The Hidden Economics of Robot Labor Arbitrage

Cobot payback allegedly requires ~300-worker scale and 18 months, per hosts' unsourced framework with no named company or data cited.

• No named company: The episode centers on an unnamed "Memphis distribution hub" that cut floor headcount ~30% in 18 months while raising throughput—no company, source, or data citation is given.
• Breakeven math: Hosts claim integration drag causes a 20% uptime dip in year one, and cobot payback only works at ~300-worker scale (18 months) vs. smaller operators where it fails.
