…storage and retrieval systems (ASRS)? Oliaro: We've looked at very narrow aisle [VNA] systems and pallet-shuttling systems within racks and showed a customer how it could reduce its footprint. Such systems could have facilitated 60% less footprint than it was planning for, but it had already signed a lease. Dense storage is coming. Pallet shuttling very interesting because it can create multiple efficiencies. We're seeing that companies doing that kind of work have products with high retail margins and volume to make longer-term investments worthwhile. Understand demand, when to automate Is there a difference in e-commerce versus retail or omnichannel…
