Claim 3: Data quality determines project success

Amazon reduced warehouse operating costs by 25% through AI-powered robotic systems and predictive inventory placement

Claim 4: Robotics deliver measurable cost reduction

Teams spend more time on press release iteration than on technical architecture, ensuring customer value before building
