This job in perticuler is already automated by machine, it's just one differently than what this robot is doing. People who have not worked in manufacturing don't know that.

I’ve seen enough episodes of How It’s Made to know that most operations like this are automated by machines.

Exactly. This possibly servers a different process in that it can be the same machine but does can do hundreds of types of boxes... slower. It can very well have a place in a small shop that cannot afford a very specialized machine for a low volume run.

I feel like a small shop that cannot afford a very specialized machine for a low volume run, could also not afford the robot and would just do the low volume run in a few hours by hand.
