Amazon plans to replace the robots of some of its warehouse workers

Amazon may find a way to speed up operations in its huge warehouses, but that will not work for some of its employees.

A Reuters report said the giant e-commerce company will begin installing machines that process products in boxes before delivery at some of its distribution centers.

According to Reuters sources, the plan may include the installation of "dozens" of machines in warehouses, to effectively replace 24 human posts in each warehouse.

In total, more than 1,300 workers may find themselves without work if the company goes through its plan.

The implementation of the operation is likely to take some time, as Amazon seeks to ensure the technology and ensure it works smoothly, according to Reuters.

Machines can pick up more boxes five times an hour than the human factor - according to Reuters - so Amazon will theoretically save time and money in this move.

According to the technology website of Mashbel, Amazon has been sharply criticized for treating warehouse workers over the years. The company blamed charges of low wages, inhuman conditions, work injuries and inadequate care, but the company routinely denied the charges.

Amazon workers hit several countries on Black Friday last year to protest against working conditions. It came to the point that some employees were paid extra to defend Amazon on the Twitter site, according to Mashable.

The company has already announced a small increase in wages last year, and CEO Jeff Bezos called on Amazon's rivals to do the same thing earlier this year.

The increase in automation may benefit the company in terms of raising the efficiency and final cost of shipping goods, but it may open a door of criticism because of the large number of North American-owned workers, which exceeds 125 thousand full-time employees. That workforce should be controversial.

"We are testing this new technology to increase security, accelerate delivery times and add efficiency across its network," said an Amazon spokesman for Mashbel. "We expect to re-invest efficiency savings in new customer services, as new jobs will be created.
