Inside Amazon’s Warehouse, Human-Robot Symbiosis - MIT Technology Review
On the other side of the warehouse, workers pack products into boxes for shipping with help from Amazon’s central computer systems. Items retrieved from storage shelves are automatically identified and sorted into batches destined for a single customer.

Further along, before products are sent to different trucks for dispatching, boxes are weighed to make sure no mistakes have been make in packing.
