Woolworths is building a $100 million fully-automated warehouse to power its home delivery service.
The supermarket has applied to develop a 22,000sqm facility in Auburn in Sydney's west, which will use robots to deliver 50,000 groceries a week.
Groceries at the moment are packed by workers in regular supermarkets and at manual fulfilment facilities, where products are stored on large shelves and loaded into bags before being delivered.
