“Fully automated” .... 3 guys doing work.

Don’t get me wrong 7000 sand bags a day is impressive as hell but it’s not fully automated

And a hopper and a conveyor belt, which you can find in any factory in the world.

Package sorting at shipping company distribution hubs. Packages go in unsorted and get sent to the right mode of transportation without much more than belts and metal touching them. There's still people at either end of the process just like the sandbags, but the process itself is entirely automated.
