Real-World MLOps Lessons from Warehouse Deployment Disasters
summary
Lab vision models fall from 95% to ~60% accuracy on transparent shrinkwrap, irregular shapes and dust; forecasting models miss volatile demand leading to overstock or empty SKUs; stacked 7–8 middleware systems collapse under peak traffic via latency cascades and schema mismatch; one autonomous deployment is abandoned after $7M wasted when operators refuse to use it. Phase deployments cut integration risk ~40%, chaos testing and human-in-loop retraining produce 99%+ inventory accuracy.
