## Key points

- Automation is helping to fill the labor shortage and retention gaps.
- Packing has traditionally been a difficult field to automate.
- Machine intelligence allows robots to perceive and react to their surroundings.

### Key Points:

1. Automation is helping to fill the labor shortage and retention gaps.
2. Packing has traditionally been a difficult field to automate.
3. Machine intelligence makes this possible by allowing robots to perceive and react to its surroundings.

### Commentary:

As labor shortages have continued to plague the global supply chain, many companies have recognized this as an opportunity to modernize operations by introducing automation.

At [Pack Expo 2021 ](https://www.packexpolasvegas.com/)in Las Vegas, these solutions will be on full display. One company that visitors to the show can expect to see is [Mujin](https://www.mujin.co.jp/en/), a Japanese robotics company. MarketScale spoke to one of their co-founders, Ross Diankov, to learn more about the technology that is driving automation.
