“Under 'Network of the Future,' UPS will more than triple the number of automated buildings in its network to 400 facilities by the end of 2028 — closing roughly 200 conventional U.S. sortation facilities and driving $3 billion of costs out of the business by 2028, adding capacity with less dependence on labor.”

Target runs through 2028. Progress to date: UPS says it closed 93 buildings and deployed automation in 57 facilities in 2025 alone, with 63 major automation projects underway out of a ~$9 billion automation program.
