone taking the journey with you.
Here in Seattle Wa there is the www.seattlerobotics.org. You may have some other group local to your area.
Though the name says robotics, they cater to a diverse crowd of people, any one of which would be willing to help you. Monthly meetings, newsgroup, website, e-zine, and chat to help figure things out. Local communities can be a big help for someone that wants to learn more about electronics and build stuff.
I agree! WTF??? Are we now creating discussions about posts on other discussion groups about of all things frigin old email filters. If there is anything of value to share in the original thread then kindly show how this is news worthy.

I have my mobile service provider block 5 digit codes. Security for android needs to be beefed up.
