According to DCVelocity, UPS has confirmed its intentions to "fully" automate thirty key nodes in its system.  The most recent comments were made by Myron Gray, head of US operations, during a call with financial analysts on Friday, July 29.  DCVelocity reports that the transition will involve, "a four-year program that will yield 20 to 25 percent in productivity improvements per facility by the time the work is done in 2020."  About sixty percent of current volume moves through the targeted nodes.
