## Summary

Exotec released its "Avoid Robot Regret" report based on a survey of 250 supply chain decision-makers in the US and Canada; one quarter of respondents wish they had chosen a different automation solution, but 94% say switching suppliers would be too costly, leaving them to keep their existing systems for 10 to 15 years.
