I've never really understood all the marvellous technology of this automation, but yet most of the processes like this always seem to have a human packing it in to box?
like picking a bag up and placing it into box is soo hard that can't be automated? is this a running lie or conspiracy to make us believe that we(humans) are still needed?

I used to do that job but in a sweet factory
Sometimes bags or boxes aren’t properly sealed, among other things. I suppose the robots haven’t quite reached the point where they can tell, but when a person picks up a bag like that it’s pretty obvious right away.
Also, pick and place machines are really expensive. Some food factories do use them, but humans are still cheaper.

Plus they don't need dinner breaks, I guess.

I did a job at a sandwich factory many years ago during the summer
I had the job of sprinkling a teaspoon of frozen parsley over the salad ready meals. I've no idea to this day why a human was required to do that job.

I did that for a few years, but it wasn't worth it because I was having my wages garnished
